Job Description The On Call Logistics Coordinator serves as a central point of contact for after-hours freight operations, ensuring shipments are tracked, carriers are supported, and issues are resolved quickly.

- Answer incoming calls to the after-hours line and assist carriers, agents, customers, and installers with any questions or issues.
- Monitor the after-hours email inbox.
- Normal evening activities are permitted between scheduled check-ins and calls.
On Call / Overnight (approx. 10:00/11:00 PM – 6:00 AM)- Remain available to answer any incoming calls throughout the night.
