Description

Description Are you ready to lead from the front—both on the dock and on the road? We're looking for a driven, hands-on Cross-Dock Warehouse Supervisor / Lead Driver to take charge of our Tallahassee cross-dock facility. This isn't your typical desk-bound management role. You will be the site's operations lead, managing your team and ensuring deliveries are on track, but you'll also be our essential Road Warrior, 95% of the time operating a truck to run routes and ensure seamless service. This position offers the perfect mix of leadership in the warehouse and essential time on the road! What You'll Do (The Best of Both Worlds): Lead the Site: Oversee the entire cross-dock operation, ensuring we have the staffing and trucks required for getting product delivered, and checking in the trucks at the end of the day. You are the go-to leader for this location. Mentor and Manage: Directly supervise and coach a team of 3 non-CDL drivers, handling everything from daily assignments and performance to scheduling, PTO approvals, and hiring. Hit the Road: Serve as the crucial backup non-CDL driver when the team needs you most—covering routes, loading/unloading, and maintaining service continuity. Driving is an essential, frequent part of the job. Ensure Compliance: Uphold the highest standards of safety, ensure compliance with DOT and OSHA regulations. Drive Efficiency: Monitor key performance metrics and identify/implement process improvements to keep our dock operating at peak performance. What You Bring: 2+ years of experience in warehouse, distribution, or logistics, with at least 1 year in a supervisory/lead role. Prior cross-dock experience is highly preferred. Strong knowledge of DOT regulations, driver logs, and labor scheduling practices. A valid driver's license with a clean record and the ability to confidently operate non-CDL vehicles (box trucks). Proven leadership skills, excellent organizational abilities, and a detail-oriented mindset. Flexibility for early mornings, evenings, or occasional weekends to meet operational and coverage needs. What We Offer: Starting pay of $20/hour, plus significant bonuses for safe driving! Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401(k) with employer match, paid time off). A supportive team environment and the opportunity to make a direct, tangible impact on daily success. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are ready for a leadership role that keeps you active and engaged—both in the warehouse and behind the wheel—apply today! Benefits Awaiting You After 60 Days: Paid Time Off to savor life's moments. Health, Dental & Vision Insurance Health Savings Account Health Reimbursement Account Accident, Critical Illness, Life and Short-term Disability Company paid Long-Term Disability Insurance Reimbursement Program for Craft Beverage Purchases Education Savings Plan (529 Plan) because knowledge is power. 401(k) with Company matching (employees eligible the first of the quarter following their 90th day) Requirements Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree or logistics/supply chain certification preferred. 2+ years of experience in warehouse, distribution, or logistics operations, with at least 1 year in a supervisory/lead role managing staff schedules and/or hiring. Prior experience in a cross-dock environment strongly preferred. Valid driver's license with a clean driving record; must be able and willing to operate non-CDL vehicles (box trucks) as backup coverage. Strong knowledge of DOT regulations, driver logs, transportation paperwork, and basic labor scheduling practices. Proven leadership skills to supervise a small team, handle hiring/onboarding, resolve conflicts, and maintain high safety/performance standards. Excellent organizational, multitasking, and detail-oriented skills for accurate documentation and scheduling. Proficiency with basic computer systems (email, spreadsheets, warehouse/driver management software). Physical ability to lift 50–75 lbs repeatedly, stand/walk for extended periods, and work in a warehouse environment (varying temperatures). Flexible availability, including early mornings, evenings, or occasional weekends to support operations, driver coverage, and scheduling needs. Ready to become a legend in the craft beverage world? Experience with driver route planning, work-hour tracking, PTO management, and small-team recruiting/hiring. Familiarity with safety compliance, incident reporting, and performance evaluation processes. Strong communication skills for team leadership, candidate interviews, and coordination with drivers/carriers. Must have a valid unexpired driver's license with a clean MVR record. Independence to conquer your deliveries with finesse. Must willing and able to take and pass a pre-employment drug test. Essential Physical Requirements: While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit.
