Nine to five but can be a real “pressure cooker”; no travel

A Truck Dispatcher is a vital link between the customer and the truck driver. He controls all of the communications for his company’s trucks with the push of a button. The destinations, timetables, maintenance schedules and truck locations go through a Truck Dispatcher who presides over a territory with awesome technology. A Dispatcher always knows where his trucks are with high-tech computers linked to a satellite system. He can track any box and any vehicle in the country.

A Truck Dispatcher is the nervous system of the company. The brain can tell the legs what to do but nothing happens without the spinal column. This spinal column is part of the huge body that makes the trucking company and nothing is going anywhere without a Dispatcher’s computer, written, spoken, organizational and team-building skills.
