Overview
Business Development (Freight Brokerage) Jobs in Chicago, IL at Ship Smart Solutions Inc
We’re expanding our brokerage team, and we’re NOT looking for average.
If you’re the type of salesperson who:
Can charm a shipper, convince a carrier, and drink coffee all at the same time
Doesn’t flinch when someone says “your rate is too high”
And has survived enough “let me check and get back to you” calls to write a book…
Then we want you.
Actually… we NEED you.
Let’s be honest:
Freight sales isn’t for the weak.
It’s for the ones who wake up every day ready to:
- Hunt shippers
- Build relationships
- Cover loads
- Fix yesterday’s “surprise problems”
- And still smile after the 87th email
If that sounds like your kind of chaos… congratulations, you’re our people.
What we offer:
Real support
Strong team
Fun atmosphere
Space to grow and make serious money
What we don’t offer:
Micromanaging
Fake promises
Stress without humor
“Call 200 people before lunch” torture
If you’re a freight broker, agent, or logistics sales professional looking for a place where your personality matters as much as your numbers.
