Shipping Coordinator / Dispatcher

We’re looking for highly organized, driven individuals who thrive in fast-paced environments and take pride in keeping operations running with precision.

At Locke Supply, High Character is our foundation. In this role, you’re more than a dispatcher—you’re an Employee-Owner who plays a direct role in the efficiency, reliability, and success of our distribution network. Your decisions and attention to detail help ensure our customers and branches receive the service they depend on every day.

Who is Locke Supply?

Locke Supply is 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP) and one of the most progressive supply houses in the Southwest. With a 100-acre Distribution Center in Oklahoma City and over 190 locations across six states, we are a leading distributor in the Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC markets.

Our success is built on people who take ownership—because here, you don’t just support the business, you help build it.

Your Role in Our Success

As a Shipping Coordinator / Dispatcher, you are a key driver of our Operational Excellence.

You ensure:

• Orders move efficiently from warehouse to customer
• Drivers are set up for success before they hit the road
• Deliveries are completed safely, accurately, and on time

Your ability to coordinate, adapt, and communicate directly impacts customer experience, branch performance, and the overall strength of our operation—and ultimately, the value of our shared ESOP.

Key Responsibilities

• Order Release & Flow: Release customer and transfer orders for timely pulling and shipment
• Route Dispatching: Plan, dispatch, and monitor delivery routes using Samsara software
• Real-Time Communication: Serve as the central point of contact for drivers—managing routes, delays, and issues throughout the day
• Delivery Visibility: Track progress, ETAs, and compliance to ensure consistent execution
• Accountability & Accuracy: Ensure proof of delivery (POD), photos, and notes are properly captured and documented
• Cross-Team Coordination: Work closely with warehouse, Will Call, and inventory teams to maintain smooth daily operations

Qualifications

• Experience in dispatching, logistics, warehouse operations, or transportation coordination preferred
• Familiarity with Samsara or similar fleet management systems is a plus
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Excellent communication and problem-solving ability
• Ability to prioritize and multitask in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• High attention to detail and follow-through

• Total Rewards: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and Disability
• Retirement: 401(k) options to complement your ESOP ownership

The Bottom Line

This role is for someone who:

• Takes pride in keeping operations running efficiently
• Communicates clearly and solves problems quickly
• Pays attention to the details others miss
• Understands that behind every successful delivery is strong coordination

At Locke Supply, dispatch isn’t just about moving trucks—it’s about keeping the entire business moving forward.
