Dispatcher Jobs in Hanover, MD

A Dispatcher in the logistics industry plays a crucial role in coordinating and managing the movement of goods, vehicles, or people. They are responsible for route planning, scheduling delivery and pick-up times, communicating with drivers, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. They also handle emergency issues, track shipments, monitor routes, and provide timely updates to clients.
