Outbound Transportation Coordinator

Profile

The Transportation Outbound Coordinator is responsible for providing support to our delivery agent network to ensure timely delivery to our stores. This requires daily communication and interaction with our stores and sometimes carriers. The main support is through email and phone communication, also utilizing an online program, PCSTrac, which also gives stores visibility to know what to expect. The main goal is to create a predictable view of what stores can expect and when processes are not followed and/or plans change, helping keep stores and delivery agents informed of the situation and ways to overcome the hurdles.
