Crew Leader — Long Distance

The role

You run a four-person crew on interstate routes, typically three to five days out. That means you are the surveyor's eyes on the day, the customer's point of contact, the person who decides how the truck gets loaded, and the one who signs the inventory at both ends.

Most of our long-distance work runs the Northeast corridor down to Florida and out to Texas. Expect eight to twelve nights away a month, hotels booked and paid by us, with a per-diem on top of your salary.

What you will actually do

• Walk the property before anything moves, and flag anything the survey missed.
• Plan the load so weight sits over the axles and nothing fragile carries weight.
• Keep the inventory sheet accurate — it is the document that settles every claim.
• Brief and pace your crew, including the seasonal staff who join in summer.
• Log hours, fuel, tolls and rest periods against DOT rules.
• Handle the awkward conversations: the item that will not fit, the lift that is out, the delay.

What we need from you

• Valid CDL Class A or B with a clean record over the past three years.
• Three years' interstate moving experience, at least one leading a crew.
• DOT medical certification, current or obtainable before your start date.
• Comfortable with a tablet — inventories, condition reports and hours are all digital.
• The temperament to stay calm on the worst day of somebody else's year.

Nice to have

• Crating or fine-art handling certification.
• Forklift ticket.
• Spanish, Polish or Portuguese — a third of our crews are bilingual.

The package

• $62,000 – $74,000 depending on experience, reviewed every twelve months.
• $55 per diem for every night away, paid weekly.
• Overtime at time and a half beyond 45 hours.
• Health, dental and vision from day one, 80% employer-paid.
• 401(k) with a 4% match that vests immediately.
• 18 days paid leave, rising to 25 after three years.
