Transportation Manager

Company Overview

Position Summary

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and schedule cross-market and intra-market vehicle shipments to meet inventory and delivery timelines
• Select the best carrier for each shipment by balancing price, on-time performance, and carrier availability

• Monitor active shipments end to end to ensure vehicles are picked up and delivered on schedule
• Proactively identify at-risk moves and intervene before they become delays
• Maintain accurate, real-time shipment status and communicate updates to affected teams

• Partner with market-level operations teams to triage and resolve shipment exceptions — delays, damage, missed pickups, and rescheduling
• Drive root-cause resolution and close the loop so issues don’t recur
• Serve as the escalation point between carriers and the field

• Verify that carrier invoices match agreed rates and completed moves before approval
• Reconcile billing discrepancies and prevent overcharges and duplicate charges
• Maintain accurate shipment and cost records in company systems

• Own Flexcar’s carrier relationships, from onboarding through ongoing management
• Define and track carrier performance against on-time, cost, damage, and availability metrics
• Conduct regular business reviews, hold carriers accountable to standards, and expand or reduce the network based on performance

What We’re Looking For

• A hard worker who takes ownership and follows through, especially when a shipment is at risk
• Strong attention to detail — you catch the discrepancy in an invoice or a delivery window before it becomes a problem
• Excellent communication and people skills, with the ability to build trust with carriers and partner smoothly across market operations teams
• An analytical mindset and the willingness to build that muscle — comfortable working with numbers, spreadsheets, and data to make and defend decisions
• Highly organized, able to juggle many moving shipments at once without losing track
• Thrives in a fast-paced, multi-market environment and stays calm under pressure

Nice to Have

• Experience in logistics, transportation, supply chain, or vehicle/auto-transport
• Experience selecting, negotiating with, or managing third-party carriers or vendors
• Familiarity with transportation management systems (TMS), load boards, or shipment-tracking tools
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience

What tops off the Tank

• Flexible PTO policy
• 401(k) with company match from day one
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting immediately
• Employee discounts on Flexcar services with no annual membership fee
• Weekly pay
