About the Role
We are looking for someone who has been in the seat and understands the job. If you have a background in flatbed driving, know your way around straps and chains, and have hands-on driver training experience, this could be a great fit. This is a hands-on role working directly with drivers every day. It is about supporting drivers, training them properly, and building a team that runs safe and runs well.

- Help onboard new drivers and set clear expectations from day one.
- Check in with drivers regularly and make sure they are set up for success.
- Step in when issues come up and handle tough conversations the right way.
- Review camera events and walk through situations with drivers.
- Follow up on incidents and focus on learning, not just discipline.
- Be a strong link between drivers and management.
What You Bring
- Valid AZ License with real flatbed experience.
- Practical experience as a driver trainer.
- Strong understanding of strapping, chaining, and securement.
- Solid knowledge of HOS, safety regulations, and ELDs.
- Good communication skills and the ability to earn driver trust.
- Calm under pressure and able to de-escalate situations.
What Matters Most
- You understand what drivers deal with out there.
- You treat drivers with respect and fairness.
- You are safe.
