Job description

Logistics Coordinator

Location: Massillon, Ohio (On-site, Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM)

Mast Trucking is hiring a Logistics Coordinator to help us move refrigerated freight efficiently and profitably. This is a fast-paced, high-pressure role where your ability to think fast, negotiate honestly, and solve problems will determine your success.

If you’re someone who thrives in a high-energy environment, enjoys the challenge of finding the best freight opportunities, and wants to see the real impact of your decisions on a growing business, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Do

• Find and book quality freight that aligns with company goals

• Negotiate rates and contracts like a sharp shooter, securing the best possible deals

• Work closely with load planners and driver managers to support smooth operations

• Utilize Optimal Dynamics software and other industry tools to make data-driven decisions

• Keep up with fast-changing freight markets and adjust strategies accordingly

• Solve problems quickly when things don’t go as planned—because in trucking, they won’t

Who You Are

Results-Driven – You don’t just get the job done; you get it done right and push for better results every day
Detail-Oriented & Strategic – You think beyond the surface and make decisions that drive long-term success
A Fast Learner & Problem Solver – You ask smart questions, absorb new information quickly, and figure things out on the fly
Thrives Under Pressure – When things get intense, you step up, not back
Honest & Aggressive Negotiator – You fight for the best deals without cutting corners
Service-Minded – You look for ways to help the business, not just do your job

Who This Job Isn’t For

• You want a laid-back, routine job with little pressure
• You need constant direction and struggle to work independently
• You resist feedback or don’t see value in continuous improvement
• You’re just looking for a paycheck, not a career opportunity

What Success Looks Like

In 6-12 months in, you:

• Know the freight market inside and out and can negotiate with confidence

• Use Optimal Dynamics software like a pro and make smart, strategic decisions

• Are trusted by the load planning team and take initiative to solve problems

• Book profitable loads consistently, even in tough market conditions

• Handle pressure without breaking down—holidays and busy weeks don’t scare you

• Seek feedback constantly and are already taking on bigger responsibilities

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required (preferably in Supply Chain, Business, or a related field)

• 1-3 years of experience in supply chain, logistics, or transportation preferred, but motivated entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply

• Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills

• Ability to handle high-pressure, fast-changing environments

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and willingness to learn logistics software
