Job description

About the Role:
We’re looking for someone to help us find, analyze, and buy the right trucks and trailers for our business. The focus is on making smart, financially sound decisions-not just negotiating deals. You don’t need deep trucking experience; we’ll show you the ropes.

What You’ll Do:

• Find and analyze deals for trucks and trailers-always focusing on what’s best for our business financially.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with trusted vendors; negotiate prices, warranties, payment terms, and delivery schedules.
• Handle the full purchase process: gather fleet needs, get and compare quotes, check vendor backgrounds, and present recommendations for approval.
• Make sure every purchase follows our internal checklist (admin, financial, legal steps) and is fully documented.
• Oversee delivery: work with the yard manager to check that delivered equipment matches what we ordered, and quickly sort out any issues with vendors.
• Keep everything compliant-track warranties, contracts, invoices, and make sure we meet all legal and safety standards.
• Enter all new trucks and trailers into our TMS (fleet system) with complete, accurate data-no missing info.
• Use our tools (TMS, accounting software, procurement platforms) to keep everything organized and up to date.
• Stay on top of market trends, find the best deals, and compare leasing vs. buying options.
• Regularly report what’s been purchased, summarize costs, and flag any vendor or invoice issues.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong with numbers and financial analysis (Excel / Gsheets, cost comparisons, ROI).
• Good at negotiating but always focused on the bigger financial picture.
• Organized and detail-oriented-especially with documentation and data entry.
• Comfortable using software (TMS, accounting, procurement tools).
• Curious and open to learning about the trucking industry.
• Team player who communicates clearly and works well with others.
