CloudTrucks is the virtual trucking carrier and leading technology and service provider for trucking entrepreneurs. Our mission is simple: to empower truck drivers—one of our nation's most essential workforces—with the tools they need to earn more, stress less, and grow their trucking businesses. We provide a complete business management platform for owner-operators and small trucking carriers, and our world‑class software engineering, data science, and operations processes keep costs low for owner‑operators. As Operations Escalation Lead, you'll be the critical link between our owner‑operators, broker partners, and internal teams when shipments face challenges. You'll leverage our platform and your logistics expertise to resolve complex issues quickly, maintain service quality, and ensure our drivers and broker partners stay confident in CloudTrucks' reliability. When drivers win, we win—and you'll play a key role in making that happen.

Monitor at-risk loads proactively and intervene before issues escalated

Communicate clearly and empathetically with all stakeholders during high-pressure situations

Strong decision-making skills with comfort navigating ambiguous situations and making judgment calls with incomplete information

Strong understanding of FTL operations, driver challenges, and broker requirements

Exceptional communication skills and ability to remain composed under pressure

Strong project management skills with ability to juggle multiple escalations simultaneously and prioritize effectively

Tech-savvy with experience using TMS, dispatch software, or logistics platforms
