Job description

Universal Logistic Holdings Inc. provides truckload, brokerage, intermodal, dedicated and value-added transportation and logistics services throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Colombia. Our stability and experience within the industry has been proven with our continued growth, in revenues and profits year after year.

Our Management Trainees are the future leaders of the organization. This is a unique position for individuals that are seeking a career within the Logistics industry!

This program is designed as a hands-on experience within all aspects of operations, with the expectation that the individual will oversee a terminal at the end of the 3 phases (12-18 months). This individual will learn all aspects of operations while also traveling to different terminals throughout the U.S. to see different terminals.

*** Travel and relocation expenses are responsibility of Universal Logistics Inc., not the individual ***

Candidates must be able to relocate temporarily or permanently within the 12-18 months to gain the necessary experience needed to grow their career.

Timeline of training is dependent on how well the trainee grasps each phase and a progress report is to be completed by the Terminal Manager to determine readiness for next phase. If learning at a faster than average pace, trainee can advance to the next phase based on management’s discretion.

Program time length is 18 months with a breakdown as follows:

Phase 1- Months (0-9):

• This phase of the program includes working in the South Kearny terminal. At this terminal, you would learn all positions within a terminal.
• Starting with most entry-level: Billing Clerk, Customer Service Rep, Dispatcher, all the way up to Operations/Terminal Manager.
• Extensive training on all positions as well proficiency with our systems (Filemaker and ATLAS)

Phase 2- Months (9-12):

• Focus on and perform the management functions in the home terminal location with mentorship from the Terminal Manager and/or General Manager.
• This would include assisting with recruiting items, contractor/driver sign ons and paperwork, compliance/safety items, accidents, loans, road service, and monthly budgets/P&L’s.
• If depot location, spend time with terminal or depot manager to further enhance knowledge on depot interworking’s and decision-making.
• If learning at a fast pace, temporary relocation to another terminal to gain exposure to their operations will be a possible option.
• Potential management/leadership/communication soft skills training to enhance readiness to be a manager.
• Schedule a trip to Corporate Office in Warren, MI to meet with key people, departments, and discuss the Management Trainee’s career path at this time.

Phase 3- Months (12-18):

• Spend at least 50% of time traveling – the more travel, the more you learn! The individual will spend month to month in different operations shadowing different managers, seeing different volume terminals, different management style, experiencing the towns and surrounding area to gauge interest for future location preference.
• Time at home (in South Kearny terminal) should be spent transitioning out of the local operation, and if needed, training other staff to take over their home terminal responsibilities, can provide rotating coverage for others on PTO, but should not have an assigned set of drivers for dispatch at this point.
