Questions from Chicago

Chicago is a city in Illinois. It keeps Central Time (CST or CDT), which is UTC−6 or UTC−5. Chicago changes its clocks for daylight saving, so the overlap with some of our hubs moves by an hour for part of the year.

Load confirmations, carrier follow-up, document chasing and customer updates. A Freight Brokerage Coordinator or Dispatcher works in your TMS and inbox on your hours.

Yes. An Insurance Services Assistant handles quotes, certificate requests and renewals in your agency system. Your licensed staff keep the advice and the binding decisions.

Yes. Accounts Payable, Procurement and Data Entry roles work in your ERP or spreadsheets, and a Technical Writer can keep work instructions and manuals current.

A Research Assistant for market and source work, a Project Manager for deliverables, or an Executive Assistant for partner diaries. Tell us what slows the team down on your demo.

You set the hours. The Colombia hub shares 7-8 hours of a Chicago 9-to-5, and we match people who can start earlier or finish later to suit your day.

Trading decisions, licensed advice and anything physical on the dock or the floor. A Seat does the paperwork and tracking around them.

A Procurement Specialist, Inventory Planner or Accounts Payable Specialist works in your ERP and sheets. Your plant team keeps quality and production.

A local admin in the US costs US$16 an hour at entry level, up to US$45.38 for a senior executive assistant, before benefits and payroll taxes. A local mid-level admin costs US$22.86 an hour; an Intermediate admin Seat is US$9 an hour, all-in. (BLS OEWS pay for admin assistants and executive assistants, May 2025. National figures for the US, not Chicago wages.)

Medical Billing Specialists, Insurance Verification Specialists and Medical Receptionists handle claims, eligibility and scheduling. Tell us the systems and any access rules on your demo.

Freight peaks in the last quarter before the holidays, and trading desks have quarter-end and year-end reporting. A Seat added a month ahead can clear the confirmations and report prep while your people work the market.

Week one is your TMS access, load templates and carrier contact rules. After that the person works a daily follow-up list and sends an end-of-day summary of what is open.

List your TMS or load board, ERP, accounting package and the spreadsheets that hold the real data. We match people who have used similar systems, and you decide the permissions each person gets.

A Freight Brokerage Coordinator is often followed by a Dispatcher, then an Accounts Payable Specialist as volume grows. Insurance agencies add a Customer Service Representative after an Insurance Services Assistant.

Melbourne is 15-17 hours ahead of Chicago. Our head office is there, and your person works on your Chicago hours, not ours.

Seats start at US$4 an hour, all-in, full time (38 hours a week). The four levels run up to US$35 an hour for a Specialist. You see the hourly price before you meet anyone.

No. We're a remote team that works on your hours, and every call and demo is on Teams. Our head office is in Melbourne.

We do. We hire your person and supply them to you under our services agreement, so you are not their employer and there is no payroll on your side. You direct the work and you own what they make.
