FAQ from this listing

Is this remote?

No. The listing is on-the-road truck driving (remote flag is 0), not a work-from-home role.

What does Forward Air do?

Press and market coverage treat Forward Air Corporation as a freight/logistics company (including LTL/expedited themes), not the military “forward air control” Wikipedia topic that was mismatched in the feed.

Where is the role based?

The job text cites Lewiston, Nez Perce County; enricher location data maps Lewiston to Androscoggin County, Maine—confirm the exact domicile with the employer.
