Dispatcher

???? WERE HIRING | EXPEDITED/NFO & LOCAL COURIER DISPATCHER

???? Moonachie, NJ | Northern NJ Candidates

On The Go Cargo (OTG Cargo) is looking for an experienced courier/logistics dispatcher with strong knowledge of the NY/NJ/CT Tri-State market and an understanding of expedited, NFO and time-critical transportation.

This is primarily an in-office position at our Moonachie, NJ operations center , so we are specifically looking for candidates who live locally in Northern New Jersey. However, flexibility is important. At times, dispatchers may be asked to help cover shifts remotely when needed.

Our operation combines two worlds: we serve as a local pickup and delivery agent for expedited/NFO logistics companies nationwide , while also providing on-demand, scheduled and expedited courier services to our own Tri-State client base.

WHAT YOULL DO

Dispatch time-critical pickups and deliveries throughout the NY/NJ/CT Tri-State area

Coordinate drivers and make intelligent routing decisions based on traffic, geography, timing and customer requirements

Support national expedited and NFO partners with first/last-mile service, airport recoveries and tenders, shipment monitoring and status updates

Coordinate service involving EWR, JFK and LGA

Handle urgent medical, pharmaceutical, life-science, airfreight and other time-sensitive shipments

Communicate proactively with customers, drivers, airports and logistics partners from pickup through final delivery

Manage exceptions, delays and changing priorities in real time

Maintain accurate PODs, shipment documentation, chain-of-custody information and special handling instructions

Help cover operations remotely when necessary

WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR

Local Northern New Jersey resident able to work in Moonachie, NJ

Prior courier, messenger, expedited transportation or logistics dispatch experience

Strong working knowledge of Tri-State dispatching and geography

Experience supporting NFO/expedited companies as a local agent is a major plus

Airport cargo and EWR/JFK/LGA experience is highly desirable

Medical, pharmaceutical or life-science logistics experience is a plus

We're looking for someone who understands that successful expedited dispatching is more than assigning a driver. You need to know the market, anticipate problems, communicate constantly and find solutions when the original plan changes.
