Job summary

Maersk Ground Freight is seeking a Driver Manager in Kansas City, MO to own onboarding, training, and day-to-day performance of our delivery teams. This hands-on, on-site role focuses on safe, capable, and productive delivery personnel from onboarding through solo routes.

The position requires prior driver-truck experience, heavy-bulky delivery expertise, and knowledge of DOT regulations. Applicants must pass background checks and maintain training records.

Qualifications

• Time on a delivery truck in heavy-bulky or appliance delivery is the most important qualification for this role.
• Appliance and heavy-bulky installation experience, including in-home delivery.
• Experience onboarding, certifying or training commercial drivers.
• Working knowledge of DOT regulations and hours of service.
• Valid driver's license and acceptable motor vehicle record.
• Current DOT medical certification, or ability to obtain.
• Must clear First Advantage background screening and all customer-required screening prior to onboarding.
• Comfortable coaching adults, including people who have been driving longer than they have.
• Strong written and verbal communication, and the organization to maintain a training record that stands up to review.

Responsibilities

• Own the onboarding of every new delivery associate at the site, from first day through release to solo route.
• Deliver behind-the-wheel certification on box truck equipment and confirm each associate meets the standard before running a route unsupervised.
• Train associates on appliance and heavy-bulky delivery execution, including in-home handling, product and property protection, assembly, and customer interaction.
• Train associates on the handheld and delivery application, confirming competency rather than attendance.
• Train and reinforce DOT rules and regulations, hours of service, and pre-trip and post-trip inspection.
• Own safety, damage prevention and claims prevention for the employee delivery teams at the site.
• Manage day-to-day performance of the delivery associates: coaching, ride-alongs, corrective action and retention.
• Maintain the training and certification record for every associate, so status is evidenced rather than remembered.
• Own tool, uniform, handheld and equipment readiness for the delivery teams.
• Partner with site leadership and recruiting on candidate evaluation, interviewing and pipeline for the delivery teams.
