Carrier Sales Associate

Chicago, IL


At BlueGrace Logistics, we are one of the fastest-growing logistics and technology companies in the country, and we are looking for competitive, phone-driven people ready to build real income in a high-volume sales role. This is not a desk job where you wait for leads. You are on the phone building relationships, negotiating rates, and solving problems before they become problems. No freight experience required. Just the drive to put in the work and the grit to keep going when it gets hard.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Your day starts with a stack of open loads and active carrier relationships to manage. Then you are on the phone. Here is what that looks like in practice:

  • A Trusted Point of Contact: Calling carriers to source capacity for customer freight across North America, every single day.
  • A Strategic Negotiator: Securing competitive rates on the spot, sometimes with minutes to spare, and locking in solutions that keep freight moving.
  • A Problem Solver: Monitoring active shipments and stepping in fast when something goes wrong. Loads do not fix themselves.
  • A Relationship Builder: Building carrier relationships strong enough that you are the person they call back first.
  • A Performance Driver: Hitting daily activity targets in an environment where your results are seen and rewarded.

Who Thrives Here

This role rewards a specific kind of person. Not the most scripted, not the most credentialed. The most determined.

  • You Hate to Lose: You are naturally competitive and motivated by results. You want to know where you rank on the board.
  • You Stay Composed Under Pressure: You do not get rattled when a carrier falls through at 4pm. That is when you get to work.
  • You Are a Natural Communicator: You can build trust with a stranger in the first 30 seconds of a call and keep conversations moving forward.
  • You’ve Got Grit: You are not looking for an easy job. You are looking for a job worth doing.
  • You Want to Be in the Room: On-site, in the energy, around people who work as hard as you do.
