  • Monitor fleet performance and maintenance schedules to minimize downtime.
  • Coordinate preventative maintenance and repairs for trucks and trailers; track service records.
  • Manage driver hours of service, logs, and compliance with DOT and company safety policies.
  • Maintain accurate records of mileage, fuel, maintenance costs, and truck usage.
  • Optimize logistics costs while maintaining service reliability and driver satisfaction.

  • Participate in hiring, onboarding, and evaluating drivers and maintenance vendors.
  • Continuously improve logistics processes to enhance service reliability and reduce costs.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in fleet management, dispatch, or logistics operations (trucking or manufacturing environment preferred).
  • Proven leadership experience managing drivers or transportation teams.
  • Strong understanding of DOT regulations and fleet safety compliance.
  • Working knowledge of routing, scheduling, and logistics planning.
  • Mechanical aptitude or experience coordinating truck/trailer maintenance.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel and basic logistics or maintenance tracking software.
  • CDL license a plus (not required but helpful for credibility and understanding).

Who You Are

  • Detail-oriented, reliable, and disciplined with strong follow-through.
  • A people-first leader who values relationships with drivers and team members.
  • Committed to safety, efficiency, and operational excellence every day.

Compensation & Benefits
