Dynamic Dispatchers of the Month: Laura N. and Susan B.

Dispatchers have been described as the quarterbacks of their teams. They are the ones who keep schedules on track and make the day run smoothly for our drivers and helpers. To recognize our amazing dispatchers, we are featuring two dynamic dispatchers every month! (See last month’s story here.)

This month, we’re thrilled to recognize Dispatchers Laura N. and Susan B.
