About Cargomatic

Cargomatic solves local freight with a marketplace of more than 22,000 professional drivers. We meet the needs of every supply chain. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

Cargomatic moves freight across full truckload, over-the-road, local, and LTL, and the largest share of it moves through our marketplace and dedicated shorthaul book. This role is the hands-on engine behind that movement. You will spend your day sourcing carriers, working the load boards, negotiating rates, and covering freight before it turns into a fire drill. You will price FTL and LTL opportunities as they come up and turn quotes around fast for sales.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years in freight brokerage, carrier sales, or transportation operations, with hands-on carrier sourcing and rate negotiation
  • Working command of load boards (DAT, Truckstop, or equivalent) and a TMS
  • Comfort pricing FTL and LTL freight: lane analysis, market rates, fuel, and accessorials
  • Strong negotiation instincts and the drive to cover hard freight under time pressure
  • Familiarity with carrier compliance basics: insurance verification, operating authority, and FMCSA safety ratings
  • Solid Excel and data fluency

DLTL & Truckload Specialist | Cargomatic

About the role

Cargomatic moves freight across full truckload, over-the-road, local, and LTL, and the largest share of it moves through our marketplace and dedicated shorthaul book. This role is the hands-on engine behind that movement. You will spend your day sourcing carriers, working the load boards, negotiating rates, and covering freight before it turns into a fire drill. You will price FTL and LTL opportunities as they come up and turn quotes around fast for sales. This is a build-and-cover seat for an operator who likes being in the market every day, can read a lane, and takes pride in keeping capacity locked and margin intact. You will report to the Director of LTL (Marketplace) & Truckload.

What you will own

  • Carrier sourcing and development. Recruit and onboard FTL and OTR carriers, build repeatable relationships on the lanes that matter, and grow contracted capacity so we lean on the spot market by choice rather than necessity.
  • Marketplace and capacity coverage. Live on DAT and the load boards, source competitive carrier pricing, negotiate daily market rates, and cover difficult freight efficiently. Get ahead of demand instead...
