Senior Fleet Driver Manager

Location: Warrenton, Virginia

Salary: $90,000 - $115,000 per year (DOE)

Employment type: Full-Time | Transportation Leadership Role

This Is a Leadership Seat - Not a Dispatch Desk.

An established and performance-driven transportation operation is seeking a high-caliber Fleet Operations Leader/Senior Driver Manager to manage and elevate a fleet of 40-50 professional drivers.

If you have managed drivers successfully, understand DOT compliance without Googling it, and know how to drive performance without burning bridges - this is your opportunity.

We are not looking for someone to "monitor loads."

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of outcomes.

• Full operational oversight of 40-50 CDL drivers
• Driver performance, accountability, and retention
• DOT & FMCSA compliance enforcement
• Hours-of-Service oversight and service integrity
• On-time delivery performance metrics
• GPS and operational monitoring to prevent service failures
• Home time planning without disrupting productivity
• Coaching underperformers and strengthening top drivers

This role directly impacts safety, service scores, and profitability.

• Proven experience managing drivers in a trucking environment
• Strong working knowledge of DOT & FMCSA regulations
• Ability to command respect while maintaining driver morale
• Thick skin and calm decision-making under pressure
• Highly organized and technologically proficient
• Results-driven mindset

If you have only worked as a dispatcher without direct driver accountability, this role will not be the right fit.

• $90,000 - $115,000 base (DOE)
• PTO + Paid Holidays
• Medical, Dental, Vision
• Stable operation with growth trajectory
• Leadership visibility and impact

• Leaders, not order-takers
• Problem-solvers, not excuse-makers
• Professionals who understand trucking culture
• Individuals who balance safety and productivity

If you have successfully managed a fleet and can bring structure, accountability, and stability - we want to talk. Submit your resume to  for a confidential conversation.
