S&S Transport of Janesville is growing and looking to add a Driver Manager Assistant to help dispatch our drivers.
This position would work Tuesday-Saturday.
Driver Managers schedule vehicles to move goods.
They look at the particulars of what needs to be delivered and make the necessary arrangements.
They take into consideration factors such as the size of the load, the drivers who are available, the length of the trip, and when what is being carried needs to arrive.
Driver Managers typically work out of an office, warehouse, or other central location.
Hours vary by the industries serviced.
Driver Manager Duties and Responsibilities Getting things from one place to another involves performing a variety of tasks, along with other related duties assigned.
Scheduling Shipments and Deliveries Driver Managers look at what needs to be transported at what time to what destination, and they develop plans to move things in the most efficient way possible.
For instance, transportation dispatchers for a trucking company figure out if a rig already heading in a certain direction might be able to handle an additional load or if a different truck will need to make that delivery.
Handling Problems Plenty of things can go wrong on a journey.
From a truck with a flat tire to an unexpected roadway closure, unforeseen situations arise.
Driver Managers take action to make things right and limit disruptions.
They might send out another vehicle to take over the route, look for a new way to get to the desired destination, or notify customers or other concerned parties about a delay.
Maintaining Communication Driver Managers serve as a liaison between different departments and people.
They correspond with maintenance to see which vehicles are available and when out-of-service ones will be returned to the fleet.
They talk to drivers to ensure the trip is going as planned.
They field messages from customers wanting to confirm arrival time of their items or calling with complaints about damaged merchandise.
Reporting Companies want to keep their transportation costs down while still providing excellent service.
Employers often turn to Driver Managers to provide detailed accounts of activities to look for patterns or inefficiencies.
Monitoring Safety All companies must be concerned about safety, and dispatchers play a role.
For instance, they should know about limits on how long drivers can work without rest and take that into consideration when making schedules, along with OSHA requirements for working in the warehouse.
