SAFETY & RECRUITING MANAGER | K&S Carriers & Logistics

K&S Carriers runs OTR, regional, and local trucking routes across North America. As we grow our fleet, we need someone who can do two things exceptionally well: find great drivers and keep them safe on the road.

This is a dual-function role that sits at the heart of our operation. You'll own the full recruiting cycle and lead our safety and compliance program — working closely with dispatch, operations, and leadership to build a driver team we're proud of.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage the full driver recruiting cycle — sourcing, screening, onboarding, and orientation
• Maintain DOT/FMCSA compliance across all driver files, drug & alcohol programs, and HOS policies
• Monitor CSA/SMS scores and lead corrective action plans to stay ahead of violations
• Investigate accidents, coach drivers, and deliver ongoing safety training
• Build a proactive driver pipeline to support fleet growth and minimize open seats
• Serve as the go-to resource for compliance questions across the organization

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of experience in driver recruiting, fleet safety management, or both — trucking industry experience required
• Strong working knowledge of FMCSA, DOT, and OSHA regulations
• Familiarity with recruiting platforms (Tenstreet, DriverReach, Indeed) and ELD/telematics systems
• A natural relationship-builder who earns trust with drivers and leadership alike
• Organized and self-directed — you manage competing priorities without needing to be micromanaged
• CDS or NATMI certification is a plus; CDL-A is a plus

WHAT YOU'LL GET

• Health benefits after 60 days and the first of the month
• 401(k) with matching
• Health savings account (HSA)
• Life insurance
• Paid vacation and flexible PTO
• Stable, long-term role with real growth opportunity

Job Type: Full-time

Benefits:

• 401(k) matching
• Health insurance
• Health savings account
• Life insurance
• Paid time off

Work Location: In person
