Move the Modern Supply Chain Forward with Allen Lund Company

Freight doesn't stand still, and neither do we. Founded in 1976 on a handshake and $1,000, Allen Lund Company (ALC) has evolved into an industry powerhouse with 40+ offices nationwide and over $1 billion in managed freight.

Here, you aren't just booking trucks—you’re navigating a dynamic, fast-moving market, building your own book of business, and leveraging the latest logistics tech to outsmart supply chain bottlenecks. Our culture is built on autonomy, relentless drive, and long-term reward: over 50% of our team has been with ALC for more than a decade, sharing directly in our success through company ownership.

What You Get

  • Real Earning Potential: Competitive base salary paired with uncapped, performance-driven incentives.
  • True Ownership: Participation in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)—grow the company, build your wealth.
  • Top-Tier Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision packages designed for you and your family.
  • Future Security: 401(k) with a generous company match.
  • Career Trajectory: Clear pathways for upward mobility, leadership, and nationwide office transfers.

The Role

As a Carrier Procurement Specialist, you operate at the center of the action. You will negotiate spot-market pricing, hunt for capacity, and leverage predictive tools and AI-driven market intelligence to make real-time decisions that move essential goods across North America.

What You’ll Drive

High-Stakes Sourcing & Relationship Building

  • Build Your Network: Hunt for, onboard, and forge lasting relationships with quality motor carriers across North America.
  • Win the Lane: Understand carrier networks, equipment specs, and preferred corridors to match capacity seamlessly with high-volume freight.
  • Maximize Partner Value: Re-engage inactive carriers, optimize fleet utilization, and position ALC as their primary freight partner of choice.

Smart Pricing & Tech-Driven Strategy

  • Command the Market: Leverage internal pricing models, freight indices, and AI-enabled rate forecasting to accurately read supply/demand shifts and out-negotiate the spot market.
  • Automate the Grunt Work: Use automated digital booking platforms, carrier mobile apps, and load-matching tech to streamline execution so you can focus on driving volume.
  • Protect the Margin: Balance sharp pricing for shippers with competitive payouts that keep high-performing carriers loyal to your board.

Flawless Operational Execution

  • Drive In-Transit Excellence: Utilize automated tracking integrations and structured check-ins to safeguard on-time pickup and delivery performance.
  • Own the Solution: Tackle exceptions head-on—rerouting, cross-docking, or troubleshooting disruptions in real time before they hit the customer.
  • Ensure Seamless Cash Flow: Support carriers with quick-pay setups, accessorial validation, and swift dispute resolution to keep wheels turning.

What You Bring

  • The Experience: 2+ years in freight brokerage, carrier sales, or fast-paced 3PL logistics operations.
  • Tech Fluency: Experience with modern TMS platforms, load boards, and a readiness to adopt automated booking and AI rate-intelligence tools.
  • The Edge: A sharp negotiator who thrives in a high-energy trading-floor environment and stays composed under pressure.
  • Clear Communication: Fast, direct, and persuasive verbal and written communication skills.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent hard-earned industry experience.
