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

Who This Job Isn’t For:

You want a laid-back, routine job with little pressure

• 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
