  • Track KPIs (utilization, on-time service, deadhead, cost per load) to drive performance
  • Build and develop dispatch processes and team as the operation scales

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on dispatch experience with roll-off trucks (required)
  • Experience in high-volume trucking, recycling, or similar environments
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and develop drivers
  • Deep understanding of routing, scheduling, and real-time dispatch
  • Working knowledge of DOT compliance and safety standards
  • Data-driven mindset with the ability to improve efficiency and reduce costs
  • Hands-on, no-excuses approach—willing to step in and execute

  • Consistent, reliable customer service
  • Ability to build scalable systems and processes
