Position Overview:
Carrier Representatives are the engine behind our ability to execute.

Build and maintain a reliable carrier network, not just transactional load board coverage
Develop lane-specific carrier relationships to improve consistency and pricing
Utilize multiple sourcing channels beyond load boards (direct outreach, relationship building, repeat carriers)
Negotiation & Rate Management
Negotiate competitive rates aligned with market conditions and lane history
Avoid overpaying through proper use of tools like Greenscreens and historical data
Escalate appropriately when market conditions shift or challenges arise

Maintain accurate and up-to-date load information within the TMS
Follow defined workflows for communication, updates, and documentation
Ensure all loads have clear ownership and status visibility at all times

Provide timely updates on uncovered, at-risk, or delayed shipments
Communicate proactively with carriers and internal teams
