How do you become a pilot of a Freighter???

Hi everyone!

I have aspirations to become a commercial pilot but more accurately a pilot flying freight rather than passengers! I do know how to get into the airline "business" but how do they take on freight pilots??? Do they recruit pilots who have a lot of experience on type or can you go from flying a 737 say to flying a 757-SF. Any part sponsored schemes? How does it work???? Responses from any cargo pilots really appreciated and for any advice given from people who have knowledge on the subject.
Thank You
William
