Oversee daily dispatch operations, including trip assignment, routing, and real-time monitoring. Ensure trips are scheduled and dispatched in accordance with company policies, broker rules, and regulatory requirements. Monitor live operations (late runs, no-shows, will-calls, add-ons) and direct dispatchers to make timely adjustments. Develop and implement routing strategies to improve on-time performance and reduce deadhead, mileage, and wait times. Hire, train, schedule, and supervise dispatchers and call-takers. Provide daily direction, coaching, and support to dispatch staff. Conduct regular performance evaluations and address performance or attendance issues as needed.

Ensure dispatch operations comply with HIPAA, ADA, DOT, state/local NEMT regulations, and broker guidelines. Verify that special needs (wheelchair, stretcher, bariatric, escorts, oxygen, etc.) are correctly noted and accommodated in scheduling. Support incident management by documenting and communicating service issues, accidents, or complaints to appropriate leadership. Reinforce safety protocols with dispatch staff and drivers (e.g., no routing drivers into unsafe conditions, proper trip notes, etc.). Oversee effective use of dispatch software, GPS/AVL, and communication systems (phones, radios, tablets/apps). Identify and troubleshoot issues with systems and processes that affect dispatch performance. Develop or refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) for scheduling, will-calls, cancellations, and same-day changes. Participate in or lead projects to improve efficiency, service quality, and data accuracy. Track and analyze key metrics such as on-time performance, call answer times, hold times, trip denials, and dispatch errors. Provide regular reports and updates to Transportation Manager/Director of Operations. Use data to identify trends, training needs, and opportunities for process changes. Support contract and broker reporting requirements as needed.
