Full Job Description

Build Carrier Networks That Keep Freight Moving
CRST The Transportation Solution is seeking a Freight Broker to source, develop, and manage third-party carrier relationships within our Integrated Solutions brokerage operation. This role is built for someone who is hungry to compete, loves building relationships, and is motivated by performance and results.

No freight experience required — just the drive to win and the work ethic to back it up.

How You’ll Work

Location: Cedar Rapids, IA
Compensation: We offer a competitive base salary that will be discussed with candidates during the interview process.
Incentive: Your earning potential doesn't stop at your base. A commission plan tied to real performance metrics means your results directly drive your paycheck
Benefits: Comprehensive package including medical, dental, and vision coverage; prescription drug and telemedicine services; company-paid life and disability insurance; retirement savings with company match; paid time off, holidays, and parental leave; plus additional voluntary benefits and employee discounts.

About the Role
As a Freight Broker on the Integrated Solutions team, you’ll source and onboard third-party carriers, execute loads across our brokerage network, and grow margin through strong carrier relationships and smart market decisions. You’ll work closely with customer service teams to make sure the right capacity is in the right place — every day, every load.

We’ll teach you the freight. You bring the fire.

What You’ll Do

Source, onboard, and manage third-party carriers across our brokerage network
Assign carriers to loads using CRST’s TMS and digital freight tools, ensuring timely pickup and delivery
Negotiate carrier rates while protecting required margin thresholds
Resolve in-transit service issues and keep internal teams informed on shipment status
Provide carrier coverage support for teammates across regions when needed
Stay current on carrier market trends, rate fluctuations, and capacity shifts
Build lasting partnerships with dispatchers, drivers, and carrier owners to drive repeat business
Track KPIs including carrier utilization, margin performance, and on-time delivery
Partner with customer service teams to align capacity with shipper expectations

What Great Looks Like

Strong carrier network: You’ve built relationships that carriers want to maintain — and that show up when capacity is tight
Margin discipline: You negotiate with purpose and protect the numbers that matter
Market awareness: You know what’s moving across modes and use that knowledge to stay ahead
Execution: Loads covered, communication clear, service issues handled before they escalate
Reliability: Your teammates and customers know they can count on you

What You Bring

A competitive mindset and the drive to hit goals and outperform
Strong people skills — you’re comfortable picking up the phone and building rapport quickly
Clear, confident communication and the ability to negotiate and persuade
A self-starter mentality — you don’t wait to be told what to do next
Coachability and a genuine desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

A four-year degree, or equivalent experience in a sales, customer service, or competitive environment
Prior experience in a role where you were measured on performance — sports, sales, recruiting, or similar
Comfort with technology and the ability to learn new systems quickly

Why CRST?
CRST is celebrating 70 years of grit, growth, and forward momentum — a legacy built on safety, integrity, and delivering on our commitments. Our Integrated Solutions team plays a key role in keeping freight moving efficiently across the country.

At CRST, you’ll have the tools, the training, and the support to build a real career from day one.
