About Tidewater Dispatch
A national transportation partner built on trust.
We exist to bring enterprise-grade dispatch discipline, communication, and accountability to every truck and every shipper we serve.
The Vision
Two decades on the road, in the yard, and on the phone with drivers.
Tidewater Dispatch wasn't built in a boardroom. It started in a truck cab, a dispatch office, and a thousand late-night phone calls solving the same problems for drivers and shippers — over and over again. After more than twenty years moving freight across the country, the vision became clear: the industry didn't need another broker, it needed a partner who actually picked up the phone.
Trucking runs in the blood here. This is a family built on three generations of truckers — from the open road to the dispatch desk, the lessons of hard work, integrity, and looking out for the driver have been passed down and refined with every load. That heritage isn't just backstory; it's the reason every decision is made with the driver's seat in mind.
That conviction is the engine behind every load we touch. Hands-on operations experience, an obsession with communication, and a refusal to treat drivers as numbers — those are the standards that shape how this company is run today.
The same hands that have steered an F-350 across long highways now steer a national dispatch operation across all 48 contiguous states. Same work ethic. Same respect for the people behind the wheel. Just a bigger stage.

The people who keep freight moving — from the dispatch desk to the driver's seat.
Jermaine Tucker
Freight Manager
Jermaine brings over 15 years of hands-on trucking and logistics experience to the dispatch desk. He started on the road, earned his CDL, and moved into fleet management knowing exactly what drivers face out there. Today he oversees daily operations, routes, and carrier relationships with a driver-first mindset.
Marcus Webb
Lead Dispatcher
Marcus is the calm voice drivers hear at 2 a.m. when a load needs rerouting. With a decade in freight operations, he specializes in tight-turnaround scheduling and keeps shippers updated in real time. He treats every load like it is his own.
Darnell Hicks
Driver Supervisor
Darnell runs safety checks, mentors new drivers, and makes sure every unit rolls out compliant and clean. A former long-haul driver himself, he knows the difference between a quick fix and the right fix — and he trains the team to choose the latter.
Carlos Mendez
Long-Haul Driver
Carlos has run every major corridor from I-10 to I-95 over the last twelve years. He prides himself on delivering ahead of schedule and knows the best routes around weather, construction, and weigh stations.
Javier Ruiz
Reefer Specialist
Javier handles the temperature-controlled loads that keep groceries and pharmaceuticals safe from dock to door. His attention to reefer settings and pre-trip inspections keeps sensitive freight in perfect condition.
Andre Williams
OTR Driver
Andre spends weeks on the road and still finds time to check in on rookie drivers back at the yard. His patience behind the wheel and over the radio makes him one of the most trusted mentors on the team.
Luis Ortiz
Dedicated Lane Driver
Luis runs the same Atlanta-to-Dallas lane five days a week, which means shippers get consistency and he knows every truck stop, weigh station, and backup route by heart.
Miguel Santos
Fleet Mechanic
Miguel keeps every unit rolling with preventative maintenance and quick roadside fixes. A former diesel tech for a major carrier, he can diagnose an engine knock by ear and keeps downtime to a minimum.
Tyler Johnson
Dry-Van Driver
Tyler joined the team after four years running his own authority. He brings an owner-operator mindset to every load, treating customer freight like his own investment.
Brandon Miller
Cross-Dock Specialist
Brandon manages cross-dock transfers and last-mile coordination, making sure freight moves seamlessly between long-haul and local delivery without sitting on the dock.
Roberto Garcia
Yard Coordinator
Roberto manages trailer swaps, pre-trip staging, and yard organization. When drivers roll in at odd hours, he is the first friendly face they see and the last one wishing them a safe run.
Keisha Monroe
Night Operations Coordinator
Keisha holds down the night shift, tracking loads, answering driver calls, and rerouting around weather and traffic while the rest of the world sleeps. Her calm under pressure keeps overnight deliveries on time.
Tasha Coleman
Compliance & Safety
Tasha keeps the paperwork tight and the audits clean. From DOT compliance to insurance certificates, she makes sure every load is legally bulletproof before it hits the road. Her attention to detail is the reason the fleet stays ahead of regulations.
Looking Ahead
Fleet expansion in Q3: more capacity, more lanes, more coverage.
We are scaling deliberately — not for growth's sake, but so we can serve more shippers and drivers without ever losing the personal accountability that built this company. In Q3, we are adding three dedicated fleet units, opening over 800 new lane miles, and growing overall capacity by 15%. Here is how that breaks down.
New Dedicated Fleet Units
Adding three refrigerated and dry-van units to our dedicated fleet, fully maintained and GPS-tracked so shippers get real-time visibility from pickup to delivery.
Increased Load Capacity
Expanding daily load volume by 15% across the Southeast and Midwest corridors, with priority booking available for existing partners during the ramp-up period.
New Dedicated Lanes
Opening consistent round-trip lanes spanning over 800 miles between Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, and the I-95 corridor — predictable schedules, fewer deadhead miles, better rates for drivers.
Broader Coverage
Extending last-mile and cross-dock services into secondary markets across Tennessee, Alabama, and the Carolinas, with same-day dispatch turnaround.
What this means for you
For Shippers
More available capacity during peak seasons, faster response times on spot quotes, and the same single point of contact you already trust.
For Carriers
Higher lane density means more backhauls, better rates, and less downtime. We are adding freight, not cutting margins.
For Drivers
New dedicated routes with home-weekly options, maintained equipment, and the 24/7 dispatch support this company was built on.
