Carrier Services Representative

Waterford, NY

The Carrier Services Representative role is a bit of sales, customer service, and operations all rolled into one. You’ll never have a dull day! Your primary responsibility is to establish and maintain quality relationships with trucking companies — the carriers who ship loads of freight for our customers. We want you to add new, qualified carriers to our network so that we have more options for shipping freight. You’ll be a matchmaker: figuring out which carriers are best suited to ship different types of freight for our customers, and then negotiating rates and details with those carriers. While freight is en route, you’ll oversee shipments and work directly with carriers to ensure things are going smoothly, and help handle any curve balls that are thrown (they always are!).

Benefits

Our competitive compensation for this role includes a bonus program. We offer benefits like health insurance, dental, paid vacations, holidays and sick time, and a 401K retirement program.

Our team is close-knit and empowered to make smart decisions on behalf of our customers and company. It’s a collaborative environment where top performers are rewarded.

We operate from a new, state-of-the art headquarters in Waterford, which has lots of great amenities for employees to fuel their productivity with espresso and seltzer.
