TransAm Carriers Inc.

Canada / Global

Dispatch Manager

Job Description

About the role Transam Carriers runs 120+ trucks out of Concord, Ontario — cross-border LTL and truckload, our own customs desk, our own cross-dock.

Our dispatch runs as several desks: East Coast LTL and express, East Coast full truckload, western long-haul, Midwest and Chicago short-haul, and city. Each desk is strong on its own. Nobody owns all of them.

That is the job. You would run the entire dispatch floor.

What you would own

- Every dispatch desk and the dispatchers on them — coverage, standards, escalation, who is on call

- Service performance: on-time pickup and delivery, and the honesty of the ETAs we give customers

- How the desks work with each other rather than around each other — today each desk plans its own trucks, and the company pays for that at the seams

- Driver experience on the operations side. Dispatch decisions are the biggest single factor in whether a driver stays

- The working relationship with sales, safety and the shop, so commitments made are commitments that can be run

What we are looking for

- You have managed dispatchers, not only dispatched. We need someone who can take the desk off other people, not add another person to it

- Cross-border experience: customs, bonded moves, border timing, and what actually happens when a truck is held

- You can hold a standard without burning out the room. Dispatch is a high-turnover seat and we would rather fix that than keep refilling it

- Comfortable with systems and data — we run our own TMS and you will have live visibility into every truck

What we offer

- A real mandate. This role exists because the floor needs an owner, and you would be it

- Direct line to ownership

- Modern tooling — live GPS, our own dispatch and tracing systems, and a team that builds what operations actually asks for

- Based at our Concord terminal

How we hire We use an AI phone screen for the first conversation on some roles — you will be told before it starts, and a person makes every hiring decision.

Pay: Depends on qualification
