Fleet Maintenance Manager

Build Something Exceptional!!
Not everyone is built to run an operation.
Some people see a truck, trailer, or piece of equipment that's broken and fix today's problem.
Others see the entire operation, identify the root of the issue, improve the process, and make changes to ensure the problem doesn’t happen twice.
We're looking for the second person!
