Monitor driver Hours of Service and DOT rules so every plan is compliant
Handle delays, breakdowns and service failures in real time, with a backup plan ready
Keep accurate load, carrier and billing records in the TMS

What You Bring

2–5 years in logistics, with time-critical 3PL brokerage experience
Hands-on background in ground transportation or asset-based trucking operations
Proven dispatch, load planning and carrier management experience
Experience coordinating specialized equipment
Working knowledge of transportation vehicle types and what each can haul
