Job description

Tired of being just another number in a long-haul fleet? At Northwest Corp, we’re not your typical trucking company.

Regulatory Compliance and Documentation: Follow all traffic laws and company policies while maintaining a professional and courteous presence on the road. Keep accurate records of deliveries, including logbooks, bills of lading, and other required documentation.

Team Collaboration and Equipment Coordination: Work closely with crane operators, riggers, signalmen, and logistics personnel to coordinate the loading, unloading, and setup/teardown of cranes and equipment. Communicate clearly to align delivery schedules and resolve any on-site challenges.

Customer and Vendor Relations: Deliver outstanding service during all interactions with clients and vendors. Represent the company with professionalism, ensuring every encounter reflects our commitment to quality and reliability.
