• Handle urgent medical, pharmaceutical, life-science, airfreight and other time-sensitive shipments
• Communicate proactively with customers, drivers, airports and logistics partners from pickup through final delivery
• Manage exceptions, delays and changing priorities in real time
• Maintain accurate PODs, shipment documentation, chain-of-custody information and special handling instructions
• Help cover operations remotely when necessary

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Local Northern New Jersey resident able to work in Moonachie, NJ
• Prior courier, messenger, expedited transportation or logistics dispatch experience

• Airport cargo and

EWR/JFK/LGA

experience is highly desirable

• TSA/STA air cargo experience is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple urgent jobs while staying organized and communicating clearly
• Schedule flexibility and willingness to assist with shift coverage when needed We're looking for someone who understands that successful expedited dispatching is more than assigning a driver.

You need to know the market, anticipate problems, communicate constantly and find solutions when the original plan changes. If you know the Tri-State, understand time-critical transportation and enjoy the pace of expedited logistics, we'd like to talk.
