• Prepare professional quotes and proposals covering transportation, permits, escorts, specialized equipment, insurance requirements, standby, storage, and other project-related services.
• Promote the company’s asset-based transportation capabilities while using brokerage resources to provide additional capacity and support.
• Identify opportunities to self-perform high-value freight using company-owned tractors and specialized trailers.
• Cross-sell related company services, including crane services, rigging, machinery moving, millwrighting, warehousing, and project support.
• Maintain regular communication with customers throughout the sales and project lifecycle.
• Conduct job walks, customer visits, and project planning meetings when necessary.
