Construction Waste Hauling Dispatcher
Global Transloading, LLC is looking for an experienced Construction Waste Hauling Dispatcher to join our team in Signal Hill, CA.

Position Overview
The dispatcher is responsible for coordinating daily construction hauling operations, including driver scheduling, equipment assignments, job information, dump scheduling, paperwork, and communication between project managers, drivers, customers, dumps, and management.
This role requires strong judgment, attention to detail, urgency, and the ability to adjust quickly when jobs, drivers, trucks, or schedules change.
Responsibilities
- Schedule drivers and trucks for daily construction hauling work

- Coordinate with dump sites, customers, foremen, project managers, and operations management
- Monitor daily dispatch activity and adjust for breakdowns, call-offs, job changes, delays, and customer needs
- Make sure drivers have the proper paperwork, tickets, job details, and instructions before being dispatched
- Escalate safety, compliance, equipment, customer, or scheduling issues immediately
- Help maximize truck utilization and reduce unnecessary downtime
- Maintain accurate records and clear communication throughout the day
Requirements
- Prior dispatch experience required; construction hauling, trucking, aggregate, dirt, demo, asphalt, or waste hauling experience strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of truck and trailer types used in construction hauling preferred
- Ability to make sound decisions in a fast-moving environment
- Strong communication skills with drivers, customers, and internal staff
- Must be organized, reliable, and detail-oriented
- Must be able to prioritize work based on job needs, driver availability, equipment availability, and customer requirements
- Must be comfortable using phone, text, email, dispatch systems, and basic computer programs
- Must be able to escalate issues instead of letting problems sit unresolved
Ideal Candidate

This position requires someone who is:
