• Audit and approve carrier rate quotes, accessorial charges, and drayage invoices for accuracy.
• Maintain complete visibility and accurate milestone tracking within the Transportation Management System (TMS).

• 3+ years of direct operational experience specifically in drayage logistics (port and/or rail container transportation).
• Deep technical understanding of port terminal operations, rail ramp procedures, steamship line processes, and accessorial fee structures.
• Proven track record of successfully managing container dwell times and controlling accessorial costs.
• Proficiency with modern Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and ocean/rail tracking tools.
• Strong problem-solving, negotiation, and high-volume multi-tasking abilities under tight deadlines.

Remote Work Environment Fit
