I'm looking for 2 candidates to work as truck dispatchers in the US (remotely from Colombia, anywhere). A trucking dispatcher is a person who coordinates the movement of cargo between brokers, shippers and carriers (trucking companies), this person books loads from brokers in something called a LOADBOARD; a loadboard is a listing where shippers and brokers post their loads and dispatchers either bid or contract the load directly from brokers and shippers at an agreed rate.
This job offer is done remotely, the dispatcher can work from home with a computer and an internet connection. The person applying for this job MUST MEET rigurously every requirement to be considered for the position. So if you do not meet the requirements then you would be wasting your time and mine, the requirements are very specific and easy to understand, if you made it this far in this post then you most likely meet one of the requirements.
