  • Build a Team: Recruit, train, and mentor drivers and clerical/maintenance staff. Create a positive, safety-first culture.
  • Own the Budget: Prepare and manage departmental budgets and control operating costs — fuel, maintenance, and more.
  • Maintain the Fleet: Keep our trucks, trailers, and equipment inspection-ready and looking sharp — we’re a rolling billboard!

  • Operational Acumen: Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint). You know how to analyze data and make smart calls.
  • Leadership & Accountability: You lead by example, own your outcomes, and know how to get the best out of your team — whether during onboarding, performance reviews, or tough conversations.
  • Detail-Oriented: You catch what others miss and take pride in getting it right.
  • Strong Communicator: Whether it’s coaching a driver, handling a customer complaint, or writing up a report — you’re clear, concise, and professional.
  • Safety First Mindset: You promote a culture of safety and lead proactive audits, training, and incident response.
  • Team Builder: You know how to spot great talent, train them up, and build a team that runs like a well-oiled machine.
