Job Description

Seven Oaks Search is representing a rapidly expanding, family-run 3PL/freight brokerage seeking an experienced cradle-to-grave Freight Broker to join their team. This organization values independence, entrepreneurship, and high-performance. They provide the tools, technology, and operational support - you build and manage your own book of business with total flexibility.
This role 100% remote and is ideal for a broker who is already successful in a similar position, is ready to make an immediate impact, and is looking to increase their earnings without the constraints of a corporate environment.

Position Overview

The Freight Broker will manage the full brokerage lifecycle: prospecting new shippers, quoting freight, sourcing carriers, negotiating rates, booking loads, and tracking shipments through final delivery. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role where success is entirely performance-driven.

The client offers top-tier systems, including Aljex, 3PL Systems/TMS, DAT 360, Macropoint, Sylectus and additional load boards - giving the broker a strong operational foundation to execute at a high level.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and grow a personal book of business through outbound sales calls, emails, and relationship-building with shippers.
  • Work directly with customers to understand freight needs, provide accurate quotes, and secure shipment opportunities.
  • Post loads, source carriers, and negotiate rates to ensure profitability and service reliability.
  • Book shipments, coordinate scheduling, and manage all communication between shippers and carriers.
  • Track and trace all shipments under your management, providing proactive updates and resolving any in-transit issues.
  • Maintain detailed records of quotes, shipments, carrier performance, and customer interactions.
  • Monitor market trends, rate fluctuations, and capacity conditions to quote competitively and maximize margins.
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • 2+ years of proven experience as a cradle-to-grave Freight Broker or Freight Agent.
  • Existing book of business or strong industry relationships highly preferred.
  • Strong ability to negotiate with both shippers and carriers.
  • Demonstrated success in an autonomous brokerage role - confident managing sales, operations, and communication end-to-end.
  • Proficient or willing to quickly learn systems such as Aljex, 3PL Systems, DAT, Macropoint, and similar platforms.
  • Highly organized, resilient, and motivated by uncapped earning potential.
What This Client Offers
  • 100% schedule flexibility - you manage your time, workload, and vacation.
  • A supportive, family-run environment without corporate layers or micromanagement.
  • Advanced freight-brokerage tools to help you operate efficiently and competitively.
  • An entrepreneurial role where you truly make what you put into it.
  • Opportunity to make an immediate impact and grow alongside a scaling organization.
