Job Summary

Eggs Unlimited is seeking an experienced, motivated, and detail-driven Freight Operations Coordinator to join our logistics team in Irvine, California.

This is a hands-on freight execution role responsible for sourcing capacity, negotiating competitive rates, covering loads, tracking shipments, managing transportation issues, and maintaining ownership of shipments from load assignment through delivery, documentation verification, system updates, and final load closeout. Our coordinators primarily manage refrigerated full truckload freight, with additional support for LTL, intermodal, and other transportation modes as needed.

We are looking for someone who is willing to get into the details, make calls, work multiple carrier options, ask the right questions, and negotiate confidently and persistently.

Our logistics operation is high-volume, fast-moving, and constantly changing. Success requires urgency, sound judgment, strong follow-through, and the ability to manage multiple active shipments and competing priorities without sacrificing accuracy.

This position is 100% based in our Irvine, California office and may require occasional overtime or weekend support based on business needs.
