About the job

Logistics Sales Development Representative 

QQR Logistics | Cincinnati, OH (U.S.) — Onsite Only 

Company Description 

QQR Logistics keeps critical freight moving for supply chains that can't afford to stop. We combine QQR Transport's owned asset fleet, large fully vetted dedicated carrier pool, and 3PL brokerage capacity — giving shippers contract, dedicated, and surge spot capacity. QQR delivers unmatched disciplined execution, and one accountable, loyal team focused on service, security, and safety. QQR moves freight across North America — including cross border Canada and Mexico — for mission-critical supply chains in automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aerospace, energy, and more. QQR's core strengths are in the FTL verticals of dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, specialized flatbed, tanker and specialized petrochemicals, and gas transportation — and expedite shipping for customer critical shipments through expedited Sprinter van and Box trucks.

Role Overview 

This is an entry-level, in-office role built for competitive, driven people who want to launch a long-term career in logistics sales. You don't need industry experience — you need grit, coachability, and the motivation to win. At QQR you'll get hands-on training, mentorship, and the tools to learn the business from the ground up while helping customers solve real supply chain challenges.

• Long-term stability with a growing logistics company where you're given the independence to make an impact 

What You'll Do 

• Prospect and build a pipeline of business-development leads through outbound calls, emails, networking, and outreach. 
• Support a pod of three to four Logistics Sales Representatives — typically two junior reps and one senior rep — targeting and multi-threading opportunities together. 
• Build a network of nurture communication and outreach around your targeted prospects. 
• Lead discovery conversations to understand customer needs and position QQR's solutions. 
• Qualify opportunities and pass them to your pod's reps to advance and close.
