Our client, Tractor Supply Company, is seeking a number of Supervisors for their new Distribution Center based in Franklin, KY.  These roles will enable Tractor Supply to grow and expand their network to better supply their growing store network across the country.

Founded in 1938 by Charles E. Schmidt, Sr. as a mail order tractor parts business, today Tractor Supply is the largest operator of retail farm stores in America. Our stores are located in rural communities and in the outlying areas of large cities—“Out Here”—where people feel a deep connection with their land. Our customers are as diverse as the products we carry: from farmers and ranchers to pet owners and hobbyists, construction and trades people, and suburban landowners. No matter what they’re looking for, they all get the individual attention and service that have become hallmarks of Tractor Supply stores around the country.

A publicly traded company (TSCO), today Tractor Supply operates stores in 44 states—employing over 15,000 friendly, community-minded team members—and we’re growing strong. It’s an exciting time to be a part of Tractor Supply as we take our business in bold new directions. If you’re passionate about service and looking for a place where you can put down roots and grow, join us.
