For many experienced professionals in the bulk freight world, the hardest part of the job isn’t selling freight, it’s everything else that comes with it.
Internal meetings. Corporate sales quotas that reset every year. Limited control over pricing, customers, or time. And often, a commission structure that doesn’t fully reflect the value of the industry relationships you’ve cultivated and maintained.
But what if there were a way to focus exclusively on what you do best — relationships and revenue — while someone else handles the operational heavy lifting?
That’s the idea behind becoming a Bulk Freight Sales Agent with Bulk Connection.
A Sales Role Designed for Industry Veterans
This is not a junior sales role and it’s not designed for people new to logistics.
Bulk Connection is specifically seeking experienced bulk freight sales professionals (whether liquid or dry bulk freight) who already understand how the market works and have spent years building trust with shippers.
Ideal candidates bring:
- Hands-on bulk freight sales experience, including chemical, food-grade, or industrial commodities
- An active book of shipper relationships
- Working knowledge of bulk-specific requirements, such as tank types, equipment, washouts, product compatibility, and safety considerations
This role is built for people who already know how bulk freight moves and want a platform that respects that experience.
Sell Freight. Skip the Back Office.
One of the biggest frustrations for seasoned sales professionals is how much time gets pulled away from selling.
Bulk Connection intentionally separates responsibilities so agents can stay focused on revenue generation and customer relationships.
As a Bulk Freight Sales Agent, you concentrate on:
- Developing and maintaining direct shipper relationships
- Identifying profitable bulk freight opportunities
- Matching customer needs with Bulk Connection’s carrier network
Meanwhile, Bulk Connection’s internal team handles:
- Dispatch and load execution, including real-time coordination
- Carrier vetting and sourcing, and the management of carrier records
- Billing, credit, and administrative support
- 24/7 operational coverage, so customers are never left without support
You gain the benefit of a fully staffed brokerage operation – without having to manage one.
Commission-Based Income with No Ceiling
This is a commission-only, independent-agent role for experienced sales professionals.
The role allows for:
- Uncapped earning potential, directly tied to the freight you bring in
- No limits on accounts, lanes, or volumes
- No changing compensation plans
Your income scales with your activity and your relationships. If you have strong customer loyalty and consistent freight, the upside can significantly exceed traditional salaried sales roles.
Perfect for Retirees
While teaching, retail, or administrative jobs can be a good fit for many retirees, they often require starting over in unfamiliar environments. By contrast, becoming a Bulk Freight Sales Agent allows you to:
- Stay relevant in the logistics sector.
- Make a meaningful impact for shippers that need trusted, experienced partners.
- Enjoy the freedom to scale your involvement up or down depending on your lifestyle.
This makes the role well suited for professionals who are:
- Retired or semi-retired but still active in the industry
- Transitioning out of full-time corporate roles
- Looking to monetize existing relationships without rebuilding infrastructure
You stay active in the bulk freight market — on your terms.
Remote, Flexible, and Built Around Your Schedule
The Agent role was designed with flexibility in mind — without sacrificing professionalism or credibility.
As an independent agent, you:
- Work remotely from anywhere
- Set your own schedule and workload
- Decide how aggressively you want to grow your book of business
