Overwatch Dispatcher Overwatch is United Road’s centralized operations and risk monitoring team, providing real-time visibility, proactive exception management, and escalation support across our transportation network. The role The Overwatch Dispatcher plans, assigns, and manages loads from tender to delivery. This seat buys third-party capacity within the rate corridor, keeps carriers loyal to the network, and owns the status truth on every active order on its board. It is also a service seat. When a vehicle is running behind, sitting too long, or off plan, the Dispatcher knows it first, fixes what can be fixed, and tells the right people before they have to ask. The role calls for someone who thinks quickly, exercises independent judgment, and works with professional car haulers, account managers, and internal stakeholders in a courteous and professional manner every day. The best people in this seat balance a car hauler's revenue needs against service requirements and company profitability, on every load, without losing their tone or their temper.
