    This is an entry-level role with plenty of growth potential. The Dispatcher will be trained to fully master both dispatching and delivering to ensure deep understanding.

    Leadership Track Responsibilities

    • Assist with onboarding, DA coaching, and performance feedback

    • Help implement a culture of safety, accountability, and excellence

    • Take on increased responsibilities as the company grows (DA Manager, Ops Manager, etc.)

    Required Qualifications

    • Must be at least 21 years old

    • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record

    • Open availability - mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays

    • Comfortable working 40+ hours per week

    • Strong communication and organizational skills

    • Ability to problem-solve quickly under pressure

    • Recruiting & Training Lead

    • Fleet Manager
