job detail
Carrier Onboarding Specialist
Full-Time, On-site
Philadelphia, PA
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Ordering Base Inc. is a Philadelphia-based truck dispatching company founded in 2023. We support owner-operators and small fleets across the United States with load booking, rate negotiation, route planning, broker setup, credit checks, invoicing and 24/7 driver communication. Our dispatchers work load boards and broker networks every day so carriers stay loaded, paperwork stays clean, and money moves after delivery. We are hiring people who take ownership, communicate clearly, and treat every driver like a long-term partner, not a one-off load.
ROLE SUMMARY
Carrier Onboarding Specialist: get authorities ready to haul and keep packets current so dispatch never stalls.
You own the document pipeline from “yes, I want dispatch” to “cleared to book.” Accuracy and speed both matter: missing COIs and expired packets lose good freight. You will work closely with sales, dispatch and brokers every day.
DAY-TO-DAY / SCHEDULE
On-site in Philadelphia during business hours. Heavy email, portal and checklist work with frequent carrier calls.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Collect MC/DOT details, certificates of insurance, W-9s, CDLs, agreements and factoring notices.
• Build and submit complete broker setup packets without missing required fields.
• Track insurance expirations and filings; remind carriers before anything lapses.
• Run broker/shipper credit checks and share clear results with dispatch before booking.
• Maintain organized digital carrier files the whole team can trust.
• Coordinate go-live timing so a new carrier is not waiting idle after approval.
• Answer carrier questions about why each document is required.
• Flag incomplete or high-risk packets early instead of letting them fail at the broker.
• Support re-packets when carriers add equipment or change insurance.
• Keep a weekly aging list of open setups and expirations.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Experience in carrier setup, compliance, logistics admin, insurance certificates or similar detail work.
• Exceptional attention to detail and deadline discipline.
• Strong skills with email, spreadsheets and web portals.
• Clear, patient communication with drivers and office staff.
• On-site in Philadelphia, PA; eligible to work in the U.S.
NICE TO HAVE
• Prior FMCSA / insurance certificate holder experience.
• Familiarity with major broker carrier portals.
• Experience supporting a multi-carrier dispatch desk.
WHAT WE OFFER
• Full-time role with a growing dispatch company headquartered in Philadelphia, PA.
• Hands-on training on load boards, broker portals, rate confirmations, PODs and our internal workflow.
• Clear growth path into senior dispatch, account ownership or team lead as you prove results.
• Direct impact: the loads you book and the issues you solve keep real trucks moving and paid.
• Collaborative team culture with day and night coverage so carriers are never left hanging.
• Competitive pay aligned with performance and responsibility (discussed in the interview process).
