Job Summary

The Rates & Order Entry Specialist plays a critical role in the daily lifecycle of our logistics pipeline. This position requires quick responses to requests for quotes (Rates).

Handoff Coordination: Seamlessly transition of order management to the Dispatch teams for scheduling and execution.

3. Container Tracing & Dispatch Support (~15%)

Pre-Ground Tracing: Daily morning trace of all inbound containers that have not yet grounded at the rail ramp. Utilize rail portals to pull real-time ETA updates, and discharge statuses.

Role Requirements & Qualifications

Experience: Minimum of 1–3 years of experience within the freight forwarding or logistics industry (required).
System Knowledge: High proficiency with Google Workspace (Gmail, Sheets, Docs, etc). Some experience with TMS (Transportation Management Systems (e.g., Trinium, CargoWise One, Descartes, etc) is nice to have.
Industry Acumen: Solid understanding of trucking, container and general transportation terminology
Speed & Accuracy: Exceptional data entry skills (high WPM with a low error rate) and the ability to multitask.
Communication: Sharp written and verbal communication skills for providing top-tier service to clients.
