Work In Operations
Are you accountable?
Do you like working with numbers? Do you understand the value of goods and services? If you're interested in learning and understanding the financial operations of a trucking company, but are not quite sure where to start, why not consider a position as a Rate Clerk? Working as a Rate Clerk will allow you to take your love for numbers and apply that knowledge directly to a carrier's operation. If you're looking to get into the financial side of the carrier's operations, then this might be the career for you.

How do I get to be a Rate Clerk?
Many Rate Clerks enter the industry directly from high school, and learn on the job. However, the position generally requires some form of post-secondary education in office administration, accounting/bookkeeping or a similar discipline. Additional professional development through courses in transportation and logistics is useful.
