Dispatcher Jobs in New York

A Dispatcher in the logistics industry plays a crucial role in coordinating and managing the movement of goods, vehicles, or people. They are responsible for route planning, scheduling delivery and pick-up times, communicating with drivers, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. They also handle emergency issues, track shipments, monitor routes, and provide timely updates to clients. They serve as a critical link between the company and its drivers, customers, and vendors, ensuring smooth operation and customer satisfaction.

Essential skills for a Dispatcher include strong communication and customer service skills, problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and proficiency in relevant software and technologies. They should also have a good geographical knowledge and the ability to work under pressure. While not always mandatory, some companies may prefer Dispatcher candidates with relevant certifications such as Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) or Certified in Logistics, Transportation, and Distribution (CLTD). Prior to becoming a Dispatcher, a person might have roles like Customer Service Representative, Logistics Coordinator, or Delivery Driver, which provide relevant experience in the field.
