Freight Management Trainee

Western offers competitive pay, benefits, paid time off, paid holidays, and a fun, family-oriented culture. The Western Express campus is a state-of-the-art facility rebuilt in 2020, with three on site gyms, guided fitness classes, and a cafeteria. We are proud to be a culture that promotes from within and has infinite growth potential. One of our core values is to be hardworking, and we reward those individuals with opportunity and incentive.

As a Freight Management Trainee, you will train across various roles within the operation, with a primary focus on driver management and customer support. This position prepares you to cover absences and equips you with the skills required to become a Driver Manager.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Communicate daily with your team of drivers to ensure smooth and efficient operations.
  • Ensure on-time delivery of all freight shipments.
  • Collaborate with other departments to achieve company-wide goals and initiatives.
  • Develop strong relationships with drivers, serving as their main point of contact for any road-related issues and supporting their professional growth within the organization.
  • Communicate safety expectations to drivers to ensure compliance with DOT regulations.
  • Monitor and track freight shipments to confirm timely deliveries.
  • Assist leadership with special projects as needed.
  • Take on additional responsibilities and tasks as they arise.
  • Uphold and exemplify the company's Core Values.
  • Escalate critical issues to leadership in a timely manner.

Qualifications:

  • Associate's Degree preferred but not required.
  • Relevant experience in sales or management within the transportation industry.
  • Demonstrated track record of achievement and success, with the ability to lead by example.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively to overcome challenges.
  • Excellent prioritization skills with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • A competitive mindset and a drive to succeed.
  • A "refuse-to-lose" mentality, with a commitment to excellence in all tasks.

This role offers the opportunity to learn, grow, and become a key player in the freight management team while advancing toward leadership positions.
