3. Technology Savvy: You're comfortable utilizing transportation management software, including our BTX Ship platform, and are proficient in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, Word).
4. Problem-Solver Extraordinaire: You're highly organized, detail-minded, and possess strong problem-solving and decision-making skills. You anticipate challenges and proactively seek "one step ahead" solutions.
