• Track shipments, resolve issues in real time, and prevent service failures before they happen
• Collaborate closely with sales to support customer growth and execution
• Maintain accurate load data, tracking, and documentation within TMS systems
• Ensure compliance with  DOT, safety, and internal operating standards

What You Bring

• 1–3+ years of  freight brokerage, carrier sales, or operations experience
• Proven ability to  cover loads consistently in competitive markets
• Strong negotiation skills with a clear understanding of  market rates and margin impact
• High sense of urgency, ownership mindset, and ability to execute under pressure
• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple loads simultaneously
• Effective communicator with both carriers and internal teams
