Linehaul Operations & Dispatch Manager

Midnight Pony Express, an Amazon Freight Partner company based in Henderson/Las Vegas, NV, is hiring an experienced CDL-A Operations Manager / Dispatcher to help lead our growing trucking operation.

This is not an entry-level role, not a remote position, and not a desk-only operations job. We are looking for a hands-on transportation leader who has already managed drivers, dispatch, linehaul runs, equipment issues, route coverage, schedules, and service performance in a real trucking or logistics operation.

A current CDL-A is required. This position requires time in the yard with drivers before launch, active dispatch oversight, direct driver accountability, and the ability to drive when no backup driver is available to cover a callout, schedule gap, or service-critical run.

What MPE Is Looking For: MPE is looking for a serious transportation operator who can lead from the front and is a leadership by example Pro Driver and Operations Manager.

The right candidate has real linehaul, dispatch, fleet, or transportation operations experience and is comfortable managing drivers, solving problems under pressure, checking equipment readiness, protecting on-time performance, and keeping freight moving safely.

This role is for someone who understands that every load matters, every driver matters, every tractor matters, and every service failure has consequences.

Required Experience

Qualified applicants must have direct experience in at least one of the following:

Amazon Freight Partner operations
Amazon Relay operations
FedEx Ground BC / Linehaul Operations Manager experience
UPS linehaul operations experience
Trucking company dispatch, fleet, or operations supervision
High-volume transportation operations managing multiple drivers and runs

Experience managing 10 or more linehaul runs in a 24-hour operating cycle is strongly preferred.

MPE Run Types

We schedule drivers across two primary run types:

Solo 2: Sleeper cab routes out for two shifts and returning the next day
Solo 5: Sleeper cab routes out for five shifts, returning with scheduled days off between cycles

Future: Solo 1 local/regional - return same day

Key Responsibilities

Manage daily dispatch operations and driver communication
Spend time in the yard preparing drivers and equipment for launch
Verify driver readiness, route readiness, equipment status, and launch execution
Monitor linehaul runs, delays, tractors, trailers, route status, and equipment issues
Support safe, compliant, on-time Amazon freight operations
Track attendance, driver coverage, operational risks, and service performance
Coordinate schedule gaps, backup driver coverage, and recovery plans
Drive when required if no backup driver is available to protect service performance
Communicate operational status, risks, and service issues to company leadership
Coach drivers on accountability, safety, communication, and performance
Use phones, GPS, telematics, spreadsheets, Amazon Relay, and dispatch tools to manage operations

Minimum Qualifications

*Current CDL-A required and current DOT medical*
Prior linehaul, trucking, dispatch, fleet, Amazon Freight Partner, Amazon Relay, FedEx Ground, UPS, or transportation trucking company operations experience required
At least 3 years of operations leadership, dispatch, BC, assistant manager, fleet supervisor, or driver management experience preferred
Experience managing 10 or more linehaul runs in a 24-hour period strongly preferred
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Ability to manage multiple drivers, schedules, routes, priorities, and time-sensitive issues
Dependable, organized, professional, and calm under pressure
Able to work nights, weekends, holidays, or changing transportation schedules as needed
Knowledge of DOT awareness, freight operations, dispatch, shipping/receiving, and fleet management best practices
Strong analytical skills for reviewing logistics and safety data, identifying trends, and improving performance

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are a hands-on transportation leader who is safety-minded, driver-focused, organized, direct, and calm when operations get difficult.

Do not apply if you are looking for a remote role, a desk-only dispatcher position, or an entry-level management job or don't have a current CDL-A liscense.

This position is ideal for someone who can work in the yard, communicate directly with drivers, manage dispatch pressure, solve operational problems, and step into the driver seat when needed to protect the operation.
