Why Join CDN Logistics? Founded in 1998, CDN Logistics, Inc. is a dynamic transportation and logistics company providing service throughout the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico. This role provides an opportunity to become a trusted operational resource within a growing transportation organization. Your decisions will directly support our drivers, protect customer commitments, and help ensure a successful transition from one operating day to the next.
At CDN Logistics, our drivers mean the world to us. Our Tracking Coordinator plays an important role in fulfilling that commitment by ensuring drivers have a capable, responsive partner whenever they are on the road. If you are an experienced transportation professional who thinks ahead, works well independently, communicates effectively, and takes pride in solving problems when others are off the clock, we would like to hear from you.
At CDN, reliability, flexibility, and quality service rule the road. Our drivers mean the world to us, and we are committed to giving them the responsive, knowledgeable support they need—regardless of the hour.
