A Better Way to Hire a Logistics Coordinator

Shipping problems compound while nobody is watching. A stalled container sits for days before anyone notices, carrier invoices with billing errors get paid without question, and your customer service team drowns in delivery questions your operations side cannot answer quickly. Hiring locally means $60K+ for a role that is hard to fill and harder to keep. Our model closes that gap by placing an experienced coordinator on your freight in weeks, at a fraction of that cost.

Every candidate passes structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation like resolving a misrouted shipment against a deadline, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment. When you hire a logistics coordinator through us, they are working inside your shipping platforms, carrier portals, and tracking sheets within 30 days, and we handle employment contracts, payroll, and HR admin end to end.

What does a Logistics Coordinator do?

A logistics coordinator owns the movement of your goods, tracking every shipment, managing every carrier, and fixing exceptions before customers feel them.

  • Book and track shipments across carriers, keeping every order's status current from pickup to proof of delivery
  • Collect and compare freight quotes so each lane ships at a sensible rate instead of whatever was quoted first
  • Handle delivery exceptions, chasing carriers on delays, damages, and misroutes before customers escalate
  • Prepare shipping documentation, labels, bills of lading, and customs paperwork so freight moves without holds

When is it time to Hire a Logistics Coordinator?

The signal to hire a logistics coordinator is usually the same everywhere: your team hears about shipping problems from customers before they see them in any system.

Your team finds out shipments are late when customers email to ask where their order is

Carrier invoices go unaudited, and you suspect you are paying for errors and phantom surcharges

One person handles all shipping questions, and deliveries grind down whenever they are out

Peak season turns your operation into a scramble because tracking and booking are still manual

How much does it cost to Hire a Logistics Coordinator?

Hiring a logistics coordinator locally typically costs $5,000 to $7,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time logistics coordinator working directly inside your shipping platforms, carrier portals, and order systems.

Hiring locally
$5Kโ€“$7K/mo
Salary, benefits, and overhead factored in

Contracts, payroll, benefits, and HR admin all stay with us. The value builds month over month, because when you hire a logistics coordinator who knows your lanes, carriers, and failure points, exceptions get resolved in hours instead of days.

Common Questions

How fast can a logistics coordinator start?
Most are fully onboarded within 30 days, covering matching, interviews with your team, and ramp-up into your carriers, shipping platforms, and documentation flows.
What experience do they bring?
Typically 3 to 7+ years coordinating domestic and international freight for ecommerce brands, distributors, or forwarders, with hands-on exception management and carrier negotiation experience.
How are they screened?
Through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation such as rerouting a delayed shipment with a hard delivery date, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment.
Can they talk to our carriers and forwarders directly?
Yes. Coordinators manage carrier relationships day to day, booking freight, chasing updates, disputing invoices, and filing claims under guidelines you set together during onboarding.
Will they cover our shipping hours?
Yes. We match to your time zone, and coverage can be arranged for early cutoffs or late pickups if your operation runs beyond standard hours.
What tools do they know?
Common platforms include ShipStation, Flexport, project44, AfterShip, NetSuite, Excel, and Google Sheets. We match candidates to the shipping and ERP stack you already use.
Why not leave this to our 3PL or forwarder?
Your 3PL manages its own performance, and nobody audits themselves well. A dedicated coordinator inside your team tracks every partner, questions every invoice, and represents your interests only.
