Carrier Sales

Salary:Â $60,000 - $75,000Â
Location: Â Schaumburg, IL | Full-Time | In-Office

S4L Partners is a specialized recruiting agency partnering with 50+ high-growth freight brokerages across North America. We are currently representing a fast-growing, asset-backed 3PL seeking experienced logistics professionals ready to grow their impact and earning potential.

This opportunity is built for driven operators who want strong operational support, real volume, and the ability to take ownership of their role without unnecessary corporate red tape.

Join a company that’s redefining what success looks like in carrier sales, where you’re not fighting for scraps, but instead working with real freight, building strong partnerships, and contributing to a business that’s scaling fast.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Carrier Procurement Specialist  to take ownership of carrier relationships and ensure freight moves efficiently across flatbed, van, and drayage lanes.

This is not an entry-level role. You’ll be trusted to manage your own book of carriers, negotiate rates, and directly impact margin and service performance. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy negotiating, and take pride in operational precision, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own flatbed coverage while supporting van, reefer, and drayage freight

• Source, onboard, and develop strong carrier relationships

• Negotiate rates to maximize margin while maintaining service quality

• Manage day-to-day execution inside the TMS, ensuring accuracy and compliance

• Partner closely with sales to identify capacity solutions and unlock new opportunities

• Proactively solve capacity challenges and keep freight moving without disruption

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3+ years of carrier sales/procurement experience at a brokerage (flatbed strongly preferred)

• Exposure to drayage is a plus

• Strong negotiation skills with a proven ability to manage margin

• Ability to multitask and stay organized in a high-volume environment

• Comfortable working in TMS/CRM systems with minimal oversight

• Competitive, resourceful, and results-driven mindset

Job Type: Full-time

Benefits:

• 401(k)

• Dental insurance

• Health insurance

• Paid time off

• Vision insurance
