• Build lasting relationships with drivers post-hire to support retention and address early concerns
• Track requisition pipelines and hiring metrics across multiple open roles simultaneously
• Monitor competitor postings and market pay rates (e.g., NFI, Central Transport, Comprehensive Logistics, Centerline Drivers) to stay competitive in sourcing

Requirements

• 3 to 5 years in safety & training (transportation industry preferred)
