About The Position

The Transportation Analyst is a critical link between warehouse operations and our carrier network.

When warehouse volume surges or operational needs arise, the Transportation Analyst will be expected to support floor operations, including: Monitoring the staging areas to ensure routed loads are physically prepared for carrier arrival. Assisting with manual order picking, packing, or palletizing during high-volume windows. Verifying trailer seals and performing physical inspections of outbound equipment. Directly assisting the outbound shipping team with dock management and trailer loading coordination.
