About The Position

The main purpose of this position is to ensure the effective utilization and logistical planning of Star Fleet team-driver capacity across assigned territories and priority corridors, working closely with the Network Fleet Manager, Network Fleet Supervisor, District Product Teams, and Service Providers. The Analyst role is responsible for the day to day management of dedicated team-driver capacity as a reusable network asset — planned, protected, and monetized across multiple districts — and ensures that the driver teams are utilized in the most cost effective, revenue producing and service execution possible. The decision making responsibilities of this role directly impact substantial freight spend and company profitability.

• Strong understanding of reload economics, deadhead exposure, dwell risk, hub-and-relay staging, and driver/carrier preferences.
• Ability to evaluate freight opportunities on full-cycle profitability — revenue, cost, dwell, deadhead exposure, and reload likelihood — rather than one-way margin.
• Ability to handle and prioritize multiple tasks simultaneously in a time-sensitive control tower environment.
• Strong communication skills.
• Strong typing skills of at least 35–40 wpm.
• Knowledge of U.S. geography; familiarity with U.S., Canada, and Mexico truckload markets preferred.

• Prior experience building lane guides, market playbooks, or utilization reporting a plus.

Responsibilities

• Administer reload and round-trip planning for Star Fleet teams. This includes prioritizing loads based on customer requirements, commitments, team-driver production, trailer utilization, and full-cycle profitability.
• Identify reload opportunities for capacity delivering within the next 24, 48, and 72 hours and build multi-leg plans (round-trip, return-load, reposition).
• Apply the capacity decision hierarchy in support of the Supervisor — Star Fleet first, internal reload match second, ad hoc direct-asset procurement third, escalation fourth.
• Match available or future Star Fleet capacity to district outbound demand; pair one district's inbound delivery capacity with another district's outbound freight.
• Review the geographical area for inbound, outbound, committed, and empty truck status, as well as trailer pools, to maximize asset utilization.
• Support the rolling 3-day capacity outlook with projected next-available times, destination markets, and target reload markets.
• Support Service Providers' Fleet Manager requests for production, home time, and other related requests.
• Maintain market playbooks for major Star Fleet and high-value locations; classify destination markets by reload strength, demand, and risk.
• Manage the day-to-day utilization of drop loads at terminals that fall in assigned geographical territories.
• Allocate trailers to designated customers and geographic areas.
• Monitor and ensure on-time pickups and deliveries; notify the Supervisor, Manager, and Districts of potential situations, delays, or other issues.
