Do you love helping people? If you said yes, then The Towing Dispatcher job is right for you! Dispatchers are responsible for assigning drivers to towing calls. Dispatchers communicate with advocates as well as with tow drivers to schedule tows and make sure that services are delivered on time. Dispatchers are always available to answer any questions from drivers, help them avoid traffic issues, and keep them aware of inclement weather ahead. Tow truck dispatchers take calls for service, relay the requests to drivers, and monitor the progress of the tow. Using computer-aided dispatch systems, they keep records and prepare detailed reports of all calls and all communications with towing services. Dispatchers are required to stay in touch with drivers on the road, using phones, computers, or two-way radios, so they can solve problems and answer questions. For example, they can tell drivers which routes to take to avoid traffic jams.
