Recruiting and consulting for freight brokers and transportation professionals
Journey operates as a recruiting and consulting firm focused on the freight brokerage sector. The company is in rapid sales hiring mode—13 of 14 active roles are sales positions across director, senior, and manager levels—while simultaneously executing on lane consolidation, capacity procurement, and new customer acquisition. The tech stack is lean (Office 365, HubSpot, QuickBooks, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn) and optimized for direct sales execution rather than backend infrastructure, consistent with a services-first model built on personal relationships and domain expertise.
Journey provides recruiting, consulting, and training services to freight brokers and transportation logistics companies. Founded in 2023 and based in Chicago, the company positions itself as a resource for both talent placement within brokerage operations and advisory support on sales strategy, capacity sourcing, and lane optimization. The firm operates across three service lines: recruiting brokers and logistics professionals; consulting on strategic sales plans, procurement, and margin improvement; and training to develop junior sales talent. Current focus areas include scaling sales teams, building new office operations, and expanding customer relationships in specialized freight segments such as heavy haul and over-dimensional freight.
Journey uses Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams), HubSpot for CRM, ZoomList for lead intelligence, LinkedIn, QuickBooks for accounting, Workday for HR, and Zoom for video. The stack reflects a sales-operations model without custom engineering infrastructure.
Customer acquisition, wallet expansion, margin consistency, and reliable capacity sourcing are top operational priorities. The company is also working to improve accounting system efficiency and maintain local market stability while scaling.
