Transportation Coordinator (Hourly)

Purpose of the Role

The Transportation Coordinator will serve as the single point of coordination for all inbound and outbound traffic entering and leaving the Distribution Center. This role is designed to reduce transportation risk (including Rx compliance), improve yard and dock flow, and significantly decrease the administrative workload currently shared among supervisors, admins, group leads, and security.

This position provides centralized ownership of transportation execution without adding a supervisory layer.

Role Overview

• Job Title: Transportation Coordinator
• Schedule: First Shift (7:00 AM – 5:00 PM) with flexibility to support second shift or overnight operations as needed
• Position Type: Hourly
• Direct Reports: None
• Primary Focus: Yard coordination, transportation compliance, and reporting

Key Responsibilities

Transportation & Yard Coordination

• Coordinate all inbound and outbound trailer movements (Rx and non-Rx)
• Maintain real-time trailer statuses, locations, and dwell times in the Yard Management System (YMS)
• Prioritize trailer moves in partnership with operations and yard hostlers
• Support efficient yard flow and dock availability

Compliance & Risk Control

• Monitor and protect Rx and temperature-sensitive freight from non-compliance
• Verify trailer seals, documentation, and chain-of-custody requirements
• Identify and escalate at-risk trailers before compliance thresholds are reached
• Document and track transportation exceptions in an auditable format

Communication & Escalation

• Act as the primary transportation contact for:

o Front-line supervisors and group leads

o Admin teams

o Third-party security

o Yard/jockey teams

• Provide shift-start and daily transportation status updates

Reporting & Visibility

• Identify trends and recurring issues for leadership review

Business Value

• Risk Reduction: Proactively prevents Rx excursions and transportation compliance issues
• Efficiency: Removes transportation tracking and coordination tasks from supervisors and admins
• Accountability: Establishes a single owner for all DC transportation flow
• Visibility: Improves real-time awareness of yard and dock conditions
• Scalability: Supports current and future volume without increasing leadership headcount

Growth & Development Opportunity

This role is intentionally structured as a lateral hourly opportunity for a strong associate with interest in transportation, coordination, and compliance. It provides exposure to:

• Yard and transportation systems (YMS/TMS)
• Cross-functional leadership collaboration
• Compliance and risk management
• Data tracking and operational reporting

The role creates a development path toward:

• Transportation leadership
• Operations support roles
• Safety, quality, or compliance functions

Success Measures

• Zero preventable Rx compliance incidents
• Reduction in trailer dwell and yard congestion
• Improved on-time departures and pickups
• Decreased transportation-related admin workload for supervisors

Summary

The Transportation Coordinator role centralizes ownership of transportation flow and compliance, reduces operational risk, and frees front-line leaders to focus on people and production. It is a practical, cost-effective solution that strengthens execution while offering meaningful growth for an hourly team member.
