Freight Sales Representative (1099) — Jacksonville
Confidential - Freight Forwarding Company
Jacksonville, FL (remote through end of Q2 2026, in-office at JAX terminal starting Q3 2026 — MANDATORY)
About This Role
# Freight Sales Representative (1099) — Roam Logistics · Jacksonville
Roam Logistics is a relationship-driven freight broker built around white-glove, temperature-controlled, and specialized freight. We're not a commodity-rate shop — we win on service, communication, and the kind of hands-on relationships that get a phone call answered at 10pm when something goes sideways on a high-value load.
We're expanding our footprint with a new Jacksonville terminal, and we're hiring the founding team for that office.
## Deal Structure
This is a **straight-commission 1099 contractor role** — independent contractor working under Roam's MC, credit line, and operational infrastructure, compensated 100% on commission of GP you generate. No base salary, no draw. **No equity, no agency banner buy-in, no franchise vesting** — this is sales, not ownership.
## Who This Is For
The right candidate is a freight sales rep with at least a partial portable book of business, a non-compete that's clear or close to it, and the confidence to run on commission-only with a small specialized broker that pays out aggressively when you hit your numbers. JAX-based.
## What You'll Do
- **Run your own desk.** Pick your accounts, build your pipeline, quote and close. Roam's ops team handles dispatch, claims, settlements; you handle the relationship and the revenue.
- **Specialize in Roam's lanes.** White-glove, temp-controlled, and specialized freight is where we win and where the commission math works. If you're a commodity dry-van rate seller, this isn't the right deal for you.
- **Cold-call and consultatively sell.** Roam customers buy on service quality, not on the cheapest rate. Your pitch is about reducing OS&D, hitting tight delivery windows, and managing high-value cargo correctly.
## What You Bring
**Required:**
- 3+ years in freight brokerage sales with documented GP track record
- **Portable book** — even partial — with named shipper relationships
- Non-compete / non-solicit clear or near-clear before start
- Self-funded ramp tolerance — you're a 1099, you'll go a few weeks without significant comp at the start as you bring accounts over
- White-glove, temp-controlled, or specialized freight background (NOT pure commodity van/dry)
**Would NOT fit:**
- Commodity TL/LTL reps with no portable book
- W2 reps who want a base salary (apply for the W2 version of this role instead)
- Anyone confused about the difference between a 1099 sales contract and an equity ownership deal — this is the former
## Compensation
- **100% commission, no base.** Aggressive split on GP — bring the relationships, keep more of what you produce
- 1099 contractor — you handle your own taxes, benefits, expenses
- Backed by Roam's MC, credit line, dispatch, and back-office infrastructure
- No earnings cap — your ceiling is what you build
## Location & Work Arrangement (Mandatory)
- **Jacksonville, FL** — this role is JAX-based, non-negotiable. Candidates outside the JAX metro will not be considered.
- **Remote-first launch**: work from home through the end of Q2 2026 (June 30, 2026) while we build out the JAX terminal infrastructure.
- **In-office from Q3 2026 onward**: starting July 1, 2026, daily work happens at our JAX terminal. This is not a long-term remote role.
