Who You Are (The Ideal Candidate)

• Success-Driven: You don’t just meet goals; you exceed them. You take pride in "winning the day" by ensuring every route is completed efficiently.

• A People Person: You can build rapport with drivers in the yard and maintain a professional, helpful tone with customers on the phone—all in the same hour.

• Cool Under Pressure: You enjoy the "puzzle" of logistics and stay calm and focused when things change quickly.

• Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with advanced software (like TRUX) and enjoy using tools to optimize performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Be the Hub: Act as the central point of communication, dispatching calls to routes and ensuring drivers have everything they need to succeed.

• Optimize & Improve: Work closely with routing specialists to find the most efficient paths, saving time and resources.

• Solve Problems Before They Start: Proactively identify potential delivery or pickup issues and resolve them before they impact the customer.

• Collaborate for Quality: Partner with Maintenance, Sales, and Operations to ensure a seamless workflow and a "one-team" culture.

• Daily Leadership: Perform driver check-ins, review paperwork for accuracy, and assist in determining staffing levels to maximize responsiveness.

Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies

• Experience: 1-2 years in transportation, dispatch, or high-volume customer service.

• Communication: Elite interpersonal skills; you must be able to communicate effectively via email, phone, and two-way radio.

• Prioritization: A proven ability to juggle multiple tasks without dropping the ball.

• Education: High school diploma required (post-secondary education is a definite plus).

• The "Plus" Factor: If you have TRUX experience, that’s great—but if you have the drive and the technical aptitude to learn it, we want to talk to you.
