About Cargomatic

Cargomatic solves local freight with a marketplace of more than 22,000 professional drivers. We meet the needs of every supply chain. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

Cargomatic moves freight across full truckload, over-the-road, local, and LTL. This role owns how that freight gets moved. You will run daily transportation operations across every mode, keep carriers compliant and capacity covered, and own execution from awarded freight through on-time delivery. You will also price FTL and LTL opportunities as they come up, so a strong operator who can read a lane and build a smart quote will do well here.

What they're looking for

  • • 7+ years in freight brokerage or transportation operations, including 3+ years in a leadership or senior role owning day-to-day execution and margin
  • • Deep operational command across FTL, OTR, local, and LTL, with a track record moving freight reliably across multiple accounts
  • • Carrier procurement and rate negotiation experience with asset-based carriers and 3PLs
  • • Working command of carrier compliance: FMCSA, operating authority, insurance verification, and safety ratings
  • • Comfort pricing FTL and LTL freight: lane analysis, market rates, accessorials, fuel, and capacity. You will not live in pricing, though you need to build a sound quote when a lane calls for one
  • • Proficiency in a TMS and load boards (DAT, Truckstop, or equivalent), plus strong Excel and data fluency

About the role

Cargomatic moves freight across full truckload, over-the-road, local, and LTL. This role owns how that freight gets moved.

You will also price FTL and LTL opportunities as they come up, so a strong operator who can read a lane and build a smart quote will do well here. You will work across sales, dispatch, compliance, and customer service, and you will be the person accountable when freight has to move clean and on time.

What you will own

• Transportation operations. Run daily operations for FTL, OTR, local, and LTL across multiple accounts, from awarded freight through final delivery. This is the core of the seat.

• Carrier procurement and negotiation. Negotiate rates with asset-based carriers and third-party providers to protect margin without giving up service, and keep capacity covered when lanes tighten.

• Carrier network and compliance. Own onboarding end to end: contracts, insurance verification, FMCSA and safety review, operating authority, W-9,...
