Operations Manager - Amazon Freight Partner

Who We Are White Pine Freight is a growing trucking company and Amazon Freight Partner based in the Minneapolis–St. Paul market. We are building a safety-first, reliable operation with a simple goal: take great care of our drivers, operate safely, and be a dependable partner to Amazon. What We Do Haul freight exclusively for Amazon Hook and drop — no package handling Operate new Freightliner tractors Run routes ranging from local/day trips to multi-day trips Build our operation around safety, reliability, and strong processes Why We’re Hiring We are at the beginning of an exciting growth journey. We expect to start with approximately 3 trucks and grow toward 30 trucks — and we need an Operations Manager who wants to help build the operation along the way. This is not a role where every process already exists. There will be things to figure out : scheduling, driver communication, training, maintenance, yard operations, call-outs, and the dozens of details required to keep trucks moving safely and reliably. The goal, however, is not constant firefighting. As we learn what works, we want to turn those lessons into simple, repeatable processes so the business becomes more reliable as it grows. Solve it. Improve it. Build the process. Scale it. Who We Seek We are looking for someone who is both an entrepreneurial problem solver and a process person .
