Overview:
We are hiring a freight factoring Business Development Officer in the most freight-diverse market in the United States.

Drayage carriers, oilfield haulers, and long-haul OTR operators all run on this market – and virtually all of them are waiting 30 to 60 days to get paid. Your territory, your book, your opportunity.

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in transportation officer jobs.
- Knowledge of federal transportation regulations and DOT compliance requirements
- Experience coordinating freight, cargo, or fleet movements across multiple modes
- Proficiency with transportation management systems or logistics software platforms
- Active security clearance or demonstrated ability to obtain one
- Bachelor's degree in logistics, supply chain, criminal justice, or a related field
- Experience conducting inspections, audits, or enforcement actions in a transportation setting
Tips for Your Transportation Officer Job Search
Tailor your resume to clearance requirements
Many transportation officer postings require a security clearance or the ability to obtain one. Call out your clearance level, sponsoring agency, and investigation date prominently so hiring managers can quickly confirm eligibility before reading further.
Quantify movement volume and asset accountability
Hiring managers want numbers: how many shipments you coordinated per month, how many vehicles or containers you tracked, or how large a fleet you managed. Replace vague phrases like 'managed logistics' with figures that show real operational scale.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists transportation officer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter postings by regulatory jurisdiction
Transportation officer roles split sharply between DOT-regulated civilian work and DOD or DHS enforcement positions. Identify which regulatory environment your experience sits in and filter your search to match, since crossover hiring is less common than it appears.
Prepare scenario answers around incident response
Interviewers for transportation officer roles consistently ask how you have handled delayed shipments, compliance violations, or hazmat incidents. Build two or three concrete examples that walk through the problem, your decision, and the resolution.
Negotiate duty station and shift differential early
Many transportation officer positions involve rotating shifts or remote duty stations that affect real compensation. Confirm duty location, shift structure, and any applicable differential pay before accepting an offer, since these details rarely appear in the original posting.
Transportation Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most transportation officers?
The companies hiring the most transportation officers right now include Compass Holding, Leidos, and Millenia Aero, with the largest share of openings in Illinois, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Defense contractors and federal civilian agencies consistently account for a large portion of active postings.
How many transportation officer jobs are remote?
About 67% of transportation officer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than most professional roles because physical inspection and site oversight are core duties. Policy coordination, compliance analysis, and planning functions are the sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements.
How do you become a transportation officer?
Start by earning a degree in logistics, supply chain management, criminal justice, or a closely related field. Build hands-on experience through internships, military service, or entry-level roles in freight coordination or regulatory compliance. Pursue certifications in transportation safety or hazardous materials handling, and if federal positions interest you, establish or maintain a security clearance.
Can you get hired as a transportation officer with little or no experience?
Yes, some entry-level transportation officer roles are open to candidates without direct experience, particularly within federal agencies that offer structured training programs. Military logistics service, volunteer emergency management work, or coursework in supply chain operations can substitute for professional experience. Focus applications on roles that explicitly label themselves as trainee, junior, or developmental positions.
What does the transportation officer interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a phone screen covering your background and regulatory knowledge, followed by one or two structured interviews that use behavioral and scenario-based questions about compliance decisions and incident management. Federal agency postings often add a written assessment or structured panel interview. Background and security checks run concurrently with later stages and can extend the overall timeline.
Where can I find and apply to transportation officer jobs?
You can find and apply to transportation officer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and location preferences.
