PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Sunteck Transport, Rochelle Park, NJ 2015

Logistics Coordinator multitasking

Tasked with achieving the highest possible profit from each load, I have excelled in building strong relationships with carriers that have helped lead to triple digit profit margins for my team.

My main responsibility was negotiating pricing for each project or shipment. I used various transportation methods with different carriers, watching the company’s preset budget while making sure to select only carriers with a good reputation and service record. After agreeing on a price, my responsibility was to manage the movement and tracking of the freight to ensure it was delivered on schedule. Any issues that may have occurred during transit were my responsibility to diagnose and fix as expeditiously as possible, ensuring the customer is satisfied, their deadline was met, and most importantly that their budget was not exceeded.
