Full Job Description
Description

Build the market. Run the business. Lead the team.

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in building something that lasts-and you don't mind putting in the work to get it there-we should talk.

At Warehouse on Wheels, our General Managers don't sit back and manage. They own their market-from sales and operations to team development and financial performance.

Think "local business owner" mindset, not "corporate executive".

What you'll own:
  • Grow the business - Build relationships, win customers, and get trailers on rent
  • Run the operation - Keep equipment ready, safe, and meeting demand
  • Drive performance - Use data and day-to-day awareness to stay on track
  • Lead your team - Hire, coach, and develop people who show up and deliver
  • Own the numbers - Budget, pricing, utilization, and collections
  • Solve problems quickly - When issues pop up, you address them head-on
  • Stay close to customers - You know your accounts and where the next opportunity is

This is a "roll-up-your-sleeves, lead-from-the-front" role-not a desk job.

What success looks like:
  • Equipment is moving and utilization is strong
  • Customer relationships are growing-and so is the business
  • Your team is accountable, engaged, and improving
  • You know your numbers and can pivot quickly when needed

What we need from you:
  • Builder mindset - You'd rather grow something than maintain it
  • Balanced operator - Strong in both sales and operations
  • Low ego, high ownership - You don't need a title to lead
  • Reliable and responsive - You follow through every time
  • Team-first leader - You bring people along and develop them
  • Comfortable in the field - Yard, customer site, office-you're good in all environments
  • Experience in transportation, equipment rental, logistics, or a similar field
  • Proven ability to grow business, accounts, or a location
  • Understanding of both financial performance and day-to-day operations
  • Strong communication, follow-up, and problem-solving skills

Why WOW:
  • Real ownership-you'll make decisions that directly impact your market
  • A team that values hard work, accountability, and helping each other win
  • Opportunity to build something meaningful-not just maintain it
  • No unnecessary layers or red tape

Columbus is built on consistency, reliability, and doing things the right way-and that's exactly what works here. If you're someone who builds trust through follow-through and takes pride in delivering results, you'll fit right in.

If you're ready to step into a role where you can build a market, lead a team, and own the outcome, we'd love to connect.
