• Outline and resolve unique regulation concerns for US, Mexico, and Canada carriers, allowing carrier capacity to be added to the network.
• Utilize internal tools and third‑party monitoring services to proactively identify and remove non‑compliant or high‑risk carriers from the network.

• Review reports (FreightGuard, WatchDog, etc.) filed against the carrier throughout the industry to ensure continuous qualification of the carrier network.
• Conduct regular reviews and audits of DOT inspection data and trends; work with carriers to resolve inspection issues and track improvement plans where needed.
• Act as a compliance subject matter expert to assigned sales teams, providing support and guidance to the Sales and Operations teams.
• Respond to escalations, clarify protocols, and provide timely resolution of compliance-related processes and issues.
• Liaise with insurance providers and third‑party certificate systems to confirm timely renewals and updates to carrier insurance coverage to reduce liability to Arrive and our customers.
• Generate and distribute routine compliance reports, including key metrics, audit results, and status summaries. Provide analysis and identify trends or issues requiring escalation.
• Update and maintain compliance-related standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Propose enhancements based on system updates, regulatory changes, or audit findings.
• Continuously improve processes based on carrier feedback, regulatory updates, and strategic objectives for each freight mode.
• Stay current with industry regulations, FMCSA policy changes, and market trends to effectively communicate impacts and propose process adjustments to leadership.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in logistics, business, or compliance‑related fields.
• 2+ years of experience in carrier compliance or transportation industry operations.
• In‑depth knowledge of FMCSA regulations, insurance requirements, and carrier onboarding practices.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, G‑Suite, and compliance/monitoring platforms.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Detail‑oriented with the ability to manage multiple tasks under tight deadlines.
• Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively in a high‑volume, fast‑paced environment.
