-
Scheduling, workflow planning, and performance metrics to maximize shop output
-
Parts inventory oversight, stock control, and purchasing decisions
-
A clean, organized, professional shop environment that reflects the quality of your team
You’re not just running a shop — you’re shaping the culture, performance, and reputation of Leonard’s Express. Your leadership directly impacts:
-
Fleet readiness
-
Driver satisfaction
-
Customer service
-
Safety performance
-
Financial results
If you take pride in running a tight, efficient, professional shop, you’ll thrive here.

-
Experience as a diesel shop manager or foreman (required)

Strong leadership presence — you set expectations and hold the team accountable

Ability to coach, train, and develop technicians

Advanced knowledge of Class A heavy diesel trucks and reefer trailers
