Full Job Description
## Description POP QUIZ! True or False: 3PLs are your BFFs but you can hang with the Lumpers. Short Answer: What’s the difference between a Reefer and a Dry Van? Open Ended Response: Do you love to max out the cube? Why or why not? Hypothetical Question: If you scheduled Truck A to arrive at Point D at 11:27 AM CST, but you went to bed at 8:30 PM CST the night before, you’d still know which point Truck A would be at by midnight, the night before delivery? We hope that our ideal candidate might get a chuckle out of that quiz or—if no one really loves pop quizzes—at least breezed through it with brilliant answers. Our familia is looking for a Logistics Specialist that's sort of like a hybrid between The Energizer Bunny and Thomas the Tank Engine; someone with an abundance of positive energy to power through complex scheduling, and a zeal for connecting the dots and getting everything on track to meet intermodal (and other) deadlines. (Yes, pun intended. And, while we’re here, if you like bad dad jokes, that’s a considerable plus.) Sound like you? Let’s get in touch. ## About you You’re an excellent com-mu-ni-ca-tor. You like to make things move. Puzzles are your pastime of choice, and missing pieces can’t even throw you off your A-grade puzzle-solving game. The more pieces, the better. If Train A leaves the station traveling at 30 miles per hour, and two hours later train В leaves the same station traveling in the same direction at 40 miles per hour, you’ve already overtaken both of them because you’re an organized planner who scheduled the trains in the first place. You’re friendly, personable, efficient, thorough, and detail-oriented. Fast-paced environments thrill you. Like a Band-Aid, you love to fix problems, hold things together, and make people feel better. ## What you will do Own execution of daily transportation operations; tendering, tracking, updating shipment-level data across all systems to ensure accurate and timely movement of freight.
