Job Description
**P\&E Express**, a fast\-growing, ambitious new trucking company. Unlike the giant corporate carriers where you are just a number, we operate like a tight\-knit family. We currently run a fleet of **5 Trucks** with **Dry Van Trailers** and are looking for a sharp, driven Freight Dispatcher to help us scale. If you want to have a direct impact on a company’s success and grow your career as we grow our fleet, this is the place for you.
**Position Overview:**
As our primary Freight Dispatcher, you will be the pulse of our operations.

We need someone who is resourceful, thrives in a fast\-paced environment, and knows how to negotiate.
**What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):**
* **Load Booking \& Negotiation:** Source profitable loads using DAT, Truckstop, and direct broker networks. Negotiate the highest possible rates per mile.
* **Driver Management:** Route and dispatch drivers, keeping their hours of service (HOS) and preferences in mind. Act as their primary point of contact for issues on the road.
* **Broker Relations:** Build and maintain strong relationships with freight brokers to secure dedicated lanes and repeat business.

* **Communication Skills:** Strong verbal and written communication. You must be able to negotiate firmly with brokers while maintaining a supportive, respectful relationship with drivers.
* **Tech Savvy:** Comfortable using ELD monitoring software, TMS platforms, and standard tech tools (Google Workspace/Excel).
* **Thick Skin \& Calm Under Pressure:** Logistics changes fast. We need someone who solves problems logically when things don't go according to plan.
**Pay \& Perks:**
* Competitive base pay (**$45,000**) plus **1% commission per load booked**.
* Direct access to ownership—your ideas will be heard and implemented.
