Drive the Future – Lead with Purpose

Are you ready to take the wheel and steer a team toward excellence? We’re looking for a Transportation Manager to oversee Divisional operations (based in Carrollton, Texas). As Transportation Manager, you will lead a dedicated team of drivers and support staff, and ensure our local fleet and processes run smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

• Build a Team: Recruit, train, and mentor drivers and clerical/maintenance staff. Create a positive, safety-first culture.
• Own the Budget: Prepare and manage departmental budgets and control operating costs — fuel, maintenance, and more.
• Maintain the Fleet: Keep our trucks, trailers, and equipment inspection-ready and looking sharp — we’re a rolling billboard!
  
  

What Makes You a Great Fit?

• CDL – Class A: Required, and you're confident behind the wheel or behind the scenes.
• Regulatory Know-How: Deep knowledge of DOT regulations, driver qualification files, and safety compliance.
• Operational Acumen: Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint). You know how to analyze data and make smart calls.
• Leadership & Accountability: You lead by example, own your outcomes, and know how to get the best out of your team — whether during onboarding, performance reviews, or tough conversations.
• Detail-Oriented: You catch what others miss and take pride in getting it right.
• Strong Communicator: Whether it’s coaching a driver, handling a customer complaint, or writing up a report — you’re clear, concise, and professional.
• Safety First Mindset: You promote a culture of safety and lead proactive audits, training, and incident response.
• Team Builder: You know how to spot great talent, train them up, and build a team that runs like a well-oiled machine.
