Car Hauling Operations Manager

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A CAR HAULING BUSINESS?? If so, this could be a great opportunity for you! CTX Auto Transport is a locally and independently owned car hauling business with trucks based in the Austin and San Antonio area. Our main operations are out of the Buda, Texas area. We've been in business for 10 years and have consistent year after year growth and now have 6 trucks that are all large 18 wheeler car carriers. I am looking for someone that can manage and run this business as well or better than I do. This is NOT a work from home dispatch position and is NOT easy. As a car hauler manager in this type of operation you'll basically need to be a car hauler, manager, dispatcher, and mechanic all in one. No I don't need someone to change oil and tires or work on engines, I need someone that can diagnose the simple issues on trucks and repair when practical or get the proper people to the trucks or trucks to the shops. Management operations consist of managing a team normally of 4-5 drivers currently. You MUST either already know how to haul cars or be able to quickly learn. Dispatch operations consist of handling the orders from normal customers ensuring the needs are met while trucks are dispatched in an efficient manner. When the trucks are slower and there are gaps in the schedules is when the job becomes most challenging. This is when you'll need to find work to fill in those voids by searching some of the load boards and booking new orders. This is currently a 1099 position, I like to keep things simple. Salary is based on experience and depends on how much training would be involved. Must live within 1 hour of Buda, Texas. If you're up for the challenge please apply to this posting on really. If you have something to add please message me on really only. I am very busy and do not have time to take phone calls from people regarding this position, I will need to schedule phone calls individually.
