@jesterrivera
I coordinate freight movement across land-based and maritime logistics operations.
What I'm looking for
I've coordinated FTL and LTL freight across key U.S. routes, booking 15+ loads weekly and working directly with carriers and owner-operators to secure capacity and rates.
In remote freelance freight forwarding work, I tracked shipments from pickup through delivery, kept clients and vendors updated through TMS tools, and maintained accurate bills of lading, rate confirmations, and proof of delivery.
I built relationships with 30+ carriers and drivers, helped reduce late pickups, and resolved delays directly with drivers and dispatch to keep freight moving.
Before freight forwarding, I spent eight years in international maritime operations handling, loading, securing, and stowing vehicle cargo, reefer containers, bulk cargo, and hazardous materials.
