Chicago, IL | Base + Uncapped Commission

This role is for people who bet on themselves.

From day one, you’ll build your own book of business, close deals, and earn commission based on performance — not tenure.

If you’re competitive, coachable, and motivated by performance-based pay, keep reading.

What This Role Is

Freight brokerage sales.

You will: • Prospect and cold call companies that move freight • Build relationships with shippers and transportation companies from the ground up • Negotiate rates and protect margin • Partner internally to execute freight successfully • Track revenue and grow your book month over month

This is true business development — not account maintenance.

It’s competitive. Resilience is required. Margins are earned. Not every variable will be in your control.

But if you can sell and stay consistent, the upside is real.

No Industry Experience Required You don’t need a background in transportation or logistics to succeed here.

We provide hands-on, in-person training and mentorship from experienced leaders. You’ll receive real-time coaching, structured onboarding, and daily support as you build your book.

We hire for mindset and work ethic. We train for skill.

Why Reps Join Avenue We’re growing — and that creates opportunity.

There are no restricted territory models and no legacy house accounts limiting who you can pursue. What you build is yours.

Our commission structure pays up to 17% of the Gross Profit you generate, meaning your income scales directly with your production.

In an industry where commission models vary widely, we believe high producers should be compensated accordingly.

Who Thrives Here • Individuals motivated by performance-based pay • People who are comfortable hearing “no” and pushing forward • Self-starters who want ownership early • Professionals who measure success in results

This is a performance-driven environment.

If you’re looking for comfortable, this isn’t it.
