About GLX
GLX is the freight brokerage division of The Grane Companies, one of Chicago’s largest and most respected privately held transportation and logistics organizations — with nearly 100 years of operational excellence behind us. We move freight across North America with precision, hustle, and a service standard that our competitors simply can’t match. If you’re tired of working for a company where you’re just a number, this is your opportunity to join a team that values producers and rewards performance.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Carrier Sales Representative who knows how to build and maintain a winning carrier network. You won’t be handed leads — you’ll earn them. This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced brokerage environment and treats every carrier relationship like it’s their most important one.
What You’ll Do
- Source, qualify, and onboard new carrier partners across all modes to support active freight needs
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with carriers to ensure capacity and competitive rates
- Negotiate spot and contract rates to optimize margin while protecting service standards
- Monitor freight in transit and proactively solve service issues before they become problems
- Collaborate with account managers and operations staff to match the right carrier to every load
- Maintain accurate carrier data, compliance documentation, and load records in the TMS
- Build a personal book of carrier relationships that grows with you year over year
What We’re Looking For
- 0-1+ years of experience in carrier sales, freight brokerage, or transportation operations
- Ability to build and maintain carrier networks at volume
- Strong negotiation skills
- Relentless work ethic. This is a performance-driven role and we expect you to treat it that way
- Ability to thrive in a high-urgency, load-by-load environment without losing sight of the big picture
- Excellent communication skills — carriers need to want to pick up the phone when you call
Why Join GLX?
- Competitive base salary + uncapped commission — your effort is directly reflected in your paycheck
- The backing of a nearly 100-year-old transportation company with real infrastructure and real assets
- Access to an established customer base and freight volume from day one
- A culture that rewards hustle, not politics — if you produce, you’ll be recognized and compensated
- Room to grow within GLX and across The Grane Companies’ portfolio of divisions
- Health, dental, and vision benefits + 401(k)
