Analytics Full Job Description Description:

The Corporate Fleet Manager owns the full lifecycle of Tangent's vehicle and trailer assets — acquisition, maintenance, compliance, and disposal — ensuring the fleet is safe, compliant, and available to support production and distribution needs. The role covers a small local truck fleet, at least one unit operating across state lines (which carries its own federal compliance requirements distinct from local operations), and a mix of owned and leased open and enclosed trailers. The role is also expected to build the policy foundation to extend to a company-owned or leased vehicle program for the sales team as the company grows, without requiring a redesign of the position when that expansion happens.

Requirements:

Role and Responsibilities Manage day-to-day operations of the company's truck and trailer fleet, coordinating availability with production and distribution schedules. Own

DOT/FMCSA

compliance for both local (intrastate) and interstate operations, including IFTA fuel-tax reporting, IRP apportioned registration, ELD compliance, driver qualification files, hours-of-service logs, and DOT drug & alcohol clearinghouse enrollment for any unit operating across state lines. Maintain trailer-specific compliance for owned and leased open and enclosed trailers, including annual DOT inspections, registration/tagging, cargo-securement standards, and condition tracking. Develop and implement fleet safety policies, driver qualification standards, and license/MVR monitoring. Manage vehicle and trailer acquisition, leasing, and disposal, negotiating with dealers, lessors, and vendors. Own the fleet budget — fuel, maintenance, insurance, repairs, and lease costs — and identify total-cost-of-ownership reduction opportunities. Schedule and monitor preventive maintenance and repairs to minimize downtime that could affect delivery commitments.

Maintain accurate fleet records:

mileage, service history, utilization, and compliance/inspection documentation. Manage relationships with fleet vendors, fuel card providers, insurance carriers, leasing companies, and maintenance shops. Monitor driver behavior and safety compliance; flag risk trends proactively. Coordinate accident reporting, claims management, and post-incident vehicle or trailer repairs. Evaluate and recommend new technologies (telematics, fuel management systems). Partner with Production Planning/Scheduling and Sales on delivery vehicle and trailer availability, particularly for OTIF-sensitive lines. Design and administer a company-vehicle policy framework — personal-use rules, assignment criteria, insurance, and tax/imputed-income handling — ahead of a planned sales-team vehicle program, so the fleet can scale without reworking the role. Prepare regular reports on fleet performance, cost, and KPIs for senior leadership. Supervise fleet administrative staff or coordinators, if and when the role's scope requires it. Performs other duties as assigned. Required Skills / Abilities Working knowledge of

DOT/FMCSA

regulations for both intrastate and interstate commercial vehicle operations (IFTA, IRP, ELD, hours-of-service, driver qualification files). Familiarity with trailer-specific compliance — annual inspections, cargo securement, registration — for open and enclosed trailers. Strong vendor negotiation and contract management skills (leasing, fuel, insurance, maintenance). Analytical skills to interpret fleet cost, utilization, and safety data. Proficiency with fleet/telematics management platforms and Excel. Experience designing or administering company-vehicle policies for non-commercial drivers a plus, given the planned sales-fleet expansion. Excellent organizational, communication, and cross-functional coordination skills, particularly with Production Planning/Scheduling and Sales. Education and Experience Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Logistics, Supply Chain, or a related field, or equivalent experience. 3-5+ years of experience in fleet management, transportation/trucking compliance, or logistics operations. Direct experience with interstate/DOT-regulated fleet compliance strongly preferred, given the company's cross-state-line operations. Experience managing a fleet of [X] or more vehicles preferred. Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) or Certified Automotive Fleet Specialist (CAFS) preferred. Physical Requirements Primarily office-based, with occasional travel to inspect vehicles or trailers or visit vendor/maintenance sites. May require occasional after-hours availability for emergency vehicle, trailer, or accident issues. Ability to lift 25 lbs.
