On the Search:
We are on the search for a unique find to join our team. We are a small family-owned trucking company based in Findlay, OH. We haul freight that delivers in the surrounding states as well as to the East Coast. We have been operating for over 30 years and have drivers who have been around half of that time or more. We are very proud of what we do for an industry that has always been underappreciated, pre and post Covid. We tackle each duty and obstacle with professionalism and in an environment of trust, collaboration, and zero drama.
Our Need:
One of our current needs is in the office for a Logistics Coordinator (Dispatcher). The scope of work consists of building upon existing relationships with customers and establishing new ones, building loads into our dispatching software and issuing them to drivers, providing real-time status updates to our customers, sourcing new loads and matching the right routes to the right drivers (based on their personality, preference, and equipment types), answering phone inquiries for drivers and customers alike, putting out the occasional fire, and laughing together because we are all human.
Attributes to Succeed:
Being a small company, we wear multiple hats – and that’s partially what fuels us. It’s invigorating and helps us stay sharp. There are very few days that seem as though they move at snail’s pace. The right individual will consider themselves eager to learn and hard charging, all the while giving themselves room to fail and grow. They are a self-starter, taking the initiative to work collaboratively to determine solutions as the needs arise. Transportation industry experience is required. It will take an average of 1-2 months for someone to learn how we operate and achieve an understanding of our operations. So, if you’re looking for a welcoming work place that will challenge you, while at the same time be understanding on the learning curve – Please Apply!
