  • Investigate and resolve package-related concerns quickly, including delivery failures, missing items, and shipments requiring age-verification follow-up.
  • Track package movement and status updates throughout the delivery cycle to ensure issues are identified and addressed promptly.
  • Schedule independent contract drivers and align staffing levels with daily volume demands to maintain reliable service coverage.
  • Monitor live communication channels and respond to operational messages to support drivers and warehouse activity in real time.
  • Review proof-of-delivery images and related documentation to confirm completion standards and identify discrepancies.
  • Experience in dispatching, logistics coordination, or transportation operations.
