We are seeking an experienced, analytical, and hands-on Transport Coordinator to oversee the domestic distribution network across Canada.

...
You will own carrier relations and driver management (internal drivers) from end to end: sourcing partners, negotiating competitive freight rates, booking loads, tracking performance, and relentlessly optimizing costs.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and know how to build strong carrier networks while driving down logistics spend, we want to hear from you.
