At Einride Logistics, we aren't just moving goods; we are re-engineering the very fabric of the supply chain. As a Regional Planner, you won't just be "dispatching" you will be the architect of a high-performance regional network. You will leverage Einride's proprietary VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) platform, AI-driven agents, and advanced data modeling to transform massive datasets into high-revenue, high-efficiency movements. We are looking for a tech-forward self-starter who thrives where data science meets operational executio
Core Responsibilities
1. Intelligent Network Orchestration
• AI-Driven Load Matching: Use our internal VRP platform and AI agents to manipulate large shipment datasets, identifying the most profitable loads and tenders for multiple ELI hubs.
• Revenue Chasing: Proactively hunt for high-yield freight to maximize the "yield per mile" across the regional network.
• Optimization: Balance "asset-based" capacity with brokerage opportunities, ensuring every mile driven contributes to the bottom line.2. Tactical Forecasting & Balance
• Trend Prediction: Utilize historical data to forecast volume spikes and seasonal surges (e.g., retail peaks or harvest seasons).
• Network Equilibrium: Identify regional imbalances (truck surpluses vs. load deficits) and collaborate with the sales team to secure backhaul freight that repositions assets toward high-demand zones.3. Execution & Driver Success
• Precision Planning: Assign loads based on real-time constraints, including Hours of Service (HOS), driver proximity, and home-time requirements.
• Deadhead Elimination: Relentlessly reduce "empty miles" through strategic routing and backhaul integration.
• Crisis Management: Act as the primary "re-planner" when variables change,
navigating equipment breakdowns, weather events, or port strikes with agile rerouting.4. Carrier Procurement & Relations
• Strategic Sourcing: Identify and vet high-performance third-party carriers to
supplement our internal fleet.
• Negotiation: Master the spot market and contract rates to ensure brokered loads maintain healthy margins.
• Performance Analytics: Use data-driven scorecards to monitor carrier safety and on-time performance.5. Systems & Data Integrity
• TMS Mastery: Maintain real-time accuracy within our TMS (Qargo), ensuring truck locations, driver status, and load updates are flawless.
• KPI Ownership: Monitor and report on critical health metrics, including Operating Ratio, Revenue per Mile, and Tender Acceptance Rates.
What You Bring to the Table:
The Mindset: A self-starter who treats their region like their own business. You are as comfortable talking to a driver as you are analyzing a spreadsheet.The Tech Stack: Experience with modern TMS (Qargo preferred) and a high level of comfort using AI tools and algorithmic routing platforms.The Skills: Strong understanding of logistics operations, HOS regulations, and freight pricing.
-Analytical prowess: The ability to see the "story" in the data and act on it.
