INTERMODAL FREIGHTING (3PL)

TRANSPORTATION ANALYST

Intermodal freighting refers to the transportation of goods using two or more modes of transportation, such as shipping by truck and then by train or by ship and then by truck. This approach allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in shipping, as different modes of transportation can be used for different parts of the journey based on factors such as cost, speed, and the type of cargo being transported.

​

A third-party logistics (3PL) transportation analyst is an individual who analyzes and manages transportation logistics for a third-party logistics company. In the context of intermodal freighting, a 3PL transportation analyst would be responsible for identifying the most efficient and cost-effective modes of transportation for a given shipment, coordinating the logistics of the different modes of transportation, and ensuring that the shipment arrives at its destination in a timely and secure manner.

FREIGHT

NEGOTIATOR

A freight negotiator is an individual or company that negotiates rates and terms with carriers for the transportation of goods. Freight negotiators act as intermediaries between shippers (the party sending the goods) and carriers (the party transporting the goods), with the goal of securing the most favorable rates and terms for their clients.

​

Freight negotiators typically have a deep understanding of the transportation industry, including regulations, pricing structures, and carrier capabilities. They may work for shippers, carriers, or third-party logistics (3PL) companies, and may negotiate rates and terms for various modes of transportation, including trucking, rail, air, and sea.

​

In addition to negotiating rates and terms, freight negotiators may also assist with logistics planning, such as determining the most efficient routes for transportation and coordinating with carriers to ensure timely and secure delivery of goods. Their ultimate goal is to help their clients optimize their transportation operations and reduce costs.

03
LOGISTICS

SPECIALIST

A logistics specialist is an individual who is responsible for managing the movement of goods or materials from one place to another. Logistics specialists are typically employed by companies that manufacture or distribute products and are responsible for ensuring that products are delivered to customers in a timely, cost-effective, and efficient manner.

The specific duties of a logistics specialist may vary depending on the industry and the company they work for. However, in general, their responsibilities may include:

​

  1. Managing the transportation of goods or materials

  2. Coordinating with carriers and freight forwarders

  3. Ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations

  4. Managing inventory levels and stock replenishment

  5. Coordinating with other departments, such as sales and customer service, to ensure that orders are processed and delivered on time

  6. Analyzing logistics data to identify opportunities for optimization and cost reduction

 

Logistics specialists must have a deep understanding of transportation regulations, freight pricing, and logistics software. They must also be skilled at communication and problem-solving, as they must work closely with carriers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to ensure that goods are delivered on time and in good condition.

(TMS)

TECHNOLOGY

TMS stands for Transportation Management System, which is a type of software used to manage and optimize transportation operations. TMS technology is designed to help companies improve the efficiency of their transportation logistics, reduce transportation costs, and enhance overall supply chain visibility.

​

TMS technology provides a centralized platform for managing transportation operations, including carrier selection, route planning, load optimization, and shipment tracking. It may also include features such as real-time visibility into shipment status, automated reporting, and analytics tools for monitoring transportation performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.

​

TMS technology is typically used by companies that ship large volumes of goods and have complex transportation operations. By automating and streamlining transportation processes, TMS technology can help companies reduce the amount of time and resources required to manage transportation logistics, while also improving accuracy and reducing the risk of errors.

​

In addition to improving operational efficiency, TMS technology can also help companies improve customer satisfaction by providing real-time visibility into shipment status and delivery estimates. This can help companies proactively address any issues or delays and provide customers with accurate information about their shipments.
