L&L Wood Hauling is seeking an experienced Fleet Service Manager to lead maintenance operations for a fleet of approximately 40–50 Mack and Volvo trucks and 60 wood chip and log trailers running throughout North Florida.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands heavy-truck fleet operations — preventative maintenance discipline, breakdown response, technician management, trailer maintenance, and maximizing truck uptime. The right person is a strong operational leader, respected by mechanics and drivers alike, who brings structure, accountability, urgency, and professionalism to the shop.

QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of heavy-duty diesel mechanic experience (15+ strongly preferred)
- Prior experience managing or supervising a truck shop or fleet maintenance operation
- Knowledge of Mack and Volvo trucks preferred
- Experience with technician management, workflow, and preventative-maintenance systems
- Ability to diagnose and prioritize mechanical issues effectively
- Strong organizational and leadership skills; able to hold people accountable while keeping a positive shop
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) strongly preferred — daily interaction with English- and Spanish-speaking mechanics, drivers, and vendors
- CDL preferred but not required
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Someone who understands the urgency of keeping trucks moving, can lead technicians and hold people accountable, can organize and improve shop operations, is comfortable making decisions and managing priorities, and wants to build a long-term role inside a growing operation.
