About Dayton Freight

Dayton Freight is a privately owned, union-free less-than-truckload carrier headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, moving freight through its own service centers from Minnesota and the Dakotas to Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia, and handing longer lanes to partner carriers and truckload loads to an affiliate. Its core seller is the territory account manager attached to a service center: the rep plans the territory, hunts new shippers, negotiates rates, visits customers on site, runs business reviews and works with the dock and operations team to keep service on time. A separate corporate account manager seat, hybrid with regular customer travel, is posted across New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and is open only to people with years of corporate account sales in LTL. New graduates come in through a sales management trainee program, a paid stretch of several months working the operation on rotating dock shifts before moving into a sales role, with relocation to any service center required. Territory postings ask for a business degree or several years of sales experience, a driver's license and knowledge of the local market, with LTL experience preferred, and the openings are in the US.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Dayton Freight pays weekly, and how much a posting says depends on the seat.
