- Work directly with customers to answer questions, coordinate deliveries, address service needs, and resolve issues.
- Work closely with other dispatchers to coordinate operations across company territories.
- Monitor customer needs, fuel inventories, pricing information, and distribution requirements.
- Respond quickly and professionally when schedules, customer needs, equipment availability, or other circumstances change.
- Maintain accurate and organized records of work requests, completed work, customer requests, charges, expenses, inventory information, and other operational records.
- Help ensure company operations remain compliant with applicable DOT rules and regulations.

- Professional when communicating with customers and drivers
- Detail-oriented

What We Provide
Company-provided phone and computer
You'll have the tools necessary to communicate with drivers, customers, and management and effectively perform your responsibilities.
More Than Dispatch — A Unique Opportunity to Learn the Business
One of the greatest advantages of this position is the exposure it provides to nearly every aspect of the company.
Dispatch sits at the center of our day-to-day operation. In this role, you won't be limited to simply scheduling trucks and drivers. You'll gain firsthand experience and understanding of how the different parts of the business work together.
You'll have regular involvement and communication with:
- Sales — understanding customer needs, new business, and service expectations.
- Customers — building relationships and understanding what it takes to provide excellent service.
- Pricing — learning how pricing decisions affect customers and daily operations.
- Billing — gaining exposure to the process from completed delivery through customer billing.
- Drivers & Operations — developing a strong understanding of transportation, scheduling, equipment, and real-world operational challenges.
- Management — working closely and communicating regularly with company leadership and upper management.
This creates an opportunity to develop something extremely valuable: an understanding of the entire business rather than just one department.
A Position Built for Growth
For someone who is driven, curious, willing to learn, and consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic, dispatch can be one of the best positions in the company to prepare yourself for future growth.
Because of the position's involvement across so many areas of the business, the right individual has the opportunity to develop the knowledge, relationships, decision-making skills, and operational experience needed to take on greater responsibilities.
At Generations Transport, advancement is not simply based on how long someone has been here. Initiative, performance, accountability, leadership, and the willingness to learn matter.
We want someone who sees this position as an opportunity to learn the business, make an impact, and build toward something bigger.
Compensation
Pay: Competitive – based on experience
Compensation may vary depending on the candidate's previous dispatch, transportation, logistics, customer service, and related professional experience.
