3. Implement best practices in logistics operations, always looking for ways to improve processes and productivity as your influence within the company increases.
4. As your team grows, manage and mentor your workforce, creating a positive and productive work environment that drives continued success.

Financial Performance & Growth:

2. Monitor financial metrics and KPIs closely, making necessary adjustments to meet targets, which will become even more critical as the team grows.
3. Develop and manage budgets from the outset, ensuring cost-effective operations—this responsibility will be increasingly vital as you scale and lead the branch.
4. Leverage an extensive carrier network to ensure the availability of capacity and competitive pricing.
5. Maintain and grow relationships with carriers, negotiating rates and terms to benefit both the branch and clients.
6. Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and company policies in carrier management.
