Senior Transportation Sales Executive – Flatbed, Heavy Haul & Specialized Equipment

You've already proven you can sell specialized transportation. We're looking for someone who understands the complexity of flatbed, heavy haul, over-dimensional freight, project cargo, and transloading-and wants a stronger platform behind the business they've built. The Opportunity Freight Partners Group (FPG) is hiring a proven transportation sales producer with demonstrated experience selling flatbed, step deck, heavy haul, oversized/over-dimensional freight, specialized transportation, project cargo, and/or transloading services. This is not an entry-level sales position and is not intended for someone looking to transition out of operations into sales. We are looking for someone who can demonstrate historical gross profit (GP), leverage an established network of shipper relationships, and consistently develop new, profitable specialized transportation business. Candidates with a portable book of business involving manufacturers, machinery and equipment companies, importers, exporters, freight forwarders, NVOCCs, construction-related businesses, industrial customers, or project cargo shippers are strongly preferred. This is a true sales-focused role. You focus on prospecting, customer relationships, closing new business, expanding existing accounts, and developing specialized transportation opportunities. Our operations, pricing, and carrier teams support the execution of the freight, including carrier sourcing, pricing, dispatch, tracking, and day-to-day shipment management.
