Job Description
Turn your communication, organization, and problem-solving skills into a career in U.S. trucking and logistics.
Truck Driver Nation LLC is hiring a full-time Entry-Level Freight Dispatcher to work directly with our team and support our U.S. freight-dispatch operations from a remote, work-from-home environment.
Previous freight-dispatch experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with transferable experience in trucking, transportation, logistics, customer service, sales, operations, scheduling, coordination, or other fast-paced professional environments are encouraged to apply.
Direct freight-dispatch experience is not required for every candidate. Relevant professional experience, transferable skills, transportation knowledge, and the ability to learn quickly will also be considered.
What You'll DoAs an Entry-Level Freight Dispatcher, you will help coordinate freight movement and maintain communication between drivers and the businesses involved in moving each load.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Search and evaluate available freight based on truck location, equipment, mileage, rates, and operational requirements.
- Communicate professionally with drivers, brokers, carriers, shippers, receivers, and customers.
- Negotiate freight rates when authorized.
- Calculate mileage and rate per mile when evaluating potential loads.
- Plan loads and assist with efficient trip planning.
- Coordinate pickup and delivery appointments and requirements.
- Monitor active loads from pickup through delivery.
- Maintain accurate dispatch records, load notes, and documentation.
- Provide timely status updates and follow up on active shipments.
- Assist drivers with routine issues that arise during dispatched loads.
- Identify delays, scheduling conflicts, or other operational issues and communicate them promptly.
- Maintain professional working relationships with drivers, brokers, carriers, and customers.
- Freight-dispatch experience is preferred but not required.
- Relevant experience in trucking, transportation, logistics, customer service, sales, scheduling, operations, administrative coordination, or similar professional environments will be considered.
- Fluent spoken and written English.
- Strong professional communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
- Confidence communicating by phone, email, and web-based business systems.
- Ability to perform basic mileage and rate-per-mile calculations accurately.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently and remain accountable in a remote environment.
- Computer suitable for daily professional remote work.
- Reliable high-speed internet connection.
- Reliable and professional work-from-home environment.
- Availability during required U.S. freight-operating hours.
- Familiarity with U.S. trucking, transportation, or logistics operations is an advantage.
You may be a strong candidate if you naturally think ahead, communicate confidently, pay attention to details, and understand how individual decisions can affect a driver's time, a customer's freight, and the profitability of a truck.
Direct freight-dispatch experience can be valuable, but it is not the only relevant background. Strong communication, customer service, sales, transportation knowledge, scheduling experience, problem-solving ability, and experience coordinating multiple moving parts can transfer well into this position.
ScheduleFull-time, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Schedule adjustments may occasionally be required based on active freight operations, pickup and delivery requirements, or driver needs.
Compensation$20.00–$25.00 per hour, based on experience and qualifications.
