• Grow initial wins into larger multimodal and managed transportation relationships.
• Comfortable selling multimodal solutions — FTL, LTL, drayage, intermodal and managed transportation.

• Thrives as a senior individual contributor; does not need to build or manage a large sales organization to be effective.

• A strong reputation and credibility within the industry.
• Freedom to pursue those relationships: no non-solicit or non-compete that would block you from working your network.
