worked with few guys who made that jump and it's pretty solid transition. my cousin went from 25 years on road to dispatch at smaller logistics company and he loves having the regular schedule now. the problem-solving skills transfer really well since you already know what drivers deal with in the field. plus all that route knowledge and understanding of regulations makes you way more effective than someone coming in cold. he started bit lower salary than what he was making with good miles, but after couple years and some overtime during busy seasons he's doing better financially. only downside he mentions is sometimes feeling bit disconnected from actually being out there, but the home time every night makes it worth it for him and his family.
