What role does the LAE/LAET have in setting up a new carrier?

The role of the LAE (Logistics Account Executive) or LAET (Logistics Account Executive Trainee) in setting up a new carrier involves explaining the requirements for the carrier to be compliant and adding the carriers to the maintenance system. This process ensures that the new carrier meets all necessary regulations and standards before they can begin operating. It involves a clear explanation of what is expected from the carrier in terms of compliance, safety, and operational protocols.

Additionally, the LAE/LAET plays a critical role in facilitating communication between the company and the carrier, guiding them through the onboarding process, and ensuring that all required documentation and information are submitted correctly. This function is vital in establishing a working relationship with the carrier, which can lead to enhanced performance and reliability in logistics operations.
