Job Description
About the Role
This is a performance-based dispatch role designed for independent contractors who thrive in a self-directed environment. You will work directly with owner-operators under their own authority, managing the logistics of freight movement. Earnings are strictly commission-based, meaning your income is directly tied to your efficiency, negotiation skills, and the volume of carriers you manage. This position offers the flexibility to control your schedule and growth trajectory while providing high earning potential for those who excel.
What You’ll Do
As a Freight Dispatcher, you will serve as the critical link between brokers and owner-operators. Your day-to-day involves booking loads through various broker networks and load boards, negotiating competitive rates, and coordinating the logistical details of pickups, deliveries, tracking, and paperwork. You will communicate professionally with both drivers and brokers to ensure smooth operations, all while managing your workflow independently without direct supervision.
Who This is For
This role is ideal for individuals who prefer commission-based income with high earning potential over a fixed salary. It is suited for those who are organized, dependable, and self-motivated, capable of staying productive without constant oversight. If you want the freedom to control your schedule and drive your own growth, this position aligns with your professional goals.
What’s Provided
To support your success, we provide comprehensive training resources and support systems. You will receive workflow templates and operational guidance to streamline your processes. Additionally, we offer options for sourcing owner-operators to dispatch and a structured performance incentive program based on results, rather than guaranteed or upfront bonuses.
