This is a full-time, in-office position in Laredo, TX. Remote work is not available for this position.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their assigned loads and understands that successful dispatching requires more than simply providing a driver with pickup and delivery information.

The right candidate will stay on top of each load, communicate proactively, identify potential problems before they become larger issues, and make sure the team always knows the current status of the freight.
