Your role extends to interviewing and assessing candidates to ensure they meet experience, qualification, and cultural fit standards. Maintaining compliance with DOT, FMCSA, and company hiring policies is crucial in this role, which involves conducting background checks, motor vehicle record reviews, and drug screenings.

This position requires strong collaboration with operations, human resources, and workforce teams to meet staffing goals effectively.
