Freight cost per shipment, on-time delivery rate, dollars saved through a carrier bid renegotiation: these are the numbers a logistics manager screens resumes for first. A line that says "coordinated shipments" tells them nothing they cannot assume; a line with a number attached shows what your coordination actually produced.
McLeod, SAP TM, DAT, EDI: a hiring manager checking for system overlap wants the exact tools, not "logistics software." If you have handled customs documentation or international freight, say so explicitly, since it is a different skill set than domestic trucking coordination.
These signal a level of formal supply chain training that a self-taught coordinator often lacks on paper, and they are frequently listed as preferred in job postings for this role. List each with the certifying body and year.
A common mistake is a bullet list of daily tasks: tracked shipments, updated spreadsheets, communicated with carriers. Rewrite each one around the result: fewer disputed invoices, faster carrier onboarding, lower freight spend, higher on-time delivery.
One page for anyone under roughly seven years of experience. Two pages becomes reasonable once you have moved into a senior coordinator or manager role, or have a certification and carrier-network history long enough that cutting it would remove information a hiring manager actually needs.
Related experience counts, and many logistics coordinators move in from dispatch, customer service or warehouse roles without a supply chain degree. If you do not have one, lead with your carrier relationships, TMS experience and any measurable results, and list a certification like CLA or CLTD to show formal training if you have pursued one.
Say so plainly rather than implying you acted alone: "contributed to a carrier bid renegotiation that cut freight cost per shipment by 12%" or "part of a 3-person team that rebuilt the carrier scorecard process." A hiring manager reads team-based language as honest, not weaker.
