Trinity Logistics Careers: Find Your Perfect Fit

What’s a BDR? What does LS mean? What does an Account Manager do?

If these terms sound foreign to you, don’t worry. You’re not alone! Our Recruiting Team often fields these kinds of questions from those interested in Trinity Logistics careers.

Trinity Logistics is a nationwide company supporting thousands of shippers, carriers, and hundreds of Freight Agents. Over the years our Team size has grown to properly serve these needs, resulting in the expansive Trinity Team we have today!

While that alone may be overwhelming, it means we have MANY opportunities for you to find your ideal career here! But fear not; we’re here to break it all down and help you find your perfect fit.

Sales and Operations

At the core of Trinity Logistics is the mission to arrange shipments between shippers and carriers. This is where most people will start their journey with us. They are our largest Teams and most often have job openings. These positions are also a great starting point if you’re new to the logistics industry.

Typically, roles in this department work with one of our two core clients—either shippers or carriers.

Sales – Shipper Focused Roles

Do you enjoy a little competition? Are you interested in having unlimited commission potential on top of a base salary? A sales career path at Trinity may be for you!

Most begin their journey in sales as a Business Development Representative (BDR). This role focuses on lead generation through prospecting, building, and maintaining shipper relationships.

With experience and skill development, BDRs can advance into the Account Executive title, where their primary task is to keep and grow existing accounts. Career growth opportunities include Business Development Team Lead or Sales Executive.

Operations – Carrier Focused Roles

Are you a great negotiator? Do you enjoy creating strong connections while providing stellar communication? If you love seeing through a task from start to finish, our Operations track could be just for you!

Many Team Members start as Logistics Specialists (LS) or Logistics Assistants. These roles primarily book shipments with carriers, build and maintain their carrier relationships, track and trace shipments, solve problems, and maintain open and timely communication.

After gaining experience and meeting performance goals, LSs can advance to positions like Carrier Sales Representative, Account Manager, Operations Team Lead, or even Director of Operations.

Consider yourself more of a night owl? Awesome! We also have an After-Hours Team offering you unique, around-the-clock opportunities.

Administrative Services

Do you love providing people with a great experience? If making someone’s jaw drop from your sheer excellence and attention to detail motivates you, then our Administrative careers will bring you the satisfaction you seek.

Our Administrative roles are the second most commonly hired positions at Trinity. These roles handle back-end office tasks or projects and are crucial in maintaining our exceptional customer service while assisting our overall operations.

Teams that may need roles filled occasionally can include Billing, Accounts Receivable, and Customer Service. These Team Members will assist our Carrier relationships with getting paid, invoice our Shipper customers, help our Claims Team as needed, and create an all-around positive experience for our clients.

Team Members in these roles can expect to grow into senior and leadership opportunities such as Team Lead or Director.

Technology

Our next largest Team for hiring is Technology. In this day and age, first-class connections and visibility are essential, so these Team Members help provide and support the highest level of available technology software and applications to our internal Team and external clients. Technology Team Members will perform tasks such as developing and supporting our software, analyzing data for better decision-making, and coming up with innovating new solutions.

This Team includes all kinds of tech-savvy roles like Engineers, Analysts, and Data Scientists. Our recruiters are looking for more specialized backgrounds and experience in these roles. Often, we’ll require at least an educational background or prior experience in the technology field.

Career growth opportunities can include promotions to senior and leadership positions.

Other Departments

But that’s not all! We also have many other smaller Teams that, while not hiring as frequently, are just as vital to our success. These include:

Finance

Manages all financial aspects of the business.

Claims

Handles any potential freight claims, working to resolve shipment issues.

Education

Provides training and development resources to empower Team Members and enhance skills.
