This position exists to ensure freight flows without disruption, operational data remains accurate in real time, and cross-functional teams are aligned on execution.

This role directly mitigates those risks by owning load visibility, coordinating with multiple internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring operational systems reflect ground truth. Success in this role means shipments move predictably, exceptions are identified and escalated early, and the service center operates with precision, accountability, and minimal rework.

- Collect and route maintenance records to Safety to ensure compliance standards are met
- Manifest inbound and outbound freight, ensuring documentation accuracy across systems
- File and maintain exception reports and operational records
Support Delivery Execution And Customer Commitments
- Schedule delivery appointments, including direct deliveries and diverts
- Coordinate redeliveries and obtain ACR (Additional Charge Request) authorization
- Enter ACRs into systems with precision to ensure financial and operational alignment
- Partner with brokers to secure rates for non-service point returns
Resolve Operational Exceptions And Improve Throughput

- Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to resolve delivery disruptions
