About Us:

Prime Time Produce is a leading grower‑shipper of bell peppers and specialty produce, supplying top retail, foodservice, and wholesale customers across North America. As we continue to grow, transportation excellence becomes even more critical to our service, cost, and operational performance. This role strengthens that capability.

Role Overview:

The Transportation Supervisor manages daily freight execution while improving how we schedule loads, manage carriers, and coordinate across teams.

Build efficient loads that reduce cost without sacrificing service
Strengthen carrier reliability and accountability
