Trucking Dispatcher​/Logistics Coordinator

Ready to take ownership of the day & not just react to it?

Gallagher Asphalt is looking for an experienced, driven dispatcher who thrives in a fast-moving operation and knows how to keep trucks, drivers, materials, and projects moving efficiently.

This is not a role for someone who waits for problems to appear. We are looking for a proactive logistics professional who anticipates needs, builds strong relationships, adjusts quickly, and takes pride in finding a better way. You will play a critical role in coordinating trucking across construction projects, asphalt plants, retail customers, material deliveries, liquid hauling, and equipment moves.

You will join a team that works hard, solves problems together, and genuinely cares about the people behind the operation. At Shepley Motor Express, logistics is not just a support function, it directly impacts our crews, customers, financial performance, and ability to deliver excellent work.

As our Logistics Coordinator, you will:

• Coordinate daily trucking schedules for construction projects, retail customers, plant operations, liquid asphalt hauling, raw material deliveries, and lowboy equipment moves.
• Confirm that trucking requests are accepted and fully covered before the following day’s work begins.
• Monitor trucking activity throughout the day and make real-time adjustments when schedules, production needs, weather, equipment, or job conditions change.
• Communicate continuously with drivers, third-party trucking partners, foremen, project superintendents, plant personnel, customer service representatives, and construction leadership.
• Strategically balance Shepley Motors trucks and third-party brokers to meet operational needs while controlling costs.
• Coordinate Shepley lowboy drivers, equipment locations, permits, and the cost tracking associated with equipment moves.
• Monitor incoming aggregate, asphalt cement, millings, rejuvenator, and other material deliveries to plants and jobsites.
• Maintain accurate trucking, driver, vendor, rate, timecard, permit, and payment information within XBE and other company systems.
• Review operational and financial data, identify waste, and recommend improvements.
• Help strengthen our dispatching processes, technology, and overall approach to logistics.

This position will have real ownership and clear performance expectations. A major focus will be eliminating trucking waste through stronger planning, scheduling, communication, and driver utilization.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have meaningful dispatching, trucking coordination, logistics, or plant scale experience.
• Understand the pace and unpredictability of trucking, construction, heavy highway, asphalt, aggregate, or a similar operational environment.
• Can look several steps ahead while still responding calmly when the plan changes.
• Know how to build credibility with drivers, field leaders, vendors, and managers.
• Are comfortable making decisions, solving conflicts, and communicating directly.
• Are highly organized and can manage multiple schedules, priorities, and conversations at once.
• Understand that operational details matter—and that missed details cost time and money.
• Use data to find waste, improve performance, and hold yourself accountable.
• Learn technology quickly and are comfortable working across several systems.
• Want more than “just another dispatch job” and are hungry to grow your impact and career.

Experience with XBE, construction software, plant ticketing systems, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Laserfiche, Spectrum, or  is valuable, but we are willing to teach our systems to the right experienced operator.
