Carrier Sales Specialist (Full-time)
The First Call Logistics team is actively seeking dynamic sales experts eager to contribute meaningfully to our company’s rapid growth.
As part of FCL’s Carrier Sales team, you’ll enter a fast-paced environment where every exchange represents opportunity. With our company’s backing and an array of in-house services at your disposal, you will cultivate mutually beneficial relationships with carrier customers and teammates, all while growing your paycheck and advancing your logistics career.
First Call’s carrier sales philosophy is Truck-to-Load. Trucks are what drive our business; while most brokers push the “load” itself as the driving factor of a logistics relationship, First Call recognizes the truck’s foundational role in expanding our company footprint.
We believe effort and determination, paired with coachability and the right support, are a winning mix. You’ll bring accountability and a healthy sense of urgency every day as you deliver value to our customers, carriers and internal teams.
