About the Team

The primary responsibility of the Logistics Modeling team is to intelligently and efficiently plan how CarMax moves vehicles across its nationwide network. Each year, CarMax completes over 2 million vehicle moves, and our data scientists develop algorithms that determine which moves are executed by CarMax and which are handled by third-party logistics partners. For the moves CarMax completes, the team generates detailed plans specifying exactly which vehicles each driver will transport and when. To be successful, these plans must optimize efficiency while ensuring vehicles arrive on time to meet customer and operational needs.

Purpose of the Role

CarMax relies on algorithms to efficiently move vehicles across our network of 200+ stores, ensuring optimal routes, driver utilization, and on-time delivery while minimizing transportation costs. Doing so ensures that we have the right cars at the right prices at the right time and place to meet our customers’ needs. As we continue to innovate our business and shift more of our buying and selling online, we increasingly need to make these decisions quickly with less human intervention. Our team of data scientists plays a critical role in unlocking the business value from these innovations.
