Job Description

Operations & Logistics Coordinator (Evening Fuel Dispatcher)
Location: Norwalk, CA (On-Site)
Schedule: Full-Time, Set Schedule: Thursday through Monday, starting at 2:00 PM
Starting Compensation: $75,000 / year (Salaried, DOE) + Comprehensive Benefits

Since starting with a single fuel truck in 2001, PSPI has grown into a premier on-site fueling partner across California and Nevada. We don't expect you to know commercial trucking regulations on Day 1. If you bring sharp leadership, urgency, and composure under pressure, our structured 5-week paid Dispatcher Training & Mastery Program (complete with software training, cross-departmental shadowing, and driver ride-alongs) will teach you everything you need to run the board like a pro.

What You Will Own (The Evening Command Role)
As our PM Dispatcher, you are the operational quarterback for our evening fleet. Instead of passive data entry, you will actively lead shifts, solve real-time puzzles, and set the morning team up for success:

Live Fleet & Route Command: Direct daily routes for 5 to 10 commercial fuel drivers using GPS telematics (Samsara) and dispatch software (Fleet Panda), pivoting quickly for traffic, truck maintenance, call-outs, or urgent customer requests.
Shift Leadership & Accountability: Manage driver attendance, balance workloads to control overtime, and monitor driver safety and Hours of Service (HOS) compliance throughout the night.
Cross-Team Problem Solving: Partner directly with Account Managers, Yard Maintenance, and Drivers to protect high-priority deliveries, and step outside to support drivers in the yard with keys, fittings, or equipment checks when needed.
Data Accuracy & Evening Close: Verify driver delivery logs and meter readings continuously so Billing receives flawless data, execute a detailed play-by-play handoff for the AM team, and secure the facility at close (while remaining reachable for late-night driver check-ins).

Who Thrives in This Seat (Qualifications)
Some of our strongest dispatchers transitioned from high-volume retail, food service, and hospitality supervision, as well as traditional logistics. You will excel here if you bring:

2+ years of fast-paced supervisory or coordination experience: High-volume Retail Supervisors, Shift Managers, Assistant Store Managers, Hospitality/Food Service Leaders, Warehouse Leads, or experienced Dispatchers / Class A & B Drivers.
Unshakeable Focus & Multitasking: Proven ability to juggle phones, live tracking boards, and shifting priorities simultaneously without losing focus or dropping details.
Calm, Professional Authority: Clear, respectful communication style with the ability to coach drivers, update customers, and collaborate with leadership without getting defensive under pressure.
Tech Savvy & Detail-Oriented: Comfortable working across multiple monitors, spreadsheets (Microsoft Office), and real-time tracking apps with high accuracy.
High School Diploma or equivalent.

Bonus Points (Preferred, Not Required):

Familiarity with Southern California freeways and commercial geography.
Prior dispatch, fleet logistics, or commercial driving experience.

Why Make the Move to PSPI?

Strong Starting Pay: $75,000/year starting base salary.
Paid Hands-On Mastery Training: Transition industries with confidence through our structured 5-week training program, including dispatch software labs, cross-departmental shadowing, and in-cab driver ride-alongs.
Mission-Driven Impact: Step away from retail sales quotas and into essential emergency response and commercial infrastructure support.
Long-Term Wealth & Benefits: Full benefits package including Medical/Dental/Vision, 401(k) with company contribution, and company ownership through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
