Make a difference
We expanded our network into the Pacific Northwest about two years ago to better serve our many customers in Oregon and Washington. We're adding this role to ensure our carriers deliver the high standards of service that our customers have come to expect.

Professional development
You will grow your skills and experience in this role. Succession planning is part of our commitment to our valued employees. We expect the Pacific Northwest business to grow, and strong performance could set you up for an expanded role. You also may pursue other opportunities in our organization.

Growth and stability
Weber Logistics' growth in both revenue and real estate has been consistently strong for years, even during the COVID pandemic. Combine that growth with 124 years of business success, and you can be secure knowing your job is safe today, tomorrow and well into the future.

Best of both worlds
You'll enjoy the stability and resources of an established industry leader alongside the flexibility and nimbleness of a family-owned business that is not bogged down in bureaucracy. For example, while many 3PLs use manual processes, we are a data-rich company with the tools, resources and detailed information to deliver critical reports and other customer requirements.

Strong Compensation
In addition to a competitive wage and overtime opportunities, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, FSA, long-term disability and life insurance, a 401(k) with company match, paid vacation, paid sick, and ten paid holidays per year.
