The Fleet Manager will be responsible for planning and running MSP Group fleet of about 100 trucks and trailers from Raigarh, including the RaigarhBarbil lane. The role covers trip scheduling, en-route tracking against TAT, fuel and FASTag control, vehicle maintenance coordination, driver performance and SOP discipline. The incumbent will reduce delays and cost per km, improve fleet availability and ensure protected, compliant transport operations.

This role puts you in charge of MSP's own truck fleet, which moves material on the RaigarhBarbil lane and on pan-India routes. Your decisions on trip planning, fuel, tracking and breakdown response show up directly in delivery turnaround and transport cost. You will lead a team of about 100 drivers and support staff, use GPS and digital tracking tools to run the fleet, and work closely with dispatch, maintenance and finance.
