Skip the gym. Move freight instead. We’re looking for Freight Handlers who love being super active. At Roadrunner, you’ll help keep freight moving safely, efficiently, and on time in a fast-paced environment where hard work matters. The Freight Handler is a mission‐critical contributor to our Operations team, ensuring freight moves through our network with precision, speed, and zero compromise to safety or quality. As our Smart NetworkTM continues to scale nationwide, the reliability of our dock operations directly impacts transit performance, customer satisfaction, and the integrity of our long‐haul model. This role exists to keep freight flowing efficiently through the Nashville service center—executing high‐accuracy loading, unloading, tagging, and movement of shipments that power our metro‐to‐metro network.

Maintain dock flow and operational readiness*** Transport freight between dock areas, trailers, and designated storage zones.* Keep work areas clean, organized, and free of hazards to support continuous flow.* Assist machine operators and cross functional teams as needed.* Support proactive efforts to meet service center throughput and quality goals. ## **4. Support cross‐functional coordination*** Communicate effectively with operations leadership and dock supervisors.* Surface issues, delays, or safety concerns with clarity and urgency.* Collaborate with team members to maintain a high performance dock environment.* Demonstrate sound judgment when navigating ambiguous or fast changing situations. ## **5. Uphold safety, accuracy, and performance standards*** Prioritize tasks to meet operational timelines without sacrificing quality.* Manage multiple assignments simultaneously in a high velocity environment.* Ensure all freight is handled in alignment with company standards and regulatory requirements.* Contribute to a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.# **What you bring*** High school diploma or GED required.* 1–3 months of related experience or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.* Ability to read and interpret safety rules, operating instructions, and procedure manuals.* Strong written and verbal communication skills.* Forklift driver qualification required.* Hazardous Material Training preferred.* Ability to perform basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.* Experience in freight, logistics, warehouse, or LTL environments is a plus.* Proven ability to prioritize, multitask, and maintain composure in a fast paced setting.# **How you operate*** You think in systems, not tasks.* You take ownership of outcomes, not just activity.* You move with urgency while maintaining accuracy and safety.* You communicate clearly, directly, and respectfully.* You adapt quickly when priorities shift.* You solve problems with sound judgment, even when structure is limited.* You support your team and contribute to a high performance culture. # **About Roadrunner** We’re not just moving freight; we’re reimagining long-haul shipping. Our Smart NetworkTM offers more direct long-haul metro-to-metro routes than any other nationwide LTL carrier in the United States, with service extending into Canada and Mexico and terminals across 40+ metro markets. Powered by AI and machine learning, our operations platform ensures real-time tracking, custodial control, and full shipment visibility. With driver teams executing over-the-road (OTR) moves — and no freight moving on rail — customers experience industry-leading transit times, minimal rehandling, and dramatically reduced risk of loss or damage. Our 900+ owner-operators benefit from scheduled freight, fewer touches by design, consistent long-haul density, and a differentiated metro-to-metro model that creates predictable earning opportunities. This precision and performance have earned Roadrunner national recognition by over 3,000 shippers, and was ranked this year #1 in Operations, #1 in Technology, and #1 in Value in the Quest for Quality Awards, as well as honors as a Top 100 Trucking Company by Inbound Logistics and a Top Tier Service Carrier by Mastio. We’re growing fast. Roadrunner is building something special with great people, a winning culture and a differentiated service offering in the marketplace.

We Run Together.** # **Compensation & Setup*** **Pay:** $18.50 per hour* **Incentives:** Performance recognition programs and bonuses where applicable.* **Location:** Onsite – Commerce, CA* **Benefits:** Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off# # **Physical Demands and Work Environment**The physical demands and work environment described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this position.
