• Shop Leadership & Mechanic Direction: Supervise, schedule, and assign daily repair tasks to internal automotive technicians and diesel mechanics to minimize shop turnarounds and job site downtime.
• DOT & Regulatory Compliance Command: Maintain absolute compliance with DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, and state transportation requirements—guaranteeing flawless driver logs, vehicle registrations, titles, permitting, and inspection records.
• Parts Supply Chain & Vendor Negotiation: Direct shop parts inventory (tires, fluids, high-wear components) and manage external vendor relationships to control operating costs and secure volume pricing.
• Fleet Telematics & Performance Analytics: Monitor vehicle utilization rates, fuel efficiency, GPS telematics data (e.g., Samsara/Fleetio), and cost-per-mile metrics—delivering actionable analytics to executive leadership.
• Budget & Lifecycle Management: Control transport operating budgets, track daily maintenance expenses, and assist leadership with strategic capital planning for vehicle procurement and asset disposal.
• Incident Management & Safety Auditing: Investigate over-the-road and site traffic incidents, implement corrective safety actions, manage insurance claims, and maintain warranty records.
