Manager: Shipping/Receiving/Traffic
The shipping manager coordinates the movement of raw materials and finished products
between vendors, company facilities, and customers and participates in carrier
negotiations and selections. The receiving manager focuses on inbound materials and their
integration into the business operation upon arrival. The traffic manager generally
oversees both shipping and receiving activities and trains and manages traffic department
personnel. Advancement to warehouse/terminal/distribution manager is a natural career
path for those with good skills and experience.
