This isn't a dispatch desk. You're running the whole operation.

BTC's Rapid City Terminal Manager oversees everything: CDL drivers, heavy equipment operators, various bulk commodities, and direct client relationships.

Gypsum, iron ore, wood chips, aggregates, frac sand, hydrates, molasses. Trucks, loaders, and a mining operation requiring MSHA certification. Client visits, bid reviews, budget planning, and a team that depends on you to keep it all moving. No two days look the same.

  • Implement and enforce company policies, procedures, and operating standards.
  • Manage budgets, cost control, and procurement to achieve financial and operational targets.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, shippers, carriers, and vendors.
  • Monitor DVIRs and coordinate timely, compliant equipment repairs.
  • Partner with Safety to ensure regulatory compliance and a safe workplace.
  • Oversee facility upkeep and recommend improvements as needed.
  • Identify training needs and support employee development.
  • Continuously evaluate and improve processes to enhance service quality and cost-effectiveness.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What you need:

  • 5 years of transportation or logistics management experience
  • 2 years proven supervisory responsibility
  • Strong understanding of DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, and other transportation safety regulations.
  • CDL-A preferred
  • MSHA Certification (we will train if you're not certified)
