3d•Onsite

About The Position

Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Headquartered in Atlanta, we've grown over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities. We're trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands, but here's what really sets us apart: we build careers, not fill roles. Many of our leaders started in entry-level positions and grew with us. This is a tight-knit team where leaders know you by name, your work creates visible impact every single day and hard work gets rewarded with real opportunities. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want your decisions to directly drive results, keep reading. As Shipping Manager, you own outbound. Every order that leaves this building is your responsibility. You'll lead the daily shipping operation in a high-volume, 95% LTL facility, partnering with the Outbound Lead to solve order issues in real time and ensure every shipment is right before it rolls out the door. You'll review shipping paperwork, check in drivers, confirm loads are correct and step in on the dock to help when the operation needs it. This is a hands-on leadership role. You won't manage from a desk. You'll be on the floor, in the details and setting the standard for your team every day.
