Remote, based in Spain · 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central · US S-Corp / 1099 · English / Russian / Ukrainian

SUMMARY
Remote truck dispatcher with 13 years of over-the-road driving experience across dry van, reefer, flatbed, and Conestoga
equipment. Ran as both an owner-operator and a company driver, so I understand load economics from both sides of the
settlement sheet. One year dispatching in Alvys TMS. Fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian — able to communicate directly
with drivers, brokers, and shippers without a language barrier.
WHAT I BRING THAT MOST DISPATCHERS DON'T
• 13 years behind the wheel. I know what a driver can realistically run in a day, what HOS leaves on the clock, and when an
appointment time isn't achievable — before the load is booked, not after.
• Owner-operator experience. I've paid for my own fuel, tires, insurance, and repairs, so I read a rate the way an owner does —
against cost per mile, not gross.
• Multi-equipment. Dry van, reefer, flatbed, and Conestoga — including securement, tarping, temperature requirements, and
the differences in what each freight type demands.
• Trilingual. Direct communication with English-, Russian-, and Ukrainian-speaking drivers, which reduces misunderstandings
on securement, appointments, and paperwork.
• Full US business-day coverage. Available 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central, so drivers, brokers, and shippers reach a dispatcher
during their own working hours — not on a delay.
EXPERIENCE
Truck Dispatcher | 24/7 Logistics
• Dispatched 5 power units running flatbed and Conestoga freight nationwide, sourcing loads on DAT and through direct
customer relationships.
• Booked and covered an average of 25 loads per week, matching freight to driver hours, equipment, and lane preference.
• Managed the full load lifecycle in Alvys TMS: load entry, driver assignment, check calls, rate confirmations, BOL/POD
collection, and invoicing.
• Negotiated rates, detention, and layover pay with brokers, and pushed back on rates that would not clear cost per mile.
• Promoted from company driver — already knew the fleet, the lanes, and the customers before taking the dispatch desk.
Owner-Operator / CDL-A Driver
Leased to BSL · GSM Holding · Schwarz Logistics · Davis Cargo · Vista
• Operated dry van, flatbed, and Conestoga equipment nationwide as an owner-operator, leased to five carriers over the
period.
• Ran the business end: load selection, rate negotiation, fuel purchasing strategy, maintenance scheduling, and settlement
reconciliation.
• Built direct broker relationships that turned one-off loads into repeat lanes.
