The primary focus is on booking loads through broker networks and load boards, negotiating competitive rates, and coordinating the logistics of pickups, deliveries, tracking, and paperwork.

Success in this role relies on efficiency, negotiation skills, and the ability to build and maintain a volume of carrier relationships. It is suited for those who can stay organized and productive in a remote, autonomous environment.

What’s Provided

To support your success, we provide comprehensive training resources and support systems. You will have access to workflow templates and operational guidance to streamline your processes. Additionally, we offer options for sourcing owner-operators to dispatch, helping you build the necessary network to secure consistent work.
