Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.)
So all the business were in English, so I made all of them in English. But yeah, I spent two years as a transportation coordinator for a big company that had vessels and really big dispatch department. I did work on the intermodal side, not in the dispatch department, but I did have to get in touch with the vendors and truckers that were moving our merchandise or the customer's merchandise and schedule with them any move that I had for the next week or next month. So we can, and basically advising the people that made the bookings so everybody can be informed as possible with all the information regarding the delivery or pickup of the container.
With the dispatch software or tools, basically anything that you have that gives you information on the container, what it is, where it is, when is it gonna arrive in, or anything, it's a plus for you. You can use it for yourself or just to plan what's going to happen on the next 24 hours or in the next three or four hours. What I usually used to do, it's to plan everything on days that I know that the truckers are gonna be available to pick down from the rail. Usually you have to count the days that that lane usually takes from one point to another. Usually it could be three days or five days until the notification. So what I usually did is to plan the day that I had to send those containers so they can have the most available time, most free time available to pull the container from the rail and eventually making the delivery. Fortunately, all the trains, rails, and everything have a system that tells you where the container is and what's the ETA on the container or ETN, and you can play with that and know everything that is going on with the container and know... And also you can know if the container is stuck on any other terminal, something else.
One of the issues that I usually had on the delivery side and pickups and everything, of course, the thing about the equipment availability, especially the chassis, because there are some regions that do not have many 20-foot chassis available, so you have to be careful on those deliveries or schedulings that bookings that are made going somewhere that have a 20-footer as a main, especially if they are going on a train. If they're moving on a train, they need a mate. And if they don't have a mate, the container is going to be delayed. It could be delayed a couple weeks if you don't find a mate for it. You can retain the container at the rail until you get another 20-footer, or just let the rail know what's going on, and they're going to match it with another 20-footer from another client on the same flat card, so it can move on that lane as quick as possible.

As a transportation coordinator, I had three regions. Basically, I had the Memphis region for the intermodal site, Cincinnati too, and the Jersey, Jersey-Brooklyn site. Usually I had to go around these three regions, handling everything, and dispatching the most important things first. Usually it was the New Jersey site because most of those were imports, and they were just about to be, they were, they were about to be penalized if the merchandise didn't go out of the port anytime soon. So that was the priority to send to the vendors that covered the areas and pick up the containers as soon as possible and deliver them to the other warehouses or to the warehouse for the customer. While I was doing that, I had to manage all the exports on the New Jersey and Brooklyn side too, considering the time of the scheduling and everything. So I had to send it with some time between the the spotting date and the date that I received the bookings.
