Account Executive, Freight Brokerage

Written for carrier sales reps ready for the other side of the desk. If you have spent the last couple of years covering loads and negotiating rates while the account executive took home the margin, this is the seat where the account becomes yours. No house accounts, no cap on commission, and no waiting years for a book to be handed down.

Manufacturers, distributors and food and beverage producers across all 48 states, refrigerated and flatbed first. Work warm leads from our existing lanes and inbound, and hunt your own. Either way you close it, and the account is yours.

Pricing, tenders, service recovery and reviews. Your shipper has one name and one cell number, and both are yours.

Cover your freight with Skyline’s own tractors and trailers and with carriers you know, vetted through our published verification standard. Quoting reefer is different when the truck exists.

Negotiate buy and sell on your own book, and watch the number that pays you.

Our dispatch and track-and-trace team handles check calls, tracking and exceptions on every live load, and billing support grows as your desk grows. Your day is selling and covering, not chasing PODs.

Transportation and logistics experience, and this one is not negotiable. We will train you on our processes, tools and accounts; we will not be teaching what a rate confirmation is.

Two or more years at a freight brokerage or 3PL in carrier sales, carrier procurement or brokerage account management. Carrier sales reps are strongly encouraged to apply.

You can negotiate a rate, read a market and speak the language: DAT, Truckstop, spot versus contract, margin per load.

Relationships you can produce, carrier or shipper side, not just name.

Based in the Austin metro. This desk works in one room, on-site, and relocation assistance is not offered.

Nice to have: refrigerated or flatbed experience, a following free of non-solicit conflicts, bilingual English and Spanish.
