  • Track every movement, anticipate potential delays, and communicate updates before clients ask.
  • Review domestic and international documents for accuracy, compliance, and customs readiness.
  • Work in our internal Transportation Management System, and Mercury CRM to keep data clean, organized, and actionable.
  • Partner with teammates, carriers, and the operations leadership to identify better processes and eliminate friction for clients.
