Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certification such as Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) or equivalent.

  • Familiarity with various modes of transportation including truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), and intermodal.
  • Demonstrated success in building and maintaining long-term client and carrier relationships.
  • Knowledge of regional and national transportation networks and market trends.

Responsibilities:

  • Identify and establish relationships with shippers and carriers to build a reliable network.
  • Negotiate freight rates and contracts to secure competitive pricing and favorable terms.

  • Monitor freight movement and resolve any issues such as delays, damages, or discrepancies.
  • Maintain accurate records of shipments, contracts, and communications using transportation management systems.
  • Communicate proactively with clients and carriers to provide updates and address concerns.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant transportation regulations and industry standards.

Skills:

In daily work, strong communication skills are essential for negotiating rates and maintaining clear, professional interactions with both shippers and carriers. Organizational skills enable effective management of multiple shipments simultaneously, ensuring deadlines are met and documentation is accurate. Problem-solving abilities are frequently applied to address logistical challenges such as delays or route changes, minimizing impact on delivery schedules. Proficiency with transportation management systems and brokerage software supports efficient tracking, record-keeping, and reporting.
