• Continuously track FMCSA SAFER scoring, analyze trends, and immediately flag and remediate safety or compliance issues; manage the ELD system (Motive) and update the company's MCS-150 report annually.

• Own the asset lifecycle, including the purchase, sale, or scrapping of fleet vehicles, trailer and forklift lease documentation, and timely renewals of vehicle registrations, fleet insurance policies, and IFTA credentials.

• Prepare and file quarterly IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) and state weight-distance/use taxes, and track fleet-wide fuel usage, including distribution, security, and auditing of company fuel cards.

• Manage weigh station bypass programs (e.g., PrePass), FasTrak, and other toll registrations across the fleet.

• Deep, working knowledge of DOT, FMCSA, CARB, and California BIT regulations.

• Proven experience filing IFTA and state use taxes and managing MCS-150 filings.

• Exceptional attention to detail with a proven track record of maintaining flawless documentation for regulatory audits.
