Transportation Supervisor

Transportation Supervisor

Working this job means bouncing between the office and warehouse. Communication is key to this role, whether it be customer, sales, or peers. Getting the most up–to–date information on anything that can – and will – disrupt a shipment or delivery is crucial to managing expectations up and down the line. While you will be consulting these schedules, making use of transportation management software, and communicating with all relevant parties in real-time, you also must ensure proper and adequate safety protocols are being followed enroute and at the various locations. Sometimes this involves being onsite and hands-on.
