LTL Cross Dock Access Gate Guard

$47.84k
Full-time

Advatix, Inc.

LTL Cross Dock Access Guard

HRforGrowth® is engaged as the exclusive talent acquisition partner to conduct this search on behalf of a client organization that is hiring for this role. HRforGrowth is not the employer for this position. HRforGrowth identifies, evaluates, and presents top-tier candidates through its global talent acquisition practice; all employment decisions — including final selection, offer terms, compensation, and conditions of employment — are made solely by the hiring organization.

Position Summary

The LTL Cross Dock Access Guard serves as the primary point of control for all inbound and outbound traffic entering and exiting a high-volume LTL cross-dock campus. This position is responsible for managing gate operations across a six-acre transportation and distribution facility, ensuring the secure, compliant, and efficient movement of tractors, trailers, employees, visitors, and contractors.

Unlike a traditional security guard role, this position functions as an operational partner to site leadership, transportation teams, and warehouse operations. The successful candidate will utilize technology, critical thinking, and professional judgment to mitigate risks, maintain security standards, ensure regulatory compliance, and support uninterrupted logistics operations. This role combines security oversight, transportation coordination, customer service, and access control administration.

  • Monitor yard activity and escalate issues impacting service levels or operational efficiency.
  • Assist with carrier compliance verification and transportation documentation review.

  • Identify and report suspicious activity, unauthorized access attempts, or policy violations.
  • Initiate incident reporting and documentation procedures for safety, security, and operational events.
  • Support loss prevention initiatives and facility security audits.
Compliance & Documentation
  • Maintain accurate electronic records of all gate transactions, vehicle movement, and visitor activity.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, customer requirements, and transportation security procedures.
  • Prepare daily gate activity reports and communicate operational observations to management.
  • Track and document security incidents, trailer discrepancies, seal violations, and unauthorized access events.
Customer & Driver Relations
  • Serve as the first point of contact for drivers, visitors, carriers, customers, and vendors entering the facility.
  • Provide professional direction and assistance while maintaining a strong customer-service mindset.
  • Resolve routine gate access issues and escalate exceptions when required.
  • Maintain positive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
Emergency Response & Incident Management
  • Respond to security, safety, and facility-related incidents in accordance with established procedures.
  • Coordinate with management and emergency responders when necessary.
  • Support business continuity efforts during operational disruptions.
  • Maintain situational awareness of all activities occurring at the facility entrance and surrounding yard areas.
Qualifications
Required
  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in logistics, transportation, access control, security operations, dispatching, warehouse operations, military, law enforcement support, or related fields.
  • Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office, web-based Payroll system.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
  • Ability to work independently with limited supervision.
