Eco Emissions - Trucking Fleet Manager (Regional)

Eco Emissions is hiring a proactive, highly organized Trucking Fleet Manager to oversee our regional transportation operations. You will be directly responsible for a specialized fleet of under 20 commercial trucks that routinely transport Hazardous Materials (Hazmat). Safety, legal compliance, and operational continuity are non-negotiable; we expect a hands-on manager who leads from the field and uses telematics and data to deliver flawless execution.
Primary Responsibilities

• Regulatory compliance: Ensure continuous compliance with DOT, FMCSA and PHMSA rules, including ELD mandates and Hazmat shipping standards.
• Permits & documentation: Maintain Hazmat registrations, driver endorsements, shipping papers and manifests; schedule regular documentation audits.
• Safety & security: Create, review and deliver training on Hazmat security plans, emergency response procedures and spill-containment protocols.

Operations & Asset Management

• Hands-on dispatch: Lead day-to-day dispatch, route planning and scheduling with a small driver team to optimize on-time performance.
• Driver retention: Recruit, onboard and coach drivers with a focus on safety, driver satisfaction and reducing turnover.
• Asset tracking: Oversee registration, insurance, utilization tracking and lifecycle planning for trucks and specialized trailers.

Maintenance Responsibilities

• Hybrid maintenance model: Supervise routine preventative maintenance and quick repairs performed in-house while managing relationships and SLAs with third-party heavy repair vendors for major work.
• DVIR audits: Review Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports daily to triage repairs and prioritize vendor repairs when necessary.

Financial & Data Duties

• Budget management: Track operating budgets, fuel usage, cost-per-mile and maintenance spend to control expenses and recommend efficiencies.
• Telematics: Monitor GPS and ELD data to verify Hours of Service (HOS), reduce idling, and correct unsafe driving patterns.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3+ years of progressive experience in trucking fleet management, heavy-duty dispatch or transportation logistics.
• Demonstrated experience managing Hazmat transportation operations and compliance workflows.
• Strong knowledge of DOT, FMCSA, PHMSA requirements and ELD rules.
• Proficiency with fleet software and telematics platforms (e.g., Samsara, Motive, Fleetio).
• Capable of working in a yard environment; able to lift up to 40 lbs occasionally for inspections.

Preferred Traits

• A lead-by-example communicator who commands driver respect and collaborates well with corporate leadership.
• Calm, decisive crisis manager during roadside incidents and operational disruptions.
• Existing relationships with local heavy-duty maintenance vendors and parts suppliers are a plus.

If you are a hands-on leader who demands 100% compliance and zero downtime while building a cohesive regional team, Eco Emissions wants to hear from you.
