Job description

Drayage Terminal Manager | Owner-Operator Fleet | Customer Book Required

Type: Full-Time | Comp: Base + GP Performance Bonus

A 3PL expanding into asset drayage is looking for a Terminal Manager who comes with the relationships already built — on both sides of the freight equation.

You're who we're looking for if:

• You have owner-operators in your network who trust you and will follow you
• You have shipper relationships in retail consumer goods, pharmaceutical, or automotive
• You understand drayage inside and out — ports, rails, chassis pools, free time, last free day
• You’ve either launched a terminal or been close enough to the launch to know exactly what it takes
• You want equity in the outcome — not just a salary

Responsibilities:

• Recruit, onboard, and manage a fleet of owner-operators
• Develop and grow shipper accounts in target verticals
• Own daily operations: dispatch, compliance, customer service, P&L
• Build the team and the systems around you as volume grows

5+ years in drayage operations or terminal management required. Existing carrier and/or customer relationships strongly preferred.
