Also, it will take your company to a much higher level because the dispatch department is in most cases the face of your company.
Optimize Routes So Drivers Can Have Some Home-time
Being a truck driver of an 18-wheeler truck and driving long haul loads is very stressful and hard job. Add on top of that situation that you don’t go home for a month or two and as a truck driver, you don’t see your loved ones.
Now you get the picture why truck drivers are sometimes in a bad mood and feel unhappy.
If you as a trucking company owner don’t take care of this and observe the dispatch department daily operations there is a big chance you might lose your very best truck drivers because of this.
Dispatchers have a natural desire to find as much as new loads as they can, they want truck drivers to be on a constant move so that company can gross as much as money it can on a weekly base.
This is their drive and this is what makes them happy. This is good, and you as a company owner want exactly this kind of people to work for you. However, sometimes there is a need to take the leg of the pedal and slow down.
