AM Dispatcher – Motorcoach Operations

Description

Run the Morning. Own the Road.

While the city sleeps, you launch the fleet. Every morning at Adventure Tours, our motorcoaches roll out on charter trips, shuttle routes and line runs. Before the first wheel turns, one person has already lined it all up: the AM Dispatcher. If you love being the calm voice in a fast-moving operation, this seat is yours.

Accokeek, MD | Full-time | Monday–Friday, 4:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Pay: $22–$25 per hour, based on experience

• Who We Are
• Adventure Tours has moved people since 1999. We started in Clinton, MD with a few buses and grew into a motorcoach operator running charter, line run and shuttle service from five markets: Accokeek MD, Philadelphia PA, Long Island NY, Richmond VA and Charlotte NC. We run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and government agencies, universities and groups across the East Coast count on us every day.

What Your Morning Looks Like

• •Own the pull-out. Arrive before the first report time, confirm every driver is checked in and fit for duty, and get every bus out of the yard on time.
• •Fill the gaps fast. A driver calls out or a bus won’t start? You find coverage, swap equipment with maintenance, and keep the client whole.
• •Watch the board. Track buses live by GPS, stay in constant contact with drivers, and catch late runs before the customer notices.
• •Protect the clock. Build assignments that keep every driver inside federal hours-of-service limits.
• •Be the first call. Handle breakdowns, delays, detours and accidents calmly, and notify clients and managers by the book.
• •Keep the paper clean. Trip sheets, driver logs, vehicle inspection reports and dispatch notes, done right every shift.
• •Hand off strong. Brief the PM dispatcher on open issues so nothing falls through the cracks.
