Don't Buy Operational Efficiency at the Cost of Valuable Drivers!

Earlier dispatchers were retired truckers who had driven professionally for a living and they understood that mileage was equal to the money paid to drivers. Present day dispatchers are young men and women out of college - who have never driven anything bigger than a SUV. They are good in load matching and emails but not of much help to the people behind the wheels, in terms of information and assistance.

As dispatch software use became widespread, trucking companies saw the need to hire young employees to operate such software. Also, since they work in lower wages, being new to the workforce, they are popular among carriers. However, unfortunately, these new age dispatchers are the cause of suffering for truckers. Reason being, truckers have to deal with the trucking company through dispatcher who have limited knowledge about the industry and the people behind the wheels.
