Job Summary

The Transportation Manager will oversee and optimize the organization’s entire domestic transportation lifecycle—from carrier procurement and freight negotiation to daily dispatch, fleet routing, and operational execution.

Carrier Selection & Network Development: Build and maintain a reliable, cost-effective carrier network across all domestic lanes.
Performance Tracking: Manage carrier KPIs (On-Time Delivery, Tender Acceptance, Claims Ratio) and conduct quarterly business reviews (QBRs).
Capacity Planning: Secure dedicated capacity during peak seasons and market disruptions.

2. Operations & Execution

End-to-End Fleet/Freight Operations: Oversee daily dispatch, load planning, route optimization, and tracking from pickup to final delivery.
Troubleshooting & Exception Management: Resolve transit delays, claims, freight damage, and accessorial charge disputes in real time.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with warehouse management, customer service, and procurement teams to align shipping schedules with production and sales demand.

3. Budgeting & Cost Control

Financial Oversight: Manage the domestic transportation budget, monitor freight spend against forecast, and approve freight invoices.
Cost Savings Initiatives: Identify freight consolidation opportunities, continuous moves, backhaul usage, and mode conversion (e.g., LTL to TL, TL to Intermodal).

4. Compliance & Technology

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure full adherence to DOT, FMCSA, state, and local transportation laws, safety standards, and driver regulations.
TMS Management: Leverage Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and visibility platforms (e.g., FourKites, Project44) to automate routing, track shipments, and analyze performance data.
