Warehouse Lead

Wavepoint Warehousing, Inc. • North Tonawanda, NY

About The Position

The legacy that is today Wavepoint is a story of successfully creating and executing customer-driven solutions that align with ever-changing market conditions, born out of the demand for single-source logistics, both responsive and competitive. We’d like to say we planned it all back in 1978 when we booked the first truckload, but, in full disclosure, we followed the market as it drove us to where we are today. Things have changed – and keep changing – and we're a provider for these times. Grassroots growth of individual trucking, warehousing, and brokerage enterprises brought together under new entrepreneurial leadership is now aligned with the shared visions of excellence, supported by a talented staff and best-in-class assets, and the all-important ‘can-do’ spirit.
