  8. Monitor market trends to anticipate capacity needs and pricing shifts

  9. Support additional operations-related tasks as directed by leadership

What Makes You a Fit:

  2. Strategic thinking with a problem-solving mindset

  3. High sense of urgency and personal accountability

  4. Excellent verbal and written communication

  6. Coachable, collaborative, and adaptable in a dynamic environment

  7. Tech-savvy and proficient in Microsoft Office and TMS platforms

  1. High school diploma or GED required; associate’s or bachelor’s degree preferred

  2. 1–2 years of experience in logistics, freight brokerage, or carrier sales is a plus

  3. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines

  4. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written

  5. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail when updating load info, tracking progress, and entering carrier data
