About The Position

Arrive Logistics is seeking a Partial Pricing Specialist to price customer freight that does not fit neatly into full truckload or standard LTL services. The role owns customer bids for partial truckload (PTL), refrigerated LTL, and expedite or exclusive-use small trucks, including sprinter vans, box trucks, and straight trucks. The specialist turns lane data, shipment profiles, and market intelligence into dependable rates and works closely with Business Development to pursue suitable freight at the right margin.

The position requires daily independent execution of RFPs and collaboration across departments. The specialist assesses shipment characteristics and service requirements, develops pricing using internal and external data, validates costs and capacity, and ensures bids are accurately submitted on time. Award results and customer feedback are recorded and used to improve future pricing, tools, templates, and processes.
