Trucking Dispatcher / Logistics Coordinator

About the role

This role is for an experienced, driven dispatcher who coordinates daily trucking schedules for various operations including construction projects, retail customers, plant operations, liquid asphalt hauling, raw material deliveries, and equipment moves. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced environment and will play a critical role in logistics coordination.

Responsibilities

• Cook up daily trucking schedules for construction projects, retail customers, plant operations, liquid asphalt hauling, raw material deliveries, and lowboy equipment moves.
• Confirm that all trucking requests are accepted and fully covered before the next day's work begins.
• Monitor trucking activity throughout the day and make real-time adjustments when schedules, production needs, weather, equipment, or job conditions change.
• Communicate continuously with drivers, third-party trucking partners, foremen, project superintendents, plant personnel, customer service representatives, and construction leadership.
• Strategically balance Shepley Motors trucks and third-party brokers to meet operational needs while controlling costs.
• Coordinate Shepley lowboy drivers, equipment locations, permits, and the cost tracking associated with equipment moves.
• Maintain accurate trucking, driver, vendor, rate, timecard, permit, and payment information within XBE and other company systems.
• Review operational and financial data, identify waste, and recommend improvements.
• Help strengthen our dispatching processes, technology, and overall approach to logistics.

Requirements

You may be a great fit if you have meaningful dispatching, trucking coordination, logistics, or plant scale experience. Understanding the pace and unpredictability of trucking, construction, heavy highway, asphalt, aggregate, or a similar operational environment is crucial. You should also be able to look several steps ahead while still responding calmly when the plan changes. Building credibility with drivers, field leaders, vendors, and managers is important. Comfortable making decisions, solving conflicts, and communicating directly is required. Highly organized and capable of managing multiple schedules, priorities, and conversations at once is beneficial. Understanding that operational details matter and that missed details cost time and money is key. Data-driven and willing to learn new technologies quickly are valued traits. Previous dispatch or plant scale ticketing experience is strongly preferred.

Qualifications

The position requires at least a high school diploma or equivalent, and previous dispatch or plant scale ticketing experience is strongly preferred.

Skills

Experience with XBE, construction software, plant ticketing systems, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Laserfiche, Spectrum, or Monday.com is valuable, but we are willing to teach our systems to the right experienced operator.

Benefits

At Shepley Motor Express, logistics directly impacts our crews, customers, financial performance, and ability to deliver excellent work.
