What does the day look like?
Your workday centers on phone calls and software updates. Around 35% of your time is spent calling truck drivers to log GPS locations, verify departure and arrival times, and confirm delivery windows. Another 30% goes to data entry in Transport Management Systems (TMS) such as McLeod LoadMaster, ProTransport, or Transporeon, along with uploading Proof of Delivery (POD) and Bill of Lading (BOL) documents. The remaining time involves checking driver hours-of-service via Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) and escalating transit delays to senior dispatchers.
Operations run on rotating 8-hour to 12-hour shifts: morning (06:00 to 14:30), afternoon (14:00 to 22:30), and overnight (22:00 to 06:30). When working for US carriers from Uzbekistan, shifts align with US Central Time (07:00 to 17:00), which corresponds to 17:00 to 03:00 local Tashkent time. Weekend on-call rotations are common to handle transit emergencies.
