Load Planner

About the role

Transam Carriers runs 120+ trucks out of Concord, Ontario — cross-border LTL and truckload, our own customs desk and cross-dock.

Today, each dispatch desk plans its own trucks. It works, desk by desk. What it cannot do is see the whole fleet at once — so a truck emptying in Chicago and a load needing cover out of the Midwest can sit on two different screens and never meet.

This is a new role, created to fix exactly that.

• One plan for the whole fleet: where every truck is, when it frees up, and what it does next
• Matching capacity across desks instead of within them — the moves that no single desk can see
• Reducing empty miles and deadhead between regions, and being able to prove it
• Pre-planning the next move before a truck delivers, rather than after
• Flagging where we are short of capacity and where we are long, early enough for sales to act on it

• You have planned or dispatched for a fleet and can think in terms of the truck's whole week, not the next load
• You can hold a plan in your head across regions and still change it when the day does
• You are numbers-driven — empty miles, revenue per truck per day, utilisation are the language of this job
• Cross-border experience is a strong advantage: border timing changes what is possible
• You can work with dispatchers rather than over them. This role only works if the desks trust the plan

• A genuinely new seat with a clear problem to solve and visible results
• Live fleet data — GPS, utilisation and trip history in systems we build ourselves
• Direct line to ownership, and the authority the role needs to actually work
• Based at our Concord terminal
