Job description

About Circle Logistics

Circle Logistics is a high-growth transportation and logistics provider moving truckload freight across North America. We partner with shippers and carriers to solve real supply chain challenges in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

Our culture is competitive, team-oriented, and growth focused. We believe in coaching, accountability, and giving driven people the opportunity to prove themselves early.

Here, numbers speak.

Built for Competitors

The Circle Logistics Internship is a structured, hands-on program designed for rising juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who thrive in competitive environments.

If you were an athlete, team leader, or someone who naturally leans into challenges instead of away from them, you will feel at home here.

This is not a shadowing internship.

You will learn the business - and then you will execute.

Track & Trace

You will gain perspective beyond your daily role and understand how the industry operates at a high level.
