Life as a Dispatcher: Inside Northern Logistics Worldwide with Danny Pulver | Behind the Wheelhouse

Danny Pulver, an LTL Dispatcher at Northern Logistics Worldwide, joins Behind the Wheelhouse to break down what dispatch really looks like behind the scenes — and why strong relationships between dispatchers, drivers, and customers are the backbone of successful operations.

With eight years at Northern Logistics, Danny walks through a typical day managing 40–60 LTL orders, coordinating drivers across Michigan and the Midwest, handling breakdowns, tight delivery windows, and the constant problem-solving that defines dispatch work. He explains the differences between LTL and truckload freight, why communication is everything, and how experienced drivers often make or break a delivery day.

The conversation also explores driver scorecards, accountability, safety technology, internal training programs, and what the future may hold for LTL freight amid automation and industry change. This episode offers valuable insight for drivers, dispatchers, carriers, and anyone curious about how freight really moves.

Topics covered include:

What LTL dispatch actually involves day to day
Managing driver relationships and customer expectations
Handling breakdowns, delays, and last-minute changes
Driver scorecards, accountability, and professionalism
Why experienced drivers matter more than ever
