What is a transloading manager?

Transloading Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the transfer of goods from one mode of transportation to another, such as from rail to truck or vice versa, typically at transloading facilities. They coordinate operations to ensure efficient, timely, and safe handling of cargo, manage staff, and ensure compliance with safety and regulatory requirements. Their role is crucial in supply chain logistics, especially for industries that move bulk commodities or intermodal freight.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a transloading manager?

To thrive as a Transloading Manager, you need strong knowledge of logistics operations, freight handling, supply chain management, and typically a bachelor's degree in logistics, business, or a related field. Familiarity with warehouse management systems (WMS), transportation management software, and safety compliance certifications like OSHA are commonly required. Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills help coordinate teams and maintain efficient workflows. These skills are crucial for ensuring safe, timely, and cost-effective movement of goods between transportation modes.

What are common challenges faced by a transloading manager and how can they be addressed?

Transloading Managers often encounter challenges such as coordinating schedules between various transportation modes (rail, truck, ship), managing inventory accuracy, and ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Effective communication with logistics partners and internal teams is essential to minimize delays and prevent errors. Leveraging logistics software, maintaining clear standard operating procedures, and investing in regular staff training can help address these challenges and ensure smooth operations.

Take Ownership of a Hands-On Terminal Operation

Road & Rail Services is seeking an experienced Terminal Manager to lead our transloading operation in Knoxville, Tennessee. This opportunity is designed for a manager who is comfortable being visible in the operation, developing employees, solving problems, and taking responsibility for the overall performance of the terminal.

This is not a desk-only management position. You will spend time in the field alongside your team, monitoring daily activity and ensuring employees have the training, equipment, and direction needed to work safely and efficiently.

The terminal handles the transfer of commodities between railcars and trucks, which may include ethanol, plastic pellets, food-grade materials, and other products. A strong commitment to safety, environmental compliance, customer service, and operational consistency is essential.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As Terminal Manager, you will:

Direct and coordinate daily transloading and terminal activities

Lead, train, coach, schedule, and develop terminal employees

Conduct safety meetings and reinforce safe work practices

Ensure products are transferred safely and according to established procedures

Monitor productivity, labor utilization, operating expenses, and overall terminal performance

Help manage budgets and support established P&L objectives

Maintain accurate operational, safety, training, and customer documentation

Communicate with customers and address service or operational concerns

Identify operational problems and implement practical solutions

Ensure equipment, work areas, and terminal grounds are maintained appropriately

Support compliance with applicable company, customer, OSHA, EPA, FRA, and DOT requirements

Work outdoors and assist employees with operational responsibilities when circumstances require it

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates should have at least two years of management or supervisory experience, preferably with responsibility for operating expenses, budgets, productivity, or P&L results.

Experience in transloading, rail operations, transportation, logistics, chemical handling, manufacturing, warehousing, terminal operations, or another industrial environment is strongly preferred.

You should also be able to:

Lead employees while holding the team accountable for performance and safety

Communicate effectively with employees, customers, and company leadership

Make sound decisions in a fast-moving operational environment

Organize multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

Work both independently and as part of a larger operations team

Perform work outdoors in changing weather conditions

Safely climb railcars, use stairs and ladders, and navigate an industrial terminal environment

Assist with physical or operational duties when necessary

Compensation & Benefits
  • Starting salary: $65,000 annually, negotiable depending on experience
  • Medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company matching
