Dispatcher
Hi, my name is Danny. I’ve been a dispatcher for Coach USA for 18 years.
During the day, we have approximately 50 drivers reporting within three hours. When the driver checks in, he shows us all his DOT papers, meaning driver’s license, medical card. Then we assign the buses. We have books and we sign him that book for the day and their scanners.
We use scanners now for a passenger, when they board the bus and we hand them out a scanner. What dispatch is doing is assigning buses. The fill in drivers we assign, the fill-in runs. What I do is I help make sure they understand and make sure the run is completed thoroughly.
A successful person at Coach USA is one who takes pride in their work, who cares about their work and willing to listen to criticism and take full understanding of their job function.
I started out as a driver and from there, I became a dispatcher. From there, I became a dispatch supervisor and I hope to become maybe the general manager of the department, but there’s so many opportunities that to me, it’s unlimited.
