Key Responsibilities

Oversee and direct all daily transportation operations, including load planning, dispatch, scheduling, and real-time problem resolution.
Lead and manage the team of dispatchers, driver managers, and equipment technicians, including performance management, coaching, scheduling, and accountability.
Manage driver workforce: hiring support, orientation coordination, performance management, retention, communication, and discipline consistent with company standards and FMCSA regulations.
Optimize driver and equipment utilization, including tractor and trailer assignment, maintenance coordination, and maximizing loaded miles while controlling empty miles and detention.
Ensure accurate and timely use of the company’s Transportation Management System (TMS) and related software for load tracking, document management, ELD compliance, and operational reporting.
Maintain strong working knowledge of trucks, trailers, and related equipment to support troubleshooting, inspections, and coordination with maintenance and equipment technicians.
Drive on-time performance, safety compliance, and customer service excellence through proactive communication with drivers, customers, and internal teams.
Monitor key performance indicators (on-time delivery, utilization, safety metrics, cost per mile, etc.) and implement continuous improvement actions.
Collaborate with the President on operational strategy, capacity planning, and process improvements.
Enforce company policies, safety standards, and regulatory compliance across the operation.
Lead by example in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment focused on results and professional culture.

Familiarity with Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and related transportation software platforms.
Working knowledge of commercial trucks, trailers, and equipment.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to lead, coach, and hold people accountable.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a 24/7 operational environment.
High school diploma or equivalent required; additional education or professional certifications a plus.
Must be able to work full-time on-site at the Watsontown, PA corporate offices with no remote work option.
Valid driver’s license and ability to pass a background check and drug screen.

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience managing a multi-driver truckload fleet and operational support teams.
Knowledge of FMCSA regulations, ELDs, hours-of-service, and safety compliance.
Experience with performance metrics, cost control, and operational reporting.
Demonstrated ability to improve retention, utilization, and service levels.
