• Promptly respond to BOL requests from our service carriers and Traffic team 
• Systematically ship trucks using the HighJump WMS system

And here’s our end of the bargain!

• Paid leave for new parents to support work/life balance and family bonding
• Excellent medical/dental and vision coverage—EPO, PPO and HSA
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution (because you will retire someday)
• Flexible benefits—choose what you like, ignore the rest
• Generous employee discount
• Casual dress…and we really mean it
