What is a Carrier Sales Representative?
Required Experience :
As a TRAFFIX Carrier Sales Representative, you will play a crucial role in the achievement of your branch’s sales targets and growth. You will facilitate the achievement of these goals by building lasting carrier relationships with our current and new partner carriers, negotiating fair but competitive rates, and managing the loads you book from pickup to delivery.
Not only is your role vital to the success of our carrier relationships and execution of successful shipments, you will also be a major contributor to the onboarding of new TRAFFIX business. You will be working daily with Sales Representatives in your branch on costs for adhoc and RFP freight. You will use your knowledge of the industry, negotiating skills, and relationships with partner carriers to secure fair rates that support our client’s budgets and our carrier’s business.
You will be the frontline contact for the carriers you assign to loads and the primary contact for our accounting team in the event of invoicing discrepancies. If a carrier you assign has an issue, you will be responsible for leading the TRAFFIX team to resolution and for securing the relationship with the carrier.

You have been working in carrier sales with a brokerage for at least two years. Through this experience you have developed a deep understanding of the market and have a network of carriers with whom you have great professional relationships.
You are results driven and love to negotiate. Maximizing profits while being fair to your carriers is a challenge you meet with enthusiasm. You are flexible and can adapt to changes in the market or customer demands.
Nothing gets past you. You pay close attention to detail and ask all the right questions to find the answers you are looking for.
When a problem comes your way – you face it head on. You look for creative ways to solve the problem and use the opportunity to learn so you can handle similar issues like a pro the next time.
That isn’t my job” is a phrase you never use. As a member of a team, you understand that sometimes you need to lend a hand in other areas for the good of the client.
