• Manage oversize and overlength permits, routing, and escort requirements as needed.
• Maintain accurate dispatch records, logs, and operational documentation.
• Resolve operational issues such as traffic delays, equipment shortages, or schedule conflicts.
• Coordinate the transition of operations from construction materials transport to steel cold-rolled coil logistics after the project phase.
• Ensure compliance with DOT regulations, company safety standards, and environmental policies.
