  • 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.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of trucking dispatch or logistics coordination experience.
