What Makes a Good Dispatcher-Essential Qualities

A truck dispatcher’s job is essentially to manage freight on behalf of a carrier. That includes using load boards and personal connections to locate freight that needs to be shipped, speaking to brokers, conducting negotiations, and eventually dispatching drivers and setting up their routes. In many cases, the position also includes some back-end work like reviewing truck drivers’ logs and tracking their hours.

Working as a dispatcher is more than showing up and taking a few calls on the radio. A truly excellent trucking dispatcher possesses the following skills and traits:

*Organized

*Focused

*Attention to detail

*Ability to multitask

*Adaptable

*High level of confidence

*Superior communication

*Empathic and compassionate

*Exceptional emotional self-control

Superior communication skills are essential as a trucking dispatcher. Written and verbal skills are necessary, but the ability to listen with a level of empathy and compassion is also required. The ability to understand exactly what someone needs and act on it — professionally and efficiently — is a skill that makes a dispatcher great.

Working as a trucking dispatcher can mean dealing with highly stressful and emotional situations. The ability to remain calm and act with reason, instead of emotion, is essential to success in this role. At times, dispatches change and can go in a different direction than originally planned. This is why it is important to maintain a level of flexibility and adaptability within the role. Thinking quickly and making good decisions and judgments with little time to plan ahead.
