  • May 2016 - Present

  I am proud to join the team at Lucent Logistics here in Nashville TN! We are a 3rd party logistics company that is rapidly growing and I couldn't be more pleased to jump on board. The Lucent brand is one of transparency, value, and service. In the brokered freight game, customers' trust is the most valuable asset you can have. Lucent focuses on all the right customer needs and offers a "Cradle-to-the-Grave" service model which ensures the best possible outcome for shippers who need freight moved. I personally specialize in temperature-controlled freight, but also have experience with dry, flatbed/step/RGN, and LTL capacity.

• Temperature Controlled Freight Broker

  • Aug 2015 - May 2016

  I currently work as freight broker within the Temperature Controlled division of Cavalry Logistics. My troop has nationwide coverage and handles all refrigerated, frozen, and temperature controlled loads. This includes extremely volatile, seasonal shipping lanes that are affected by produce and imported consumer goods. Using carrier relationships and in-house software, I focus solely on carrier negotiation and transaction. I average 3-4 hours of phone time daily, 75-100 inbound/outbound calls daily, and 7-10 loads booked per day.

• Dry Van Freight Broker

  • Mar 2015 - Jul 2015

  As a dry van broker at Cavalry Logistics, I worked exclusively in the southeastern region (GA/FL/SC/NC). Cavalry uses an "assembly-line" style logistics process where individuals work in specified positions such as customer procurement, load coordinating, customer service, or tracking. My position focused solely on carrier negotiation and transaction. Since our troop was regional, I was able to gain an in-depth knowledge of dry van shipping rates that are heavily affected by seasonal produce, as well as create and maintain relationships with southeastern carriers within our network in order to streamline the load booking process. I averaged 4-6 hours of phone time daily, 100-140 inbound/outbound total calls daily, and 5-10 loads booked per day.
