We operate a busy transportation and roll-off operation that is central to our ability to serve customers. We value leaders who are hands-on, data-driven, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment where decisions are made in real time and results are visible every day. The Opportunity We are looking for a Transportation and Logistics Manager to own, lead, and scale our trucking and dispatch operations. This is not a desk-only role. You will combine daily, hands-on dispatching supervision with leadership of our driver team and oversight of fleet performance, safety, and compliance. In this role, your work will directly impact on-time service, customer satisfaction, cost per load, and the overall profitability of the business. What You\'ll Do Run hands-on daily dispatch supervision for roll-off, dump, and live load trucks, scheduling container drops, swaps, pulls, pickups, deliveries, and internal transfers while adjusting routes in real time. Lead, coach, and hold drivers accountable for on-time performance, safety, professionalism, and proper inspections, building a strong, high-accountability team culture. Oversee fleet operations alongside maintenance, including preventative maintenance schedules, repairs, DOT inspections, and overall vehicle readiness and uptime. Serve as the primary logistics contact for customers, aligning dispatch with customer expectations and company capacity while resolving service issues quickly. Track and analyze key transportation KPIs, using data to improve route efficiency, driver productivity, deadhead percentage, turnaround times, and cost per load. What Success Looks Like Within 3-6 months, daily dispatch is running smoothly with consistently high on-time service rates, minimal driver downtime, and strong container turns and truck utilization. Driver performance, safety, and professionalism have improved through clear expectations, ride-alongs, coaching, and regular performance reviews and safety meetings. Fleet uptime and compliance metrics are strong, with preventative maintenance on schedule, quick response to breakdowns, and clean DOT and safety audits. Data-driven reporting and decisions are in place, with regular KPI reviews driving improvements in route efficiency, deadhead miles, cost per load, and overall output. What We\'re Looking For Minimum 5+ years of real dispatching and transportation supply chain experience with roll-off trucks (required), plus experience with dump and live load trucking operations. Proven ability to manage drivers and logistics operations in a fast-paced, high-pressure, blue-collar environment, making firm decisions with authority and respect. Strong understanding of routing, scheduling, real-time dispatching, DOT compliance, and the use of dispatch software or TMS systems. A hands-on, systems-driven leader who takes initiative, is comfortable with conflict and accountability, and can build and scale processes, teams, and a dispatch function over time.
