This is not a desk-based operations role.

This is a visible, hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who understands that logistics moves fast, people need direction, and the best supervisors are present where the work is happening.

Department: Operations

Reports to: Operations Manager

Schedule: Flexible based on business needs. During the training period.

This role is ideal for a grounded operations leader who is comfortable supporting the floor, solving issues in real time, communicating clearly with frontline teams, and helping build a stable, accountable shift culture.

The Opportunity:

This role is built for a leader who likes to be where the action is. Someone who understands that strong operations are driven by people, communication, and steady decision-making in real time.

As an Operations Supervisor, you will oversee day-to-day transportation operations, support Class A CDL drivers, and help ensure service, safety, and accountability run smoothly. You will partner closely with dispatch, fleet, and operations leadership to solve problems quickly, support your team, and keep operations moving forward.

If you are the kind of person who walks the floor, steps in when things get busy, and earns respect by being present and dependable, you will feel right at home here.

What You Will Own

Frontline Leadership:

• Supervise daily driver and operational activities to ensure routes are covered, and service commitments are met
• Serve as the go-to resource for drivers regarding schedules, safety, and day-to-day operational needs
• Maintain a visible presence across the yard, office, and operations to support engagement and accountability
• Coach and develop team members while reinforcing performance and safety expectations

Operational Execution:

• Support dispatch plans, routing, and real-time adjustments to keep operations running efficiently
• Monitor key performance indicators such as on-time delivery, utilization, and attendance
• Identify service or operational issues early and work cross-functionally to resolve them
• Assist leadership with investigations, documentation, and corrective actions when needed

Safety & Compliance:

• Ensure adherence to DOT and FMCSA regulations, company policies, and safety standards
• Monitor hours of service, driver compliance, and equipment readiness
• Reinforce a culture where safety and accountability are part of everyday operations

What Success Looks Like

• Drivers feel supported, informed, and held to clear expectations
• Dispatch plans are executed reliably, even when conditions change
• Safety and compliance are treated as non-negotiables
• Problems are addressed early, not after they escalate
• The team knows you are present, steady, and dependable
