We’re looking for someone who knows truckload freight inside and out—and is ready to step out of the daily brokerage grind and take full ownership of transportation for a growing metals operation.
This role is based out of our East End Louisville headquarters, overseeing freight across multiple facilities:
- Primary focus: Outbound finished aluminum coil to customers
- Secondary/back-up support: Inbound and outbound non-ferrous/ferrous scrap from our three scrap yards
If you’ve spent time in a brokerage managing loads, pricing lanes, and dealing with daily chaos—this is your chance to control the network instead of chasing it.
What You’ll Own
- Daily truckload execution (primarily van freight, some flatbed)
- Build and manage a core carrier network (reduce spot market dependence)
- Negotiate rates and manage lane pricing across key markets
- Coordinate closely with plant operations and yard teams
- Improve on-time delivery, cost per load, and load planning efficiency
- Use brokers strategically (not as a crutch)
- Manage claims, service issues, and continuous improvement
What Success Looks Like
- Fewer last-minute “scramble” loads
- Strong, reliable carrier relationships
- Measurable reduction in freight cost per lb / ton
- Improved on-time delivery performance
- Clear visibility into lanes, pricing, and capacity
- 3–8+ years in truckload brokerage, carrier sales, or transportation management
- Strong understanding of OTR van freight (flatbed a plus)
- Experience pricing lanes, sourcing capacity, and negotiating with carriers
- Ability to operate independently and make real-time decisions
