- Work proactively with customers and dispatch to address potential service issues before they result in additional costs.
- Communicate daily with dispatch regarding load status, appointment changes, driver issues, terminal conditions, and customer requirements.
- Maintain accurate and timely updates across multiple systems, including Trinium and other customer/operational platforms.
- Document customer communications, scheduling changes, exceptions, and resolution activity.
- Research and resolve shipment discrepancies and customer issues.
