  • Schedule pickups and deliveries while maintaining accurate shipment information in the transportation management system (TMS).
  • Work closely with warehouse personnel, customer service, and other internal teams to communicate routing instructions, delivery schedules, and special shipping requirements.
  • Monitor shipments throughout transit, proactively address delays or service disruptions, and coordinate solutions with carriers and customers.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for shipment-related questions, providing timely updates and resolving delivery concerns.
  • Build and maintain positive working relationships with carriers and customers to support reliable service and smooth day-to-day operations.
Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience in transportation or logistics coordination.
  • Hands-on experience coordinating shipments and working with freight carriers.
  • Familiarity with a Transportation Management System (TMS).
  • Strong customer service skills and the ability to manage shipment-related inquiries professionally.
  • Clear verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across multiple teams.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
