About the role
About Serve Freight Serve Freight is a third-party logistics provider specializing in high-stakes, time-sensitive, and complex shipments. We are building a multi-division logistics platform with a freight brokerage that runs like a machine. Serve Freight is a mission-driven company. We exist to move the freight that can’t afford to go wrong, and to do it with a level of precision and accountability our customers can count on. That mission shapes how we work: high standards, a bias for pace, and a genuine willingness to invest in the people who help us deliver on it.
The Role:
This Business Development Representative role is a phone-first sales seat for an experienced seller. You’ll spend your day calling shippers, qualifying opportunities, and applying your sales experience to the freight brokerage business. You’ll work directly with our Director of Sales and Operations, our Director of Business Development, and our CEO. You’ll start by sourcing new accounts and handing them to our operations team to manage. As you demonstrate results, you’ll earn the opportunity to manage accounts yourself at higher commission rates.
What You’ll Do:
- Make outbound calls to shippers across target industries
- Qualify prospects, book discovery conversations, and advance opportunities through pipeline
- Get fluent in how freight is priced, quoted, and moved using Turvo (TMS), HubSpot (CRM), and DATBuild and manage your pipeline in HubSpotJoin leadership on customer calls and contribute to closing deals
- Hit daily activity targets and own your ramp
What We’re Looking For:
- 2+ years of business development or sales experience, with a track record of outbound prospecting and pipeline generation
- Comfortable on the phone and willing to make a high volume of calls every day
- Coachable, competitive, and self-motivated
- Clear communicator, in writing and on the phone
- Able to handle rejection and keep momentum
Bachelor’s degree preferred, not required. We hire on attitude, work ethic, and results over pedigree.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
