What We're Looking For We are looking for a manager who takes ownership of the entire on-site operation, not someone who simply supervises employees from an office. The ideal candidate is visible, engaged, organized, and comfortable holding employees accountable. This individual should know what is happening throughout the operation, recognize and address problems quickly, communicate concerns effectively, and ensure employees consistently follow established procedures. The right candidate will be able to balance people management, operational oversight, safety, customer service, trailer accountability, and accurate reporting while keeping a busy transportation operation running efficiently. If you have leadership experience in transportation, trucking, logistics, warehousing, dispatch, fleet, or yard operations and are ready to take ownership of an on-site operation, we encourage you to apply.
