Special Projects Manager

Central Transport is one of the nation's most trusted and technologically advanced Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carriers. With an ever-growing network of terminals nationwide, our team of dedicated professionals provide safe and efficient service to the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Our Growth is Creating Great Opportunities!

Our team is expanding, and we want to hire the most talented people we can. Continued success depends on it! Once you've had a chance to explore our current open positions, apply to the ones you feel suit you best and keep track of both your progress in the selection process, and new postings that might interest you!

Thanks for your interest in working on our team!

The Special Projects Manager is responsible for leading high-impact, cross-functional initiatives that support operational excellence, cost efficiency, service quality, and strategic growth across the organization. This role partners closely with executive leadership, terminal management, and corporate teams to plan & execute projects that directly impact the overall performance of the company.

Hours: Working hours will vary depending on operational needs and what each project requires. Availability to work 1st, 2nd or 3rd shift hours is required.

Travel: Travel operates on a 3-week cycle: 2 weeks spent traveling to facilities, 1 week spent at your home terminal.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support terminal leadership by standardizing procedures and educating staff to ensure continuous KPI improvements.
  • Utilize data analytics to structure staff schedules that coincide with arrival patterns to improve efficiency and cycle integrity.
  • Collaborate with operational teams to ensure a dock layout that reduces travel between load/unload doors while also reducing overall dock congestion.
  • Ensure that all leaders understand the importance of audit compliance, including maintaining a safe, clean, and organized facility.
  • Provide daily feedback regarding KPIs to terminal management at the 21 largest facilities in the network.
  • Support terminal startups, expansions, and major process changes as assigned.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations Management, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in LTL transportation, logistics, operations management, or project management.
  • Proven experience leading cross-functional projects in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into actionable plans.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); experience with transportation management systems a plus.
