Responsibilities

Source, qualify, and secure truckload capacity across assigned lanes and markets.
Build long-term relationships with reliable carriers and develop primary and backup capacity within key markets.
Follow all carrier onboarding, vetting, verification, and approval procedures before tendering freight.
Use our TMS, carrier-vetting platforms, load boards, tracking tools, and market data to select carriers and execute shipments.
Verify the carrier, driver, and equipment assigned to each load and immediately escalate discrepancies or signs of fraud, double brokering, or cargo theft risk.
Negotiate competitive carrier rates while protecting service requirements and margin expectations.
Build and maintain routing guides based on carrier performance, pricing, lane preference, and equipment availability.
Provide complete load instructions, monitor shipments through delivery, communicate exceptions early, and maintain accurate documentation in the TMS.
