Transam Carriers is a Toronto-based asset carrier with 120+ trucks, specializing in cross-border LTL and truckload into the US and back, along with our own customs desk and a cross-dock in Concord. We are rebuilding the sales function and are looking for someone to lead this initiative.
What you would own:
- Building and leading the sales team — hiring reps, setting territory and account coverage, running the cadence.
- Turning our existing customer and lead data into a working pipeline.
- Setting the standard for what a good week looks like — calls, meetings, quotes out, loads booked.
- Owning the number: new shipper revenue and margin, not just activity.
- Working alongside dispatch to ensure that sales promises align with operational capabilities.
What we are looking for:
- You have led freight or logistics salespeople before, or you have been the top rep and are ready to build the team you wish you'd had.
- You understand asset-based carrier economics — that a load is only good if the truck's next move is good.
- You can sell yourself in front of a shipper this quarter; this role is not just about management.
- Cross-border experience is a real advantage: customs, bonded freight, and understanding lane profitability.
What we offer:
- A carrier with its own trucks, customs desk, and dock — you are selling capacity we control, not brokered promises.
- 20+ years of operating history and an existing customer base to build from.
- Direct line to ownership; decisions get made in days, not quarters.
- Based at our Concord terminal.
How we hire:
- We use an AI phone screen for the first conversation on some roles — you will be informed beforehand, and a person makes every hiring decision.
Pay: Depends on qualification for Canada / US cross-border lanes.
