05.2022 - Current
- Manage the day-to-day operations of our clients' shipping needs. My specific exposure has largely been over-the-road full truckload dry van shipments. A trailer storage project for an apparel company with excess products was also exciting and rewarding.
- Daily tasks include but are not limited to, load building, appointment scheduling, rate negotiations, issue resolution, managing client expectations, preparing presentations for internal MBRs, scorecard scrubbing, and quoting.
- Collaborate with the sales team to provide insight regarding operations at various shipping and receiving plants, our clients' consignees, and the customer's own preferences.
- Review and resolve issues related to accessorial requests, carrier documentation, and invoice discrepancies.
- Build lasting and expanding relationships with the client. Perhaps nothing is more important than being attentive, understanding, and proactive to a client's needs and concerns.
- Mentor, advise, and "show the ropes" to younger team members.
