Truck Router information

What is a truck router?

Truck Routers are logistics professionals responsible for planning, scheduling, and optimizing the routes trucks take to deliver goods efficiently and on time. They coordinate with drivers, monitor traffic and weather conditions, and use route planning software to minimize delivery times and costs. Truck Routers play a key role in ensuring customer satisfaction by maximizing delivery efficiency and maintaining compliance with transportation regulations.

What are common challenges truck routers face when coordinating delivery schedules, and how can they effectively manage them?

Truck Routers often need to juggle multiple delivery requests, last-minute changes, and traffic or weather disruptions. Balancing customer demands with optimal route efficiency can be challenging, especially when dealing with unexpected issues like vehicle breakdowns or delayed shipments. Successful Truck Routers stay organized, use routing software to quickly re-optimize schedules, and maintain clear communication with drivers and dispatch teams to adapt to changes in real-time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a truck router, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Truck Router, strong organizational skills, geographic knowledge, and experience in logistics or transportation are essential, often supported by a high school diploma or relevant work experience. Familiarity with routing software, GPS tracking systems, and transportation management systems (TMS) is typically required. Excellent communication, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail help Truck Routers manage schedules, address delays, and coordinate with drivers. These skills ensure efficient route planning, timely deliveries, and cost-effective fleet operations in a dynamic logistics environment.

CredentialsGPS navigation, routing software knowledgeCommunication skills, logistics experience
Work EnvironmentOffice-based, using routing softwareField and office, coordinating with drivers

While both roles are essential in trucking operations, a Truck Router focuses on planning efficient routes using specialized software, whereas a Truck Dispatcher manages driver assignments and communication. Understanding these differences helps companies optimize logistics and improve delivery times.

How much do truck routers make?

Truck routers typically earn between $40,000 and $70,000 annually, depending on experience, location, and the complexity of routing systems used. Many positions require knowledge of GPS and routing software, with some roles offering additional benefits or overtime pay.

Position Summary

The Router/Dispatcher is the operational control point for fuel delivery execution, responsible for building safe, efficient, and cost-effective routes for residential keep-fill and will-call, commercial, and industrial accounts. This role uses tank-monitoring data, degree-day and usage forecasts, and real-time field communication to sequence deliveries, assign drivers and vehicles, and keep the delivery day on track. The Router/Dispatcher serves as the primary communication link among drivers, customer care, sales, and field operations, and is responsible for adapting routes in real time in response to weather, road conditions, equipment issues, and emergency or no-heat calls. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, a strong cross-functional communicator, decisive under pressure, and comfortable using routing, dispatch, and tank-monitoring technology to keep deliveries safe, on time, and cost-effective.

Key Areas of Ownership

  • Daily route build and stop sequencing for all trucks and drivers on shift
  • Real-time re-routing decisions in response to weather, breakdowns, or emergency/no-heat calls
  • Driver-to-route assignments for the shift
  • Prioritization of will-call, keep-fill, and emergency deliveries within the delivery day
  • Route reviews and delivery-exception documentation
  • Daily hours-of-service (HOS) and route-feasibility check prior to dispatching drivers

Key Areas of Responsibility

  • Strong cross-functional communication across the organization with Commercial, Operations and Finance stakeholders
  • Keep-fill scheduling accuracy (tank telemetry, K-factor/degree-day calculations) – shared with Customer Care, which manages will-call orders
  • Route efficiency metrics (route adherence, gallons per mile) – reported to the Operations Manager
  • Delivery-window commitments for commercial and industrial accounts – coordinated with Industrial and Commercial Regional Account Management
  • Seasonal, peak-season capacity planning input – shared with the Operations Manager and Territory Director
  • Daily monitoring & upkeep of routing/dispatch software and tank-monitoring platform

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED required; coursework in logistics, supply chain, or transportation a plus.
  • 3+ years of dispatch, routing, or logistics coordination experience; propane, fuel distribution, or bulk delivery experience strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of DOT hours-of-service rules and fuel/hazmat distribution regulations.
  • Proficiency with routing/dispatch software, tank-monitoring platforms, and Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
  • Strong multitasking, communication, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced, safety-sensitive environment.
  • Availability for extended or non-standard hours during peak heating season, severe weather events, and on-call emergency coverage.
  • Strong experience using AI-enabled support tools.

Key Performance Indicators

  • On-time delivery percentage
  • Out-of-gas/no-heat incident rate
  • Gallons delivered per mile
  • Will-call vs. keep-fill delivery ratio
  • Driver hours-of-service compliance rate

Safety Responsibilities

The Router/Dispatcher is responsible for supporting routing and delivery activities in accordance with company safety policies, DOT regulations, FMCSA requirements, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

The position reinforces safe driving practices, regulatory compliance, and operational risk management, and partners with Safety and Operations leadership to investigate and address safety-related concerns.

Work Environment

Primarily an office/dispatch-center environment with frequent phone and electronic communication with drivers in the field. Requires flexibility for early morning, evening, weekend, and on-call availability during winter peak season and severe weather events.
