Customer Service & Communication: Maintain regular communication with drivers, customers, and internal teams to provide shipment updates, resolve service issues, and ensure overall customer satisfaction. Address customer inquiries, concerns, and requests in a professional and timely manner.
Documentation & Reporting: Prepare and manage all necessary transportation documents, including shipping manifests, delivery confirmations, and compliance records. Ensure data entry and administrative tasks are completed accurately and efficiently.
Collaboration: Work closely with other departments to streamline processes, enhance operational efficiency, and implement continuous improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, and Outlook.
Above-average keyboarding skills, professional telephone etiquette, and strong customer service orientation.
