Carrier Sales Intern

Now Interviewing Carrier Sales Interns for Summer 2026!

BlueGrace Logistics is one of the fastest growing transportation management companies in the US. Headquartered in Tampa, FL with six offices throughout the US and one recent expansion in Mexico. We help businesses better understand and optimize their supply chain by combining predictive analytics with advanced technology while empowering top talent who share our core values. Kickstart your sales career with a summer internship in carrier sales! Our program is perfect for those who are self-starters, motivated, and ready to kick off their sales career. Take the leap and join a team where hard work meets limitless growth.

Are you gritty, hungry, and determined to make your mark in a fast-paced rewarding industry? As a Carrier Sales Intern, you'll be part of a dynamic environment that pushes your limits, challenges you to excel, and empowers you to carve your own path to success. In this role, you'll cultivate relationships with truckload carriers, negotiate rates, and ensure freight moves seamlessly from point A to B.

What We're Looking For :

  • Current students with an expected graduation date by May 2027
  • Gritty, highly motivated self-starter with a relentless drive to succeed
  • Outstanding communicator, strong negotiator and the ability to connect with people
  • Sales experience is a plus, but not required. We want people eager for results!
  • Willing to work on-site and full-time throughout the summer
  • Determination to outwork your peers. If a strong work ethic doesn't come easily, this might not be the right position for you
  • Confident ability to build relationships and establish rapport with clients, peers, and leaders
  • Proactive decision-making, issue resolution ability, and problem-solving skills
  • Self-motivation, strong work ethic, with an entrepreneurial and competitive spirit
  • Resilience and persistence with the ability to maintain composure in stressful conditions
  • Adaptability with a sense of urgency in a fast-paced environment

What You'll Do :

  • Make 85 cold calls to truckload carriers to fulfill shipping commitments
  • Negotiate rates with carriers and book loads
  • Focus on building new relationships as you build your own carrier portfolio
  • Provide top notch service to partner carriers and internal stakeholders while being rewarded for exceeding metrics such as outbound calls, loads moved and automation targets
  • Resolve service failures in an industry where chaos is bound to occur
  • What's in it for you?

  • Immersive, Hands-On Experience : You'll actually get to do the job just like you would as a full-time Carrier Sales Representative. In this highly performance-based role, you'll be rewarded with the ability to earn uncapped commission potential in addition to a competitive compensation
  • Professional Development : Participate in bi-weekly development sessions to sharpen your skills in communication, networking and sales
  • An award-winning company culture : Experience unique perks including exposure to business resource groups, executive networking, office culture events and "Thank You" lunch provided on Fridays
  • Mentor Program : Partner with an experienced mentor who you'll work with directly throughout your first few weeks, providing valuable feedback and insight into the logistics industry
  • Access to Technology : In this role you will get access to work in three of our proprietary technologies
  • Introduction to Performance Management : You'll get real feedback through a performance appraisal that will evaluate your performance using KPIs like on-time deliveries, proactive tracking and outbound calls
  • Create a job alert for this search
