OTR Driver Manager

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.

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.

• 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.
