Ensure accurate application of fuel surcharges and accessorial charges
Review and validate pricing for small board jobs

Dispatch

Manage the dispatching of jobs to both independent contractor and employee drivers, including larger fleet vehicles
Provide daily oversight of active shipments, ensuring consistent communication with customers from transit through delivery and proof of delivery (POD)
Communicate service updates or issues requiring customer approval, either directly or in coordination with Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), across both freight and courier operations
Arrange for timely return and distribution of PODs to customers
Oversee small board dispatch and customer service processes to ensure adherence to procedures, service levels, on-time performance, and fair call distribution, including settlement reviews

Truck Compliance / Maintenance

Maintain preventative maintenance schedules and vehicle records using Samsara software
Oversee all reporting requirements for owned and rental vehicles, including driver logs/e-logs, mileage tracking, fuel reporting, and IFTA compliance
Track and maintain records of vehicle maintenance, including repairs and associated costs, while monitoring utilization, mileage, and overall lifecycle analysis
Coordinate truck washing on an as-needed basis

Driver Management

Report driver-related issues and incidents to senior management in a timely manner
Collect and manage all required documentation for accident reporting, claims, and driver-related investigations
Ensure all required driver clearances and certifications are current and in good standing
Monitor driver hours of service to ensure full regulatory compliance

Other Responsibilities

Working knowledge of transportation regulations, including hours of service, safety compliance, and reporting requirements (e.g., logs/e-logs, IFTA)
Familiarity with fleet maintenance tracking, compliance programs, and operational reporting (experience with systems such as Samsara and Courier Complete is an asset)
Ability to operate effectively in a high-volume, time-sensitive environment while maintaining service levels and customer satisfaction
Experience with pricing and quoting, including applying fuel surcharges and accessorial charges, is an asset
Demonstrated ability to support driver management, including handling day-to-day issues, incident reporting, and performance oversight
Experience supporting driver recruitment, onboarding, and training processes for both independent contractors and employees
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
Effective communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across operations, customer service teams, and clients
Proficiency with dispatch, routing, or transportation systems, as well as Microsoft Office tools
