Backhaul Direct has developed an extensive part-time, paid internship program to expose interns to all areas of our business with the hopes of adding qualified, trained members to our growing staff.
Our goal is that participants will obtain an overall understanding of the logistics industry while identifying their personal strengths and interests within the company. The job duties will be similar to those of full-time staff members providing hands on experience and valuable skills for future career success.
