What You'll Do

  • Build accurate, competitive, and profitable rate quotes for over dimensional/overweight (OS/OW) and heavy haul freight across step decks, RGNs, lowboys, multi-axle setups, and specialized trailers.
  • Analyze complex load dimensions, weights, axle configurations, and engineering drawings to select the correct equipment and verify route feasibility.
  • Calculate and price all variable cost drivers into spot quotes and RFPs, including state-by-state permits, pilot/escort cars, police details, route surveys, superload fees, and travel-time restrictions.
  • Source competitive market rates and partner with carrier procurement teams to expand and maintain an elite network of qualified specialized heavy haul carriers.
  • Respond promptly to incoming spot quote requests and RFPs within target turnaround windows, strategically balancing quote win rates with profitability thresholds.
  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Account Management, and Carrier Sales teams to establish clear customer expectations regarding transit times, equipment availability, cost drivers, and operational lead times.
  • Track and evaluate quote performance, lane dynamics, and accessorial cost trends to continuously refine pricing models, benchmarks, and quoting guidelines.
  • Proactively identify and flag regulatory compliance, safety, and cargo claims risks prior to load booking and dispatch.
  • Leverage proprietary pricing tools, rate benchmarking platforms (such as DAT and Greenscreens), and TMS software to streamline workflows and drive data-backed pricing decisions.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or equivalent professional experience preferred.
  • 2+ years of experience pricing, brokering, or dispatching heavy haul, over dimensional/overweight (OS/OW), or specialized flatbed/open deck freight within a 3PL or freight brokerage environment.
  • Deep working knowledge of federal and state Department of Transportation (DOT) permitting rules, legal axle weight limits, escort/pilot car regulations, and specialized routing restrictions.
  • Proven ability to interpret technical load specifications and BOLs to make rapid equipment and pricing decisions.
  • Advanced analytical and mathematical proficiency, with strong Microsoft Excel skills for building and auditing cost-plus rate models.
  • Experience with specialized market intelligence and pricing tools (e.g., DAT, Truckstop, Greenscreens) and Transportation Management Systems (TMS).
  • Familiarity with heavy haul industry sectors (e.g., construction, energy, renewables/wind, agriculture, or industrial machinery) and cross-border specialized moves is a plus.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple time-sensitive priorities in a high-urgency setting.
