OTR Driver Manager

CDN LOGISTICS INC

Position Description: As a Driver Manager supporting our Over-the-Road fleet, you will play a pivotal role in keeping freight—and people—moving across the United States. This is not a back-office logistics position; it is a frontline leadership role with real influence on safety, service, retention, and performance. You will serve as the primary point of connection for our OTR drivers, coordinating nationwide logistics while ensuring drivers feel supported, informed, and respected every mile of the way.


The most successful Driver Managers bring more than operational knowledge—they bring credibility, sound judgment, and the ability to build trust through consistent communication. We are seeking a professional who takes ownership, sets clear goals, and thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. If you are motivated to apply your experience, strengthen driver relationships, and help shape a best-in-class OTR operation, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and coordinate the schedules and routes of a team of drivers to ensure timely and efficient delivery of goods.

• Monitor driver performance, including adherence to safety protocols, compliance with DOT regulations, and customer service standards.

• Provide ongoing support and guidance to drivers, addressing any issues or concerns and offering solutions as needed.

• Collaborate with the planning team to assign and adjust routes based on operational needs, traffic conditions, and customer requirements.

• Conduct regular performance evaluations of drivers, providing feedback, coaching, and training opportunities for improvement.

• Address driver complaints, accidents, and incidents in a timely and effective manner, following established procedures and protocols.

• Foster a positive and respectful work environment, promoting teamwork, open communication, and a strong safety culture.

• Collaborate with other departments, such as maintenance and customer service, to resolve operational issues and improve overall efficiency.

Qualifications:

•Minimum High School Diploma/GED required, Associate’s Degree preferred

• Proven experience in transportation or logistics, with a focus on driver management.

• Strong knowledge of DOT regulations, hours of service, and driver qualification requirements.

• Excellent organizational and multitasking skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.

• Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to interact with drivers, customers, and internal teams.

• Detail-oriented mindset, with a focus on accuracy and compliance.

Proficient in using transportation management systems (TMS) and other relevant software.

• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with the capacity to resolve issues and make sound judgments.

• Flexibility to adapt to changing operational needs and work schedules, including occasional evenings or weekends.

What We Offer

We take care of our people the way they take care of our customers. Our benefits and rewards are designed to support your health, family, and future.

  • Comprehensive benefits—medical, dental, vision, and life insurance; details on coverage and shared costs are reviewed during the interview process
  • 401(k) with company match to help you plan for long-term financial security
  • Paid vacation and holidays—including your birthday!
  • Supplemental insurance options such as disability, voluntary life, and legal coverage
  • Employee recognition and referral incentives that reward performance and teamwork
  • Career growth and training opportunities for those who want to learn and advance
  • Proudly 100% Veteran-owned, built on respect, reliability, and shared success
  • (Benefits are offered as a shared-cost program to balance affordability with sustainable, high-quality coverage.)
