About the Role
We are a growing trucking operation built around a POD system, where each dispatcher is responsible for a dedicated group of trucks, drivers, and day-to-day operations.
This is not a basic dispatcher role.
Each POD Manager is responsible for the full performance of their POD, including:
- Dispatching and revenue generation
- Driver management and communication
- Driver onboarding and truck setup
- Periodic truck checks and yard presence
- Helping ensure the fleet is being maintained properly
- If you have experience in trucking operations, dispatch, brokerage, and fleet management, and you want to own the outcome of a 10-truck operation, this role offers strong upside and real responsibility.
POD Structure
Each POD includes:
- 10 drivers
- 11 trucks total
- 1 backup truck
- You will be the primary point of accountability for your POD.
Core Responsibilities
- Source and book profitable freight
- Plan reloads and backhauls to minimize downtime
- Communicate with brokers, shippers, and drivers in a fast and professional manner
- Manage day-to-day driver needs, schedules, and expectations
- Provide timely updates and ensure load tracking is handled properly
- Meet drivers at the yard when needed for truck setup and onboarding
- Help onboard new drivers into trucks and make sure they are properly set up for success
- Periodically inspect trucks and put eyes on equipment to ensure drivers are maintaining them properly
- Coordinate with ownership on maintenance concerns, truck readiness, and fleet standards
- Take ownership of overall POD performance with minimal owner involvement
Performance Expectations
- Fast response times
- Strong broker communication
- High truck utilization
- Little to no dead time between loads
- Strong driver accountability
- Professional onboarding and local yard support
- Regular truck oversight to maintain fleet standards
- Minimal day-to-day intervention from ownership
Ideal Candidate
- Experienced dispatcher, fleet manager, or former broker
- Comfortable managing a 10-truck POD like their own mini business
- Strong communicator with urgency and follow-through
- Able to balance revenue generation with driver management
- Comfortable meeting drivers in person, helping with onboarding, and checking equipment periodically
- Highly organized, accountable, and self-directed
Compensation
- Performance-based compensation
- Top earners can make $150K–$220K+ annually
- Compensation aligned with POD performance and operational ownership
Who This Role Is For
- Someone who wants full ownership of a POD
- Someone who can manage both the business side and the people side
- Someone who understands that this role includes both desk work and field involvement
Who This Role Is Not For
- Entry-level dispatchers
- People who only want to book loads
- Slow communicators
- Anyone who needs constant oversight
- Anyone unwilling to be hands-on with drivers and equipment
How to Apply
Send your resume and a short note including:
- The number of trucks/drivers you’ve managed
- Your dispatch or brokerage background
- Your experience with driver onboarding, yard coordination, or fleet oversight
- Why you’d be a fit for a performance-based POD structure
We are looking for operators who can fully own a POD — not just dispatch freight.
