Japan earthquake exposed the dispatcher stack. The New York Times reported a 6.9 quake hit Japan, and dispatchers are the people deciding which trains, trucks, and crews move first when seconds matter. That same triage logic is already being automated in logistics and support ops, which is why this job is less about “knowing the network” and more about beating the machine. The real question is whether your role still owns decisions, or just watches a dashboard make them. Pick a side in the comments: dispatcher, or dashboard worshipper?
