Expedited Operations Specialist - Days
🚨 Ready to Take the Wheel of High-Speed Logistics? Join Us as an Expedited Operations Specialist! 🚨
Do you thrive under pressure? Love solving problems in real-time? Want a front-row seat in the fast lane of freight logistics? We’re looking for a driven, agile, and fiercely organized Expedited Operations Specialist to take command of high-priority, time-sensitive freight across our expedited lanes.
This isn’t your average desk job—this is logistics at full throttle. You’ll manage a dynamic board of professional drivers, navigate urgent disruptions, and make critical, on-the-fly decisions that keep freight moving and clients happy. Think of yourself as part strategist, part air traffic controller, and part firefighter—all rolled into one essential role.
🕓 Schedule: We provide you with the time you need or what is important to you. You will work four days 6:00am – 6:00pm and then enjoy four days off. Want other options? We can adjust from four days to five or seven.
📍 Location: You will work onsite with our amazing team at our local office.
💰 Compensation: Competitive base + performance bonuses
🔑 What You’ll Be Doing:
Command your own driver board, managing freight from planning through execution.
React in real time—solve breakdowns, reroute canceled loads, and keep the supply chain flowing.
Plan and coordinate multi-driver relay routes across long-haul lanes like a chess master on a clock.
Own the operation: You’re in charge of dispatching, planning, performance monitoring, and contingency response.
Communicate constantly with drivers and teams to maintain freight integrity and hit delivery deadlines.
Make smart decisions under pressure—every second counts.
🚛 Who You Are:
A natural multitasker who can juggle 30+ drivers or multiple critical lanes without breaking a sweat.
A decisive problem-solver with the confidence to make quick calls when the heat is on.
Comfortable wearing many hats—planner, dispatcher, crisis manager, and more.
Obsessed with operational excellence and not afraid to own your decisions.
A clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
🎓 What You Bring:
High school diploma required; a degree in Business, Supply Chain, or Logistics is a big plus.
2–3 years of experience in dispatching and planning (bonus points for expedited freight know-how).
Tech-savvy—familiar with logistics platforms and Microsoft Excel.
Proven track record of working independently and staying cool under pressure.
💼 What’s In It For You:
Performance bonuses to reward your hustle.
Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, company-paid disability and life insurance.
120 hours of PTO starting Day One—yep, you read that right.
Work from home perks: Earn up to 160 hours of remote flexibility after just 6 months.
401(K) to invest in your future.
