What Matters Most To Us:

At Inland Transport, work ethic and accountability matter. We are looking for someone who doesn’t simply complete tasks—they take ownership. You should be the type of person who sees an outstanding balance and follows up. If something doesn’t reconcile, you investigate it. If there is a customer issue, you work toward a solution. If a task is assigned to you, you make sure it gets completed correctly and on time. We value employees who are professional, honest, dependable, proactive, and committed to doing things the right way.

Ideal Candidate:

The ideal candidate is someone who can walk into the office, understand what needs to be done, stay organized, stay focused, and get the job done without constant supervision. If you are an experienced Accounts Receivable professional who enjoys solving problems, working with customers, keeping accounts accurate, and taking pride in your work, we want to hear from you.
