    • The CSD will diligently manage the carrier performance metrics and ensure the necessary actions are taken with either carriers or internal staff to achieve desired results.
    • With either direct involvement or through other brokerage leaders, the CSD will ensure that regularly scheduled carrier reviews are conducted to support proactive carrier management addressing the needs of the Logistics carriers and the business.

    Carrier programs and Data Management

    • The CSD will work collaboratively with internal resources to develop roll out and ensure the utilization of, carrier programs. Carrier programs will support the overall carrier development & loyalty initiatives.
    • By researching what programs are being offered in the marketplace, the CSD will work to position Bison Logistics as a preferred 3PL to current and future carriers.
