  • Collaborating with drivers to address equipment issues and supporting equipment-related driver training.
  • Promoting a safe work environment while ensuring compliance with all applicable transportation and safety regulations.


The ideal candidate will bring five or more years of experience in fleet operations and maintenance, including at least two years in a leadership role. A strong understanding of heavy-duty truck and trailer maintenance, commercial trucking regulations, and mechanical and pneumatic systems is essential.
