Director of Transportation, Texas

Nevoya

15h • Remote

About The Position

As Director of Transportation, you are the operational backbone of Nevoya. You own the dispatch team, the driver workforce, and the daily planning engine that keeps freight moving on time and customers happy. This is a high-ownership role: you will manage the complexity of a growing carrier, schedule changes, operational exceptions, driver performance, and customer commitments, while building the systems and habits that allow the operation to scale.
You come from the carrier world. You know what dispatch looks like under pressure, what it takes to build a driver team that is safe, productive, and retained, and how to turn operational chaos into structured process. You also embrace technology as a genuine tool and get excited when a new system actually makes something work better.
This is a remote role for Texas-based candidates, with 15% travel required.

Requirements

• 7+ years in transportation operations with significant carrier-side experience. You have run dispatch, managed CDL drivers, and owned operational outcomes.
• Proven track record managing a dispatch team (5+ years of experience leading teams): setting standards, developing dispatchers, and building a high-accountability environment.
• Direct CDL driver management experience: hiring, coaching, corrective action, and retention.
• Deep knowledge of DOT/FMCSA compliance: HOS, driver qualification, drug and alcohol program, and ELD requirements.
• Experience in truckload operations; drayage or port experience a strong plus.
• Demonstrated ability to manage operational planning in a dynamic environment, schedule changes, exceptions, and competing priorities are your normal.
• Tech-forward mindset: You get genuinely energized when a new tool or system makes something work better. You learn new platforms thoroughly and advocate for technology adoption on your team and never work around the system.
• Calm under operational pressure: When things go sideways, and in trucking they will, you stay organized, prioritize clearly, and move the team toward a solution without drama.
• Operator at heart: You have run dispatch. You know how a driver's day actually works. Your team respects you because you have been in the weeds.
• Accountable leader: You set high standards and follow through consistently. You do not let underperformance linger, and you give credit where it is due.
• Data-driven: You can look at on-time data, driver utilization, and HOS logs and quickly identify what is broken and what to do about it.
• Startup-ready: You thrive in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. You are energized by building process, not just following it.
