Full Job Description

Head Dispatcher

USA Logistics, Inc.
Chicago, IL (On-Site Preferred)

About USA Logistics

USA Logistics is a fast-growing transportation company operating nationwide with a mix of owner-operators, company drivers, dedicated freight, and spot market operations.

We are building a scalable operations platform focused on:

Dedicated customer relationships
Long-term account growth
Strong driver retention
Operational discipline
High service performance
Profitable fleet utilization

We are looking for a senior transportation operator who understands both sides of modern trucking operations:

Managing high-performing load board / spot market teams
Building and scaling dedicated freight operations and customer accounts

This is not a traditional dispatcher role. This is a leadership role responsible for helping scale and professionalize the operational backbone of the company.

Position Summary

The Head Dispatcher will oversee and lead dispatch operations across USA Logistics’ national OTR fleet.

This person will manage dispatch strategy, dispatcher performance, fleet utilization, driver communication standards, service execution, dedicated account operations, and operational profitability.

The ideal candidate has experience:

Running high-volume OTR dispatch teams
Managing dedicated customer freight
Building operational processes and accountability
Leading dispatchers and developing talent
Balancing spot market execution with long-term customer strategy
Improving operational KPIs beyond just top-line gross revenue

This role requires someone who can think strategically while still operating effectively in a fast-paced trucking environment.

Issue resolution
Develop scalable processes for dedicated operations as the company grows
Partner with sales leadership on customer retention and account expansion opportunities
Understand customer expectations and ensure operational execution aligns with long-term relationship growth

Spot Market & Load Board Operations

Oversee day-to-day spot market operations and load board execution
Ensure dispatch teams maximize truck utilization and minimize downtime
Improve lane planning and strategic freight selection
Monitor freight market conditions, rates, lane trends, and operational profitability
Reduce operational inefficiencies including:
Excessive deadhead
Poor reload planning
Service failures
Driver downtime
Help balance short-term revenue generation with long-term operational health

Driver Operations & Communication

Maintain strong communication standards between dispatch and drivers
Support driver retention through professionalism, responsiveness, and operational consistency
Ensure drivers receive accurate load information, appointment updates, routing guidance, and issue resolution
Assist with escalation management involving:
Service failures
Breakdowns
Delays
Driver disputes
Customer issues
Work collaboratively with safety, recruiting, accounting, and maintenance departments

Operational Strategy & Process Improvement

Build systems and processes that allow the company to scale efficiently
Help implement operational technology and workflow improvements
Develop reporting and operational visibility across the fleet
Identify inefficiencies and create scalable solutions
Assist leadership with forecasting, staffing strategy, and operational planning
Help transition the company from a reactive dispatch environment into a process-driven transportation operation

Ideal Candidate

The right candidate understands that dispatch is not just about covering loads.

This person understands:

Driver psychology
Dedicated customer expectations
Freight market strategy
Margin management
Fleet utilization
Team leadership
Operational accountability

They should be comfortable leading both:

Fast-paced spot market teams
Structured dedicated operations

The ideal person is highly organized, calm under pressure, operationally strong, and capable of making sound decisions quickly.

Experience managing both owner-operators and company drivers
Experience building dispatcher compensation structures and operational KPIs
Experience implementing TMS, workflow automation, or operational technology
Familiarity with Alvys, Samsara, or modern fleet management systems
Experience with dedicated freight development and long-term customer account management
