The Role

Star Blend is seeking a Fleet Operations Manager to lead the strategy, performance, and long-term direction of our fleet department. In this role, you’ll oversee all fleet assets, drivers, logistics, and transportation operations to ensure safe, compliant, efficient, and reliable service. You’ll work closely with Operations, Safety, Finance, and Dispatch while driving continuous improvement, elevating service levels, and ensuring our fleet is always ready to support production and customer delivery needs.

A Day in the Life

• Start the morning reviewing fleet performance, driver schedules, and any routing adjustments needed for the day’s deliveries.
• Work with Dispatch to reduce empty miles, evaluate backhaul opportunities, and solve routing challenges.
• Check in with Fleet staff for updates—maintenance schedules, equipment issues, vendor coordination, or upcoming inspections.
• Review budget performance, fuel trends, or equipment utilization metrics, identifying areas for cost savings or efficiency improvements.
• Visit our Sparta and Chippewa Falls sites to support drivers, strengthen relationships, and ensure alignment across both locations.
• Partner with Safety to review compliance status, evaluate any incidents or investigations, and reinforce driver training standards.
• Lead team coaching, 1:1s, or KPI reviews to keep performance and communication strong.
• Wrap up the day by planning future fleet needs, reviewing vendor contracts, or preparing strategic recommendations for leadership.

What You Will Bring

• Proven leadership experience in fleet, logistics, transportation, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of DOT, FMCSA, and transportation compliance requirements.
• Experience managing fleet assets (trucks, trailers, equipment), preventive maintenance, and vendor relationships.
• A data-driven mindset with the ability to monitor KPIs, analyze trends, and make strategic recommendations.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with drivers, team members, vendors, and cross-functional partners.
• A passion for continuous improvement—routing, safety, maintenance, technology, and efficiency.
• Ability to travel regularly between locations and support a high-performing, collaborative team culture.

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive pay
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid time off and holidays
• Retirement plan with company match
• Opportunities for career growth and leadership development
• A collaborative, supportive team committed to safety and operational excellence
