🚛 Dispatch & Transportation Admin Rock Star Wanted!

Join Our Team as a Transportation Administrator / Backup Dispatcher

🚀 About the Role

Do you like being the person who keeps trucks moving? We’re looking for a sharp, organized logistics pro to be our Transportation Administrator and primary backup dispatcher .

- ✅ Learn and support FMCSA/DOT compliance and transport regulations.

- ✅ Maintain ongoing communication with recurring service customers.

- ✅ Field occasional after-hours calls or tasks.

🙌 What We’re Looking For

- 1+ years of experience in dispatching , transportation or logistics is a must (customer service experience is a plus)

- Comfortable using (or quickly learning) dispatching software and Microsoft Office, especially Excel

- A friendly, solution-focused team player with a “let’s make it happen” mindset

- Familiarity with FMCSA/DOT regulations is a plus
