The Truckload Solutions Analyst supports two forms of RFP activity at Echo.

First, our client sales teams participate in hundreds of shipper-issued RFPs for truckload service per year. The analyst provides material support throughout the RFP process to ensure that the sales strategies are executed correctly, cost estimates are as accurate as possible, and that the RFP portal tools used by clients are operated effectively.

Second, the analyst supports the Contractual Sourcing Group, which procures truckload capacity at higher volumes than day-to-day spot market activity, in particular procured via Echo-issued RFPs to Truckload carriers.

For both forms of RFP activity, the team provides reporting to our Client and Carrier Sales management & leadership teams along with supporting any ad hoc analysis requests.
