Lead the Flow of Goods from Our DC

Own the heartbeat of transportation at our Ecru, MS distribution center. As the Distribution Transportation Operations Scheduler, you will orchestrate daily freight movements, connect with carriers and internal partners, and keep deliveries on schedule and compliant. This is an on-site role; remote work is not available.

Where and When

  • Location : Ecru, MS
  • Schedule : Sunday–Thursday, 8 : 00 a.m.–5 : 30 p.m.

A Day in the Role

Your morning starts by reviewing overnight transportation activity and delivery scorecards. You align outbound loads, confirm driver and third-party carrier availability, and finalize optimized routes from the distribution center. Midday, you partner with inventory management and customer service to adjust priorities and keep orders moving. If a disruption pops up, you troubleshoot fast—rerouting, rescheduling, and communicating updates to ensure on-time arrivals. Before end of day, you verify documentation, confirm regulatory and safety compliance, and log improvements to make tomorrow even smoother.

What You Will Drive

  • Transportation coordination : Schedule and manage outbound moves from the distribution center for accurate, on-time delivery.
  • Performance monitoring : Track delivery timelines and carrier KPIs; resolve exceptions quickly to protect customer commitments.
  • Cross-functional alignment : Collaborate with inventory, customer service, and other teams to support accurate order fulfillment.
  • Documentation & compliance : Maintain shipping paperwork and ensure adherence to all regulatory and safety requirements.
  • Routing optimization : Work with drivers and third-party providers to build efficient, cost-effective routes.
  • Rapid issue resolution : Identify root causes and implement fixes to minimize disruptions.
  • Process improvement : Recommend changes that streamline coordination and elevate efficiency.

    • What You Bring

  • Relevant background : Experience in logistics, transportation coordination, supply chain, or customer service with exposure to orders, transportation, and inventory.
  • Communication excellence : Clear written and verbal skills for working with internal teams and external carrier partners.
  • Organizational discipline : Ability to prioritize, manage multiple tasks, and meet deadlines with precision.
  • Problem-solving under pressure : Confident decision-making to keep freight and deliveries moving.
  • Systems savvy : Comfortable with logistics software, ERP tools, and TMS; quick to learn new platforms.
