- Dispatch Strategy and Execution: This position is the Captain of the ship when it comes to dispatching strategy, booking loads, scheduling loads, and ensuring on-time pick-ups and deliveries. The mantra is Make it make sense. Motor Supply runs a mix of dedicated and spot freight, both of which should run optimally, meeting revenue and rate per mile [rpm] targets.
- Route Planning and Optimization: Paying close attention to details is crucial. Unnecessary miles and poor HOS planning are rpm killers. The Fleet Operations Manager must ensure dispatchers and drivers are planning efficient routes, maximizing HOS, keeping accurate ETAs, and meeting appointment times.
- Oversight of Dispatch Administration: Paperwork and digital records are a necessary component of trucking. Motor Supply has administrative dispatch assistants for handling load-related documents. The Fleet Operations Manager must ensure this task is being done consistently and correctly.
- Driver Management and Training: Drivers are the cornerstone of trucking. This position is responsible for driver oversight including: performance, adherence to safety and compliance, bonuses and compensation adjustments, and driver morale. The Fleet Operations Manager should expect, from time-to-time, to train drivers on certain aspects of their performance such as HOS management, company procedures, and use of company resources and tools (e.g., fuel cards).
- Client and Broker Relationship Building: This is the glue between the business development team and loads being delivered. The Fleet Operations Manager will be in day-to-day contact with Motor Supplys direct clients and brokers who are friends of the business. An absolute key task of this position is working with our direct clients to problem-solve, schedule pick ups and deliveries, create the most cost effective strategy for their freight needs, and keep them updated on the progress of their loads.
- Coordination with Fleet Maintenance Manager: Motor Supplys goal is to minimize the impact of maintenance work in delivering loads on-time and overall volume of loads able to be delivered. The Fleet Operations Manager will need to coordinate with the Fleet Maintenance Manager to schedule maintenance around a drivers work.
- Coordination with the Safety and Compliance Team: Safety is #1; above all else. Every Motor Supply team member is expected to embrace this core value and consider safety as part of their responsibilities. Practically, the Fleet Operations Manager will take part in Motor Supplys Safety Council. Compliance is taken seriously as well and this position is expected to maintain an understanding of our drivers strengths and weaknesses regarding safety and compliance.
- Technology: Motor Supply uses a variety of internally developed software and technology to run our operation more efficiently. The Fleet Operation Manager will be expected to utilize and provide feedback on software developed by Motor Supply.
- KPIs and Budgeting: If you can measure it, you can improve it. The Fleet Operations Manager is fully expected to create, track, and meet performance KPIs and manage the Fleet Operations Budget effectively. Key KPIs tracked from fleet operations are: gross revenue, rpm, and % of deadhead.
- Competitive salary and performance bonuses
- Supportive work environment with a focus on teamwork and collaboration
- Access to training and development programs to enhance skills and knowledge
- Tailored benefits packages
- Joining a lean, data-driven, and tech-centric trucking company
