Today is a great day to check your receiver's holiday hours for the Easter weekend. Don't wait until Friday when some may already be closed. Check, and double check receiving hours and make sure that the carriers you are booking understand so they aren't left stranded somewhere over the weekend!

Has any dispatchers recently getting feedback from the driver and carriers about getting fuel at the pumps and it’s a minimum or it limited them to get a full tank?

From a conversation here, I’m starting to realize something interesting. A lot of businesses don’t actually start with direct contracts…they begin as subcontractors first. That seems like a much easier entry point than going in directly. Curious has anyone here taken that route before?

Your LinkedIn headline is costing you supply chain interviews. If your headline is just your job title, you're invisible to recruiters and your resume never gets opened. Here's the frightening truth: Supply chain recruiters don't browse profiles randomly. They search by keywords roles, functions, industries, and expertise. If those keywords aren't in your headline, your profile doesn't show up. And if your profile doesn't show up, neither does your resume. The fright: You could be the perfect fit for that Operations Manager role, that Supply Chain Director position, that Procurement lead opening. But your headline buried you before they even had a chance to see your experience. Weak headlines (career killers): · "Supply Chain Manager at [Company]" · "Operations Professional" · "Logistics Coordinator" These tell recruiters nothing about what you actually do. So they scroll right past. Strong headlines (recruiter magnets): · "Supply Chain Manager | Procurement & Strategic Sourcing | Demand Planning | Reducing costs, improving efficiency" · "Operations Leader | Warehouse Optimization | Cross-Functional Team Management | 15+ years driving operational excellence" · "Logistics Manager | Transportation | Freight & Fleet Management | End-to-end supply chain solutions" The formula: [Job Title] | [Key Functional Areas] | [Value Proposition] Why this matters for your career: When a recruiter searches for "Supply Chain Manager Procurement," guess whose profile shows up? Not the person who just wrote "Supply Chain Manager." That opportunity just passed them by and it could pass you by too. Drop your current title, your key functional areas (procurement, logistics, planning, etc.), and what you're known for. I'll rewrite your headline so recruiters actually find you and open your resume.
