About The Position

Above and Beyond Delivery is a local Arizona delivery company supporting time‑critical business‑to‑business operations throughout Arizona. Our team is built from people who show up, work hard, communicate early, and take pride in doing the job right - for our customers, our drivers, and each other. This role is best suited for dispatchers who thrive in a structured, fast‑paced environment, value consistency, and take ownership of ensuring routes run safely, accurately, and on time. Dispatchers play a critical role in supporting a safety‑first culture, reinforcing proper procedures and sound decision‑making while ensuring routes run safely, accurately, and on time. We believe in being upfront so there are no surprises after day one: This is a high‑responsibility role supporting time‑critical operations. Much of the work supports overnight and early‑morning routes. Schedules are structured but may require flexibility based on volume or disruptions. Must be able to support a safety‑first culture, reinforcing proper procedures and decision‑making at all times. You'll regularly manage challenges related to drivers, traffic, weather, equipment, and customer deadlines. Clear communication with drivers is essential - issues must be addressed early, not after the fact. The right candidate for this role is a proactive self‑starter who values accountability, embraces flexibility, and performs well in a dynamic, fast‑moving office environment. As a dispatcher, you play a critical role in keeping our local, time‑critical delivery operations running smoothly, especially during overnight and early‑morning hours. You are the primary point of contact for our drivers and are responsible for planning, scheduling, dispatching, and monitoring routes to ensure every delivery is executed safely and on schedule. You'll work closely with drivers, customers, and internal teams using modern, paperless dispatch technology, GPS tracking, and barcode asset tracking. Overnight dispatchers are responsible for ensuring routes launch on time, drivers are supported throughout the shift, and service commitments are met with minimal disruption. Successful dispatchers in this role are calm under pressure, proactive communicators, and driven by accountability rather than constant firefighting.
