Core Responsibilities

  • Maintain control throughout the day, adjusting for weather, breakdowns, jobsite delays, or staffing gaps
  • Balance productivity, safety, and customer commitments in all dispatch decisions
  • Set clear expectations for drivers at the start of each shift
  • Protect the Burns Logistics brand through disciplined, reliable execution

Planning & Coordination – Own It

  • Build daily haul plans aligned with job priorities, permits, and fleet availability
  • Confirm driver readiness, truck availability, and jobsite requirements before dispatch
  • Anticipate constraints and proactively adjust plans to prevent delays or missed loads
  • Coordinate with Operations Managers, Project Teams, and customers on sequencing and priorities
  • Ensure drivers understand routes, schedules, and expectations before rolling

Production & Efficiency – Raise the Bar

  • Reconcile tickets against dispatch logs to identify:
    Missing tickets
    Duplicate entries
    Load count discrepancies
    Incorrect job or location data
  • Flag and communicate discrepancies quickly to drivers, dispatch, or operations
  • Support same-day or next-day ticket reconciliation to maintain data integrity
  • Maintain organized ticket records for traceability, audits, and reporting

Key expectation: Dispatch data and ticket records must be accurate enough that payroll and billing can operate without rework.


Logistics Administrative Support

  • Support the Logistics Administrator in maintaining clean and organized load documentation
  • Assist with tracking and organizing ticket flow across multiple jobs and customers
  • Help maintain standardized processes for ticket handling and system usage
  • Support data cleanup and system accuracy within dispatch platforms
