About the Role

We’re looking for a Pricing Analyst to support our commercial organization by developing accurate, competitive, and operationally sound pricing for drayage and intermodal freight opportunities. This role plays a critical part in our bid and RFP process, ensuring pricing reflects real market conditions, internal cost structures, and the operational realities of port- and rail-centric freight.

  • Utilize internal cost models and industry tools to price short-haul and port-centric lanes accurately

  • Evaluate margin impact and ensure pricing aligns with profitability and network strategy

  • Monitor market dynamics, congestion patterns, capacity shifts, and competitor pricing

Bid & RFP Support

  • Prepare and review pricing for bids, RFQs, and RFPs with a focus on intermodal and containerized freight

  • Ensure pricing submissions meet customer requirements, service expectations, and deadlines

  • Partner with Sales, Operations, and other stakeholders to deliver accurate, executable proposals

  • Analyze win/loss results and provide recommendations to improve competitiveness and bid strategy

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Sales, Operations, Capacity, and Finance to validate pricing assumptions

  • Help determine which freight opportunities align best with our drayage network and operational capabilities

  • Support internal teams with pricing insights, scenario analysis, and recommendations

Documentation & Process Improvement

  • Maintain pricing documentation, templates, and bid records

  • Support continuous improvement of pricing tools, processes, and cost models as the business scales

  • Proficiency in Excel (modeling, analysis, scenario evaluation)

  • Excellent organization, communication, and time-management skills

  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience pricing drayage and/or intermodal containerized freight

  • Familiarity with port operations, terminals, chassis providers, and appointment-based workflows

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
