Responsibilities Transportation & Freight Management This is the "movement" side of the job.

Route Optimization: Planning the most cost-effective and timely routes to minimize delays and fuel costs.

Warehouse Liaison: Coordinating with warehouse staff to ensure orders are picked, packed, and ready for the scheduled pickup.
Loss Prevention: Investigating discrepancies in inventory or reported damages during transit.

Vendor Relations: Maintaining strong ties with suppliers to ensure timely production and dispatch.
Customer Service: Providing tracking updates to clients and proactively managing expectations when delays (inevitably) occur.
Internal Collaboration: Working with the Sales and Finance departments to align shipping schedules with revenue goals and budgets.
Compliance & Data Analysis The "behind the scenes" work that keeps the company out of trouble.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring all shipments adhere to local and international laws (e.g., DOT regulations or hazardous materials handling).
KPI Tracking: Monitoring metrics like On-Time Delivery (OTD), freight costs as a percentage of sales, and order cycle times.
Process Improvement: Identifying "pain points" in the supply chain and suggesting software or workflow changes to fix them.
