AM Dispatcher – Motorcoach Operations

Description

Run the Morning. Own the Road.

Accokeek, MD | Full-time | Monday–Friday, 4:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Pay: $22–$25 per hour, based on experience

Adventure Tours has moved people since 1999. We started in Clinton, MD with a few buses and grew into a motorcoach operator running charter, line run and shuttle service from five markets:
Accokeek MD, Philadelphia PA, Long Island NY, Richmond VA and Charlotte NC. We run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and government agencies, universities and groups across the East Coast count on us every day.

• Own the pull-out. Arrive before the first report time, confirm every driver is checked in and fit for duty, and get every bus out of the yard on time.
• Fill the gaps fast. A driver calls out or a bus won’t start? You find coverage, swap equipment with maintenance, and keep the client whole.
• Watch the board. Track buses live by GPS, stay in constant contact with drivers, and catch late runs before the customer notices.
• Protect the clock. Build assignments that keep every driver inside federal hours-of-service limits.
• Be the first call. Handle breakdowns, delays, detours and accidents calmly, and notify clients and managers by the book.
• Keep the paper clean. Trip sheets, driver logs, vehicle inspection reports and dispatch notes, done right every shift.
• Hand off strong. Brief the PM dispatcher on open issues so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Competitive pay: $22–$25 per hour
• Health, dental and vision insurance
• Paid time off (PTO)
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Done by noon: your afternoons are yours
• A family-founded company where your ideas reach leadership
• Room to grow into operations supervisor and manager roles across five markets
