Dispatch Timing Guide
Why dispatchers need a USA time zone map
Brokers and facilities give pickup and delivery appointments in local time. When a truck crosses regions, the time shown on a rate confirmation may not match the driver's current clock.
Pickup and delivery can also sit in different time zones. Comparing both appointments before booking helps the dispatcher check transit timing, broker calling hours, and potential scheduling confusion.
Remote dispatch teams have another conversion to manage. A dispatch time zone map keeps US local time and dispatcher time visible together, reducing avoidable back-and-forth before the truck moves.
