These deep, trusted carrier relationships added committed capacity, high-volume freight programs, drop and hook capabilities and more consistent performance to ArcBest’s already robust truckload network. ArcBest’s large customer base also gave these carriers access to more consistent freight to keep their trucks moving — a win-win situation. The Business Development Representative position is a position within the ArcBest Company, however it is located in the MoLo office in Chicago.
