Job Snapshot

Job Description

Transportation Manager /Elite-Level
 Manassas, VA (On-site)
 $100K – $150K Base + Aggressive Bonus Potential

We are looking for a best-in-class Transportation Manager—a proven leader who has built operations, driven sales, scaled teams, and thrives under pressure.

This is not a maintenance role. This is for someone who has done it all—from closing freight and managing brokerage, to overseeing complex heavy haul moves, to stepping in and solving problems when others can’t.


 What You’ll Own

  • Lead and scale transportation operations + freight brokerage across FTL, LTL, and heavy haul/specialized freight
  • Drive revenue growth through hands-on sales, client development, and strategic partnerships
  • Oversee complex heavy haul projects including planning, permitting, routing, and execution
  • Build and manage a reliable carrier network across standard and specialized capacity
  • Negotiate rates, contracts, and capacity solutions to maximize margin and service
  • Create and refine processes, KPIs, and operational structure
  • Act as the go-to problem solver—handling service failures, capacity crunches, and high-pressure situations with confidence
  • Recruit, lead, and develop a high-performing operations and brokerage team

 What You Bring

  • Extensive experience in transportation management, freight brokerage, and heavy haul
  • A track record of building and scaling operations from the ground up
  • Strong sales mindset with the ability to grow accounts and win new business
  • Deep understanding of oversized/overweight freight, permitting, and specialized routing
  • Proven ability to solve problems in real time and keep freight moving no matter what
  • Expertise in carrier procurement, pricing strategy, and margin management
  • Natural leader with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves mentality

 Why This Role Stands Out

  • True ownership and autonomy—you will shape the operation
  • High-impact role with direct visibility to leadership
  • Strong compensation + bonus structure tied to performance
  • Opportunity to build something meaningful with a company that values execution and results

If you’re the person others call when freight is falling apart…
If you’ve built teams, grown revenue, and handled the toughest moves in the industry…

We want to talk to you.
