Logistics Coordinator — Freight Operations (Remote)

Trinity Logistics • Full-time • Remote (Tampa, FL, US) • 1m ago

About the role

Trinity Logistics is a 3PL franchise office moving freight across every mode — dry van, flatbed, expedited medical, and tradeshow/event logistics. We're hiring a Logistics Coordinator to own loads end to end: booking the carrier, generating the paperwork, and keeping the customer informed from pickup to delivery.

This is a remote role, but it's not a passive one. You'll be the person a customer calls when a truck is late and the person a carrier calls when a dock won't release them. If you like owning problems and closing them out, this is a good fit.

What you'll do

Source, negotiate with, and book carriers on open loads
Generate and verify BOLs, rate confirmations, and delivery documentation
Track and trace active shipments; push proactive status updates before the customer has to ask
Manage 20–30 active loads at once across multiple modes without letting one go dark
Handle exceptions — detention, reconsignments, missed appointments, damaged freight — and communicate them early
Vet carriers for authority, insurance, and safety compliance before dispatch
Keep the TMS clean and current so anyone can pick up a load and know exactly where it stands

What you bring

1–3 years in freight brokerage, 3PL, or transportation operations
Working knowledge of BOLs, rate cons, carrier packets, and DOT compliance basics
Comfort negotiating rates with carriers and holding a number
The organizational discipline to run a full board without a dropped update — this is the single biggest predictor of success here
A quiet, dedicated remote workspace and reliable internet
Flexibility for occasional after-hours issues; freight doesn't respect a 5 o'clock

Nice to have

Flatbed experience (securement, permits, oversize)
Temperature-controlled or medical/pharma freight
Tradeshow or event logistics (marshaling yards, move-in/move-out windows)
Experience in a franchise or small-office environment where you wear several hats

Why Trinity

You'll get the backing, carrier network, and technology of a national 3PL with the autonomy of a small office. Your work is visible, your decisions matter, and there's real room to grow into carrier sales or account management
