🖥️ Behind the Desk: Those interested in Key Roles in Trucking & Logistics
Not every career in transportation happens behind the wheel. Many high-demand jobs are office or remote-based, supporting the industry’s growth and success.
- 📞 Dispatching
Dispatchers coordinate drivers, loads, and routes. They are the communication hub between the driver, shipper, and customer.
Think: the “air traffic controller” for trucks.
- 📊 Freight Brokerage
Brokers connect shippers (who need freight moved) with carriers (trucking companies who can haul it). They negotiate rates, manage contracts, and ensure goods are delivered efficiently.

Professionals plan, track, and oversee the movement of goods from origin to destination — including warehousing, distribution, and supply chain analytics.
- 📑 Compliance & Safety
Specialists monitor FMCSA/DOT regulations, safety scores, and driver compliance to ensure companies operate within federal laws.

Entrepreneurs and company leaders manage payroll, contracts, insurance, AI tools, and strategies for sustainable growth.
