Dispatchers create and optimize delivery and transportation routes for professional drivers. They coordinate logistics with drivers and customers to ensure efficient, on-time deliveries. Dispatchers manage the following tasks:

Use mapping software to develop routes

To ensure that drivers deliver or pick up shipments on time, dispatchers use mapping software and logistics programs to plan routes. They consider customer schedules, road conditions and loading or unloading times as they develop the most efficient routes. Dispatchers typically share these routes with drivers electronically.

Serve as a liaison between drivers and customers

Dispatchers serve as intermediaries between drivers and customers, often relaying messages from one to the other. They often communicate customers’ delivery or pickup instructions to drivers and provide updates about drivers’ timelines to customers.

Monitor drivers’ locations

To do their jobs efficiently, dispatchers must know driver locations at all times. They rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) devices and computer programs to assess drivers’ whereabouts. They then use this information to plan routes, update customers or advise drivers about upcoming issues.

Resolve logistical problems quickly

Delivery drivers often encounter delays and other issues while completing their routes, which can lead to scheduling conflicts. Dispatchers help drivers address concerns such as construction, weather and heavy traffic. They use GPS and other applications to assess the severity and propose alternate routes or other solutions.

Develop a thorough understanding of the area

To create efficient routes and resolve unexpected issues quickly, dispatchers need an in-depth understanding of the area where their drivers and customers operate. They need to know major thoroughfares, height and weight restrictions and typical road conditions based on the time of day.

Build relationships with drivers and customers

To do their jobs well, dispatchers must build trust and develop relationships with drivers and customers. When dispatchers have strong relationships with their colleagues, drivers and customers can accept and manage delays and schedule changes more easily.
