Hey guyss ! So I’m a freight broker for a start-up company making 50k base with a $800 bonus every month. My numbers are great , and I always hit my quotas , but I can’t help but to feel like I’m being taken advantage of. Do you guys know of any other companies that are in the same or similar industry that pays more. The benefits are more than fine but I don’t make commission and it behooves me how I make the company an extra 10-20k a week but don’t see anything off it really.

Look at where I work, and believe me when I tell you, don’t do that. If you don’t have shipper sales experience before starting you are going to have a very hard time succeeding.

Just for reference at our company - somebody generating around $20k per week in margin (cost to the customer - cost to the truck) is going to be making about $10k/month in commission with a $45-$60k base

I have friends in the industry still if you want referrals… where are you located?

Are your skills / effectiveness tied to industry knowledge i.e. you know stuff about freight booking that helps you be effective or are you just a good sales guy? If the latter probably look more broadly there’s all sorts of commission driven sales positions out there in different industries for different products / service. E.g in the tech space you might play well in the MSS cyber market for SMEs or something like that

Interview elsewhere and ask about comp structure during your interview. You aren’t being taken advantage of if they are following the structure they laid out. I used to work at enterprise and know all too well about crap comp

Damn, that’s rough. If you’re a top producer, you can keep adding to your numbers to resume and make a move. No commish is brutal, but if they don’t plan on changing the comp plan, there’s not many options at that point, you know?

I’m in the same boat. Been a top producer with zero commission. When I ask leadership, all they say is “you’re on salary for a reason.” Which, quite honestly, makes no sense at all and sounds like excuses.

like

Sounds massively under paid considering the profits these guys are taking now a days. I would network and see what average pay looks like in the field.

Yea they are taking advantage of everyone. Worked as a carrier sales rep at Werner and our bonus structure was better than that and Werner was honesty low compared to the rest of the industry

I'm also a broker make 35% of profit on any new accounts brought in, and 25% on any existing accounts. Straight commission no salary. I just got 2 buddies a job at a different brokerage and it's 40k base and 35% commission on any accounts they bring in. Your pay structure sounds way off of industry standard.

Seems to be the trend, logistics have slim margins as is. I’m around that number compensation wise... Trying to switch industries with larger margins after a year in my current role

Whew I would have an evidence based conversation showing your exceptional numbers but also start looking because a competitive offer can be leveraged

Your commission should be a percentage of the deals you close, not a flat $800! Try to negotiate that

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested in a better long term career opportunity

I'm interested
