About Posse Heavy Haul

Part of the Lantrax Group of Companies, Posse Heavy Haul is a premier asset-based flatbed and heavy haul carrier headquartered in Surrey, BC. Backed by an in-house logistics and freight brokerage network, our highway fleet of company drivers and owner-operators is continuously supported by strong internal freight channels alongside external business.

The Role

We are seeking a high-energy Highway Open Deck Sales & Dispatch Lead to manage our highway fleet end-to-end. This is a unique hunter-planner hybrid seat: you'll sell the load, price it, plan it, permit it, and dispatch it.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you own your numbers, build real relationships with drivers, and keep trucks moving profitably, this desk is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Freight Sales & Account Growth (~50%): Source, quote, and book open deck, oversize, and heavy haul freight. Prospect direct shippers across target industries (steel, machinery, precast, construction, forestry) and leverage our internal brokerage network for built-in volume.
• Planning & Dispatch (~40%): Dispatch company drivers and owner-operators, matching freight to flat decks, step decks, double drops, lowbeds/RGNs, multi-axle, and trombone setups. Handle axle weight distribution, securement compliance, and OS/OW permitting across Canada and US corridors.
• Cross-Border & Operations: Coordinate ACI/ACE e-manifests, PARS/PAPS customs clearances, and ensure full Hours of Service (HOS) compliance.
• Driver & Partner Relations (~10%): Build strong trust with drivers and owner-operators, maximize their revenue, minimize downtime, and work collaboratively with internal teams.

What We're Looking For

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years in flatbed and open deck freight (sales, dispatch, or hybrid) with oversize/heavy haul exposure. Minimum 3+ years directly in dispatch.
• Equipment & Weight Distribution: Deep understanding of open deck trailer capabilities, axle groupings, deck heights, legal limits, and cargo securement (NSC Standard 10).
• Permitting & Customs: Demonstrated experience securing OS/OW permits across BC, AB, and cross-border/US PNW lanes, along with cross-border documentation processes.
• Commercial Drive: Strong rate negotiation skills, TMS proficiency, and a track record of keeping fleet capacity utilized profitably.
• Legally entitled to work in Canada.

Preferred Assets

• Existing shipper or carrier relationships in BC/AB open deck markets.
• Class 1 license or prior driving experience.
• Working knowledge of NSC compliance, HOS, and CVSE regulations.

What We Offer

• Competitive Total Earnings: Base salary combined with margin-based commission and performance bonuses ($70K–$120K OTE).
• Comprehensive Benefits: Dental coverage, paid time off, wellness program, flexible scheduling options, casual dress code, and free on-site parking.
• Built-in Fleet Support: Access to an in-house brokerage and inside sales team that feeds freight directly to your desk.
