Australia’s freight dispatcher: ‘We’ve never had a shortage of workers’

A freight dispatcher in South Australia has said it’s the first time the industry has had a major supply problem.

Key points:Cape York City’s Freight Dispenser Group says it has a shortage and is hiring on a temporary basisMore than 4,000 jobs have been lost in the past three yearsFreight dispatching is a key job in Australia’s economy and a major contributor to its GDP.

But in the last two years the industry also experienced a major downturn as trucking companies went into administration.

In the latest downturn, freight dispatching was forced to shift to a new technology to meet demand.

Capey’s Freights says it is recruiting on a permanent basis, as the industry struggles to find enough drivers.

Freight dispatcher Craig Mascarenhas been working in the industry for seven years.

“This is a very stressful job to be a part of, I’m quite lucky to be able to do it,” he said.

“We have a very limited supply of truck drivers.”

There is a huge shortage of truckers in Australia.

“It’s an incredibly important job and a very lucrative job for people who have a job in the trade.”

The company said it was hiring on temporary and a handful of other positions were being advertised.

“I think the biggest challenge for us is that we have to look at the whole industry, and the freight sector as a whole, and what we need to do to get back on track,” Mr Mascareson Friday.

“At the moment there are a lot of trucks that we’re not even seeing in the road, but I would say that’s probably going to change over the next few months.”

Freight Dispatch is Australia’s largest freight dispatch company and a key employer in South Australian and regional areas.

The company says it’s losing hundreds of jobs and the economy is in recession.
