Job description

🚨 Ready to Take the Wheel of High-Speed Logistics?

Join Us as an Expedited Operations Specialist! 🚨 Do you thrive under pressure?

Love solving problems in real-time?

Want a front-row seat in the fast lane of freight logistics?

We’re looking for a driven, agile, and fiercely organized Expedited Operations Specialist to take command of high-priority, time-sensitive freight across our expedited lanes.

This isn’t your average desk job—this is logistics at full throttle .

You’ll manage a dynamic board of professional drivers, navigate urgent disruptions, and make critical, on-the-fly decisions that keep freight moving and clients happy.

Think of yourself as part strategist, part air traffic controller, and part firefighter—all rolled into one essential role.

Schedule :

  • Rolling schedule of either 4x4, 7x7 or 2x2x3 - all 12 hours shifts.  What You’ll Be Doing : Command your own driver board , managing freight from planning through execution.
  • React in real time —solve breakdowns, reroute canceled loads, and keep the supply chain flowing.
  • Plan and coordinate multi-driver relay routes across long-haul lanes like a chess master on a clock.

Own the operation :

  • You’re in charge of dispatching, planning, performance monitoring, and contingency response.
  • Communicate constantly with drivers and teams to maintain freight integrity and hit delivery deadlines.
  • Make smart decisions under pressure—every second counts. 🚛 Who You Are :

  • A natural multitasker who can juggle 30+ drivers or multiple critical lanes without breaking a sweat.
  • A decisive problem-solver with the confidence to make quick calls when the heat is on.
  • Comfortable wearing many hats— planner, dispatcher, crisis manager , and more.
  • Obsessed with operational excellence and not afraid to own your decisions.
  • A clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. 🎓 What You Bring :

  • High school diploma required; a degree in Business, Supply Chain, or Logistics is a big plus. 2–3 years of experience in dispatching and planning (bonus points for expedited freight know-how).
  • Tech-savvy—familiar with logistics platforms and Microsoft Excel.
  • Proven track record of working independently and staying cool under pressure . 💼 What’s In It For You :

  • Performance bonuses to reward your hustle.
  • Full benefits package :

  • medical, dental, vision, company-paid disability and life insurance. 120 hours of PTO starting Day One —yep, you read that right.
  • Work from home perks :

  • Earn up to 160 hours of remote flexibility after just 6 months. 401(K) to invest in your future.
  • Company Overview Founded in 1935, Hirschbach Motor Lines has built a sterling reputation for delivering time and temperature-sensitive freight across 48 states.
  • Today, the organization generates $1+ billion in revenue and has become the 2nd largest refrigerated carrier in North America with company headquarters in Dubuque, Iowa.
  • Hirschbach strives to provide the highest level of service in the industry, offering a breadth of services including Dedicated, Over the Road, Expedited, Entertainment, and Logistics Solutions.
  • With a tenured history and vision for the future, our company culture drives us to be the best in the business, grounded in our All In To Win values.
  • One key to trust is having a pool of talent and resources who are exceptionally competent, capable, and passionate for serving results to our customers.
