Job Description
As an International Operations Agent, you will be operationally responsible for managing all aspects of international air and ocean shipments from start to finish. This includes booking shipments, coordinating with overseas agents, customer communication, exception management, and cradle-to-grave tracking of freight. You will ensure high levels of customer satisfaction by providing professional service and timely, accurate updates. You’ll work closely with Omni’s US offices and global partners to deliver seamless logistics solutions.
This position requires a detail-oriented, organized, and proactive individual who can manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Core Responsibilities & Duties
Since 1990, Forward Air has been a leading provider of ground transportation and related logistics services to the North American air freight and expedited LTL market. We offer surface shipping on an accelerated “time-definite” basis, delivering cargo at a specific time, but under less time-sensitive situations – supplying you with a cost effective, reliable alternative to air transportation. We work with companies of all sizes to develop tangible advantages and build the best products to meet your specific needs. Forward Air presents to the wholesale transportation community (logistics companies, freight forwarders, integrated air cargo carriers, passenger/ cargo airlines, and non-traditional shippers), a single-source provider that can deliver more supply chain services and a superior menu of choices. Throughout the years we have added supplementary lines to our linehaul service, such as full truckload operations (Truckload Services), final-mile coverage (Complete® Cartage), and an Airline Logistics program, and we will continue to expand our services to meet the changing needs and growth of our customer base.
Forward Air is structured to optimize both savings and service to our customers. Direct partnerships with owner-operators and other surface transportation providers, enable us to remain cost-competitive. The Forward Air network is designed with over 90 facilities located at or near major U.S. and Canadian airports, 12 regional sort centers and over 300 beyond points (secondary airports provided through our Complete Cartage service), creating one of the most comprehensive linehaul networks in the industry.
