Job Title: Freight Broker

Location: South Plainfield, NJ

Type: Full-Time

Industry: Third-Party Logistics (3PL) / Freight Brokerage

About Us:

We’re a fast-growing, service-driven 3PL headquartered in South Plainfield, NJ. We specialize in full truckload, LTL, intermodal, and expedited freight solutions across North America. Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, reliable logistics support to our clients while building a high-performance, entrepreneurial culture for our team.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Cradle-to-Grave Logistics Broker with an established book of business who is looking for a home base to scale and thrive. In this full-desk role, you’ll own the freight process end-to-end—prospecting, selling, booking, tracking, and servicing your clients.

What You’ll Do:

  • Freight Coordination: Arrange transportation and manage the movement of freight from origin to destination.
  • Carrier Sourcing: Identify and qualify carriers, negotiate rates, and secure capacity for shipments.
  • Relationship Management: Build and maintain relationships with shippers and carriers to ensure repeat business and foster long-term partnerships.
  • Rate Negotiation: Negotiate rates with carriers and ensure competitive pricing for shippers.
  • Documentation and Compliance: Prepare shipping documents, contracts, and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
  • Problem Resolution: Address and resolve issues related to transportation delays, freight damage, and other logistics challenges.
  • Tracking and Reporting: Monitor shipment progress, provide updates to clients, and maintain accurate records of all transactions.
  • Market Analysis: Keep abreast of market trends, industry developments, and competitive landscape to provide strategic insights.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2+ years of experience in freight brokerage (3PL preferred).
  • Proven book of business with existing shipper relationships.
  • Strong understanding of logistics operations, including FTL, LTL, and spot market dynamics.
  • Driven, entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for growing accounts and closing deals.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Local to or willing to commute to South Plainfield, NJ.

What We Offer:

  • A stable, growth-focused home base in a strategically located NJ office.
  • Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission structure.
  • Operational and back-office support to help you scale your book.
  • Access to premium TMS and carrier databases.
  • Entrepreneurial culture with room for advancement and leadership roles.
  • Health benefits, 401(k), and generous PTO.

Compensation: Competitive base + uncapped commission (commensurate with experience and book of business)

Ready to bring your book of business somewhere it can grow?
