How does a virtual assistant work for logistics?
Freight admin follows the truck: a load books, a rate con arrives, the driver picks up, a POD gets signed, the packet goes to the broker or the factoring company, and the driver gets settled. Each step has a document, and each missing document holds up cash. Your assistant works that chain every day inside your TMS, your load boards and your fuel card portal, and reports at the end of the shift with loads billed, documents outstanding and who owes what. Dispatch and tracking sit with TransportBPO when you want them, on the same shift, so office and road speak to each other.
