Logistics Specialist

Schedule: Full Time • Job Type: On-site • Salary Type: Hourly

About the Role

Uber Freight is looking for a Logistics Specialist to join our Cross Dock Center of Excellence. This isn’t just about moving freight; it’s about mastering the complexity of modern cross‑dock logistics. You will be the architect of efficient transportation and facility flow strategies, leveraging cutting‑edge technology to ensure high‑stakes shipments maintain strict FIFO compliance, reach their destinations on time, and help mitigate impacts to the customer's budget. If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment where your decisions directly impact the bottom line, facility throughput, and the customer experience, this is the place to build your career.

• Technological Edge: Work with and integrate industry‑leading Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and data tools.
• Impact: Analyze freight flows, prevent bottlenecks, and recommend improvements that shape our cross‑dock transportation strategy while minimizing downstream impacts.

Responsibilities

• Navigate the full lifecycle of an order—from inbound load building to outbound tendering—using advanced TMS and collaborating seamlessly with WMS platforms to maximize peak facility potential.
• Take complete ownership of freight planning through the cross‑dock facility, ensuring all inbound and outbound shipments are strictly planned and executed based on FIFO (First‑In, First‑Out) principles to maintain optimal throughput and avoid dwell times.
• Build powerhouse relationships with customer‑selected carriers; leverage pre‑planned static routes and select the lowest‑cost, most efficient providers from participating carriers, ensuring dock schedules align for continuous delivery.
• Proactively identify performance trends, resolve shipment errors, and prevent dock bottlenecks; manage ASN/EDI data flows and CSV shipment file uploads for non‑EDI information to ensure customer freight visibility.
• Train new users on our systems (TMS/WMS interactions) and document standard operating procedures that set the gold standard for cross‑dock operational excellence.
• Serve as the critical link between shippers, receivers, facility operators, and carriers to resolve complex transloading and logistical challenges with professional poise.

Basic Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• 2+ years of relevant experience in transportation, logistics, or cross‑dock operations (a Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or a related field may be considered in lieu of experience).
• Foundational working knowledge of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and inventory flow principles, including FIFO.
• Intermediate proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Transportation, Logistics, or Supply Chain Management.
• 3+ years of deep experience in the logistics industry, with specific experience in a cross‑dock or fast‑paced transload facility.
• Proven ability to collaborate between TMS and WMS systems to drive operational alignment.
• Familiarity with BI and Tableau reporting to turn data into actionable insights for facility and freight performance.
• Advanced proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office Suite.
