Dispatcher
About The Position
This role serves as the central coordination point for a team of 27 drivers (CDL and Box Truck) within a unionized manufacturing environment. Unlike high-volume logistics operations, this position supports a moderate, steady delivery schedule with a focus on consistency, service, and compliance rather than continuous high-volume dispatching. The Dispatcher plans daily routes, assigns loads, tracks shipments, and supports drivers to ensure reliable, on-time deliveries. This role is well-suited for someone who values a structured environment, predictable workflow, and strong team collaboration.
Requirements
- High School Diploma or equivalent
- Experience in dispatch, transportation coordination, or logistics support preferred
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with GPS/ELD systems a plus
- Strong organizational and communication skills
Responsibilities
- Driver Scheduling & Routing: Plan and assign daily routes and deliveries based on business needs and driver availability

- Tracking & Issue Resolution: Monitor shipments and proactively address delays, breakdowns, or service issues
- Compliance & Safety: Support DOT compliance, including HOS tracking and log review
