Job Description
This is a HYBRID Opportunity! We are a growing Specialized ( Oversize, RGN, Step Deck etc .) OTR transportation company investing in safety and looking for the right Transportation / Fleet Safety Manager to join our team in Rowlett, TX. About the Role We want to build a disciplined fleet with strong safety at its core, while keeping high driver morale and positive relationships. You will implement and lead a modern safety program that helps our drivers succeed and allows us to win better-paying freight from top shippers (so drivers don't feel pressure to push limits or violate hours-of-service rules). What You'll Do Build and roll out a comprehensive safety program fully aligned with current FMCSA regulations. Coach and guide drivers with a positive, supportive approach, focusing on corrective behavior and development rather than aggressive enforcement. Conduct training, investigations, audits, and safety communications. Build strong relationships with drivers and help foster a positive work atmosphere. Enforce clear safety rules and thresholds while maintaining trust and morale.
Help translate our vision:
Strong safety performance = better business = better earnings for everyone. What We're Looking For 10+ years in the trucking industry. 5+ years specifically in safety management (recent experience preferred). Strong, current knowledge of FMCSA rules and regulations. Flatbed experience is a big plus (refrigerated or dry van experience also welcome). Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a very strong preference. A positive, energetic leader who builds driver buy-in instead of running people off. What We Offer Medical, dental, vision, life and disability coverage. Generous PTO (4 weeks) and paid holidays. Opportunity to make an immediate impact in a stable, growing small company with direct owner involvement. If you're an experienced safety professional who leads with positivity, builds strong driver relationships, and knows how to implement real safety programs, we want to hear from you. Apply today with your resume and a brief note on your safety leadership style.
