Dispatcher / Logistics Manager
Poultry Science Association, Danville, Pennsylvania, us, 17822
At
Rushtown Poultry , our dispatch team plays a critical role in keeping operations moving safely, efficiently, and on schedule. We value people who take ownership of their work, communicate clearly, and understand the impact their decisions have across the business. As a company committed to quality, animal welfare, and responsible operations, we’re looking for dependable team members who thrive in a fast-paced, coordination-driven environment. Together, we work as one team to deliver consistency, accountability, and pride in the work we do every day.
As
Dispatcher / Logistics Manager , you are the nerve center. Ten drivers, multiple tractors and refrigerated trailers, cooler inventory, staging lanes, shop coordination, farmers, and the office all depend on you to keep everything moving smoothly. Your job is to bring
clarity, control, and speed
to what would otherwise be chaos.
This isn’t just dispatching trucks. This is about
owning the daily flow of a fast-moving supply chain
that keeps eggs, supplies, and people moving across a complex operation.
If you thrive under pressure, communicate with precision, and can keep operations moving without excuses, you’ll be at home here.
What You’ll Do:
Plan the Day:
Build and release the daily plan for 10 drivers — tractors, reefers, routes, and backhauls.
Run the Play:
Live-track loads, update ETAs, resolve delays, and call audibles with minimal downtime.
Sync with Farmers:
Confirm egg and supply counts to keep loads accurate.
Coordinate Equipment:
Partner with the shop to schedule tractor downtime, swaps, and repairs.
Cooler & Staging
Keep finished-goods inventory accurate
Create pick lists, stage by lane/stop, and verify counts/labels/seals
Prevent mis-loads through tight checks and staging discipline
Jump in on the dock when needed — forklift/pallet jack
Tools You’ll Use:
Motive
– ELD, live-tracking, preventative maintenance tracking
Excel / Google Sheets
– prebuilt routing, inventory, and reporting templates
What You’ll Bring:
2+ years in dispatch, logistics, or route planning (cold-chain/food industry preferred)
Comfortable with Motive (or similar ELD/fleet system)
Strong spreadsheet skills; you can update, track, and report without needing help
Independent thinker, able to make sound decisions on the spot
Clear, direct communicator across drivers, shop, plant, and office; calm under pressure
Comfortable in cooler/dock environments; able to lift up to 50 lbs when needed
Plus, not required: Spanish bilingual, forklift certification, prior CDL or driving experience
Schedule & Pay:
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (primary on-call window during these hours)
Compensation: $20 – $25/hour + overtime eligibility
Benefits:
50% employer-paid healthcare
401(k) with 5% match
Accruing PTO
6 paid holidays
Results That Matter:
Every driver leaves on time with the right load
ETAs are accurate and communicated — no surprises
Cooler inventory and staging are precise — no mis-loads, no missing pallets
Equipment downtime is coordinated; loads don’t stop when trucks do
The COO, plant, and office stay synced on POs, shipments, and performance
