- Develop carrier/broker relationships; negotiate rates and service terms
- Evaluate freight performance, cost, and delivery reliability
- Make day-to-day decisions on carriers, packaging, and logistics priorities
- Investigate and resolve shipping, receiving, and delivery issues
- Maintain packaging inventory levels and train staff on procedures
