Nobody envies the work.
Everybody envies the reward.
WLX | WLE is hiring its next class of Business Development Managers. No sales experience. No logistics background. Paid training, a base salary that transitions into commission with no ceiling — in the heart of Kansas City.
NEXT ACADEMY CLASS STARTS MID-AUGUST — 10 SEATS OPEN
We don't hire brokers.
We build them.
Learn the industry
Paid classroom training: how freight moves, how brokers make money, how to price a load, and the sales process we run every day.
Ride shotgun
Shadow senior BDMs on live calls and real loads. Make your first dials with a coach on the line and feedback the same hour.
Take the desk
Your own desk, your own prospect list, your own book. Base salary protects you while your commission engine spins up.
Cohorts start together. Train together. Compete forever.
This job is a trade.
Here are both sides.
What it costs
- High-volume phone work — dozens of calls, every single day
- Early mornings and late nights when your book demands it
- Hearing "no" far more often than "yes," especially at first
- A scoreboard everyone can see — including on your bad weeks
What it pays
- Income tied to your effort, not your tenure or your title
- A book of business that is yours and compounds every year
- A skill set — professional selling — that never stops being valuable
- Be part of a team that cares about each other and the results we're driving
- President's Club: our top BDMs earn an annual trip — winner plus one, all expenses paid
Your paycheck keeps score
Full benefits ride along: medical · dental · vision · 401(k) · PTO
Six values.
Zero posters we don't live by.
Others First
Selfless actions for the good of: 1) Mission, 2) Team, 3) Individual, 4) Community.
Absolute Ownership
We are responsible for everything we touch. No victims, no excuses.
Open and Honest
We are transparent in all we do with everyone we communicate with.
Results Driven
We approach every task with the mission in mind and a focus on outcomes.
Continuous Improvement
Obsess about improving self, teammate, business and customer every day.
Get Weird
No problem too small. No idea too strange. No opportunity to be content.
We recruit like a team,
because we are one.
The Athlete
You've kept score your whole life. You know what practice at 6 AM buys you. This is the job where that wiring finally pays literal dividends.
The Grinder
Bartender, trainer, server, door-knocker — you already out-hustle everyone around you. Bring that motor somewhere with no ceiling.
The Homecoming
You grew up in KC or graduated nearby, and you've been waiting for a reason to come back. Here's a career, not just a reason.
Crown Center offices.
A view of downtown. A floor with a pulse.
Top BDMs earn the trip. Every year.
Our annual President's Club rewards top producers with an all-expenses-paid trip — you and a plus-one, on us. These shots are from this year's trip. Earn your seat at the next one.
Bet on yourself.
Applications take five minutes. Strong candidates hear from us within 48 hours — and can be on the floor with the next cohort.
