About AFC

At AFC, you're a name, not a number. We're a family-owned, women-owned transportation and logistics company headquartered in Tampa, FL, moving freight nationwide through our asset and brokerage operations. We're growing fast and building our own AI-powered operating platform, not just buying tools. We promote from within, and our leadership knows your name. If you want to build something, not just fill a seat, you'll fit in here.

The role

You'll be the go-to contact for a group of AFC's independent-contractor driver partners, from their first dispatch onward. You'll report to the Director of Driver Success & Retention. Success means every driver gets a same-day callback, a real answer, and a reason to stay.

Run documented 30/60/90-day check-ins with new drivers
Take driver concerns from the first call to resolution and keep drivers updated
Coordinate home-time requests with Dispatch
Explain settlement status and route disputes to the right specialist
Spot at-risk drivers early and lead retention conversations

What you bring

2+ years in a driver-facing, customer success, or account management role
Calm, clear phone skills, including difficult conversations
Follow-through that closes every loop
Comfort working across multiple systems and keeping accurate notes

Nice to have

Experience with independent-contractor (1099) driver programs
McLeod, Samsara, or similar TMS/telematics tools
Working knowledge of settlements or HOS

What you get

Competitive base pay of $60K to $74K
Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k), with coverage starting the first of the month after 60 days
80 hours of PTO per year
Weekly pay
A clear path to grow, with leaders who know your name

Where you'll work

Tampa HQ, 1120 E Kennedy Blvd 5 days in office.

Our process

A phone screen with People & Talent, a short Predictive Index assessment, an interview with the hiring manager, and a final conversation with leadership.

About this role

AFC Logistics is looking for someone to lead a fleet of 30–45 flatbed drivers in Tampa with a focus on retention, safety, and profitability. This is a hands-on leadership role that balances people management with operational oversight—you'll conduct daily check-ins and coaching, run monthly performance reviews, monitor KPIs like RPM and fuel efficiency, and serve as the main advocate for drivers across dispatch, customer service, and safety teams. The work involves keeping McLeod TMS records current, reviewing Samsara safety data, coordinating with maintenance, and collaborating with dispatchers to optimize load planning and driver availability.

You'll need solid experience in fleet management, driver relations, or transportation operations, with a working knowledge of HOS regulations, DOT compliance, and TMS systems. The company emphasizes a people-first approach over pure metrics management—they're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships with drivers and can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail. Success means low turnover, high morale, clean compliance records, and a reputation as someone drivers trust and leadership can rely on.

This role suits someone who sees driver support as central to business performance and wants direct impact on retention and fleet health. It's full-time, in-office in Tampa, and part of a growing operation where strong operational and safety teams already exist.
