Who We’re Looking For We want someone who takes ownership of the fleet. The right person knows which trucks are operational, which need service, when inspections are due, which vehicles are in the shop, when they are coming back, and whether a rental is needed. When a truck breaks down, we don’t want someone who simply reports the problem. We want someone who takes responsibility for solving it and keeping the operation moving. Our goal is simple: safe, reliable trucks available every day so our customers receive their deliveries on time. Pay: $85,000.00 - $105,000.00 per year Work Location: In person
