How much does a transport supervisor make?

They check orders and schedules, then assign workers and equipment to jobs. During the shift, they watch safety, answer calls, solve problems, and may arrange vehicle repairs.

Did you know? Some transport supervisors send workers and vehicles in response to emergency reports by phone or radio.

In the U.S., a common path is high school or a GED, then related transportation or material-moving work before supervising. O*NET lists prior experience, job training, and a Driver Manager apprenticeship as one possible route.

Why does pay differ?

In the U.S., pay can differ with experience, useful training or credentials, and the employer’s industry and location. More complex duties and greater responsibility may bring higher pay.
