Same, been in the industry 28 years for companies and it’s not easy. Nobody gives dispatcher’s credit but they work hard & take a lot of crap off people. Also if we double booking you will not be working with me.
For the most part, a dispatcher's added- value is evident by performing a Carrier's administrative duties while a Carrier spends their 10 hour free time resting/ sleeping as the Hours of Service requires.
Dispatchers typically negotiate the best possible RPMs to ensure the revenue equates to cover the Carrier's CPM as well as the % that the dispatcher charges. Most often a dispatcher negotiates the most profitable loads based on the preferences/ factors that meet the Carrier's specified desires stated early on when agreement is signed.
Double booking occurs when the dispatcher works on behalf of negotiating loads as an "agent" and the Carrier chooses to micro manage the booking process. The dispatcher negotiates, however, the Carrier must review the Rate Confirmation, comments and all and agree to do the load by signing the Rate Confirmation. Once the Carrier signs and returns it to the dispatcher, the dispatcher forwards it to the broker, accordingly.
Thank you for speaking on this matter per independent dispatching. Dispatchers must have training to even learn how to read and manage loadboard, learn about the zones, and evaluating and negotiating spot market rates.
I be so tired of seeing these fake dispatchers in Facebook groups. This one lady put her drivers on me because she was stressed out all because she doesn’t know how to dispatch properly. Dispatching is easy. I just hate seeing new owner ops getting taken advantage of by an inexperienced dispatcher.
That is so true. Choosing the right dispatch services can be hard, and the wrong one could put you out of business. Some people end up self-dispatching because of this. Here is a video that will help people make the right decision on this matter ua-cam.com/video/oyxADCDAE4s/v-deo.html
We just activated our authority and plan on dispatch for others as phase II of our business plan. I can see where a conflict of interest may occur if the trucks are in the same 150 mile space but with a very strict understanding of a customer's range, load and other preference and rate requirements, this can easily be avoided and I believe it is of necessity to fully disclose to any customer that you also dispatch for your own company as well. With the great disparity of dispatch professionals I think that a busy, well paid O/O would be comfortable in that situation. But, as they say, your mileage may vary Be Well...that is until football season begins
In addition, an Independent Dispatcher has an obligation to find lucrative opportunities for each and every Carrier. There should be no conflict of interest bcuz each Carrier has specific needs, desires, preferences pertaining to Zones, specific qualifications, permits, commodities, and CPM requirements.
Hi James. Firstly I appreciate for your supporting us. I wonder that if I start a trucking business, should I need to get medical examiner's certificate? (I won't drive a truck. I'll hire drivers) thanks a lot 🙏🙏
hey thanks for the comment. You would only need a DOT physical if you intend to drive. It might be a good idea to get one in case you don't have a driver, though. Good luck
If a 3rd party dispatch negotiate a price for a load, it's not longer a dispatch only, it's a broker dispatch and it will require to have broker authority, almost all the dispatch agencies are working ILEGAL
Gabriel, thank you for your input, but let me push back a little. When you hire a dispatcher, you’re making them an “agent” of your company. they are no longer a 3rd party. they are not acting as a broker when negotiating freight for your company-they are acting as an agent. A broker is an agent for the shipper. completely different customer to which a duty is owed. have a great day
@@builtonboxes4374 l understand the agency part but they are not working under the carrier name, they're 3rd party because they works for diferents carrier negotiating in between, dispatch suppose to only deal with information dispatching not with negotiating prices for a profit, dispatch who negotiate they are the carrier broker side , you can see even on realtor, they are your agent but need a license for been in between, one of this days bet you the government will be chasing them,
ok then help me get educated. if your argument is that they are operating illegally, share with me the FMCSA regulation that guides your opinion. is it a brokerage regulation? I’m not educated on the regulation of brokerage, but I love learning. Tbh your comments are motivating me to go research it so I can know haha. thanks for your input
I dispatch but Im getting to the point where it's becoming difficult to dispatch SB. There arent a lot of loads, and sometimes drivers are way to picky about the loads. Also, OTR is necessary to keep your truck profitable.
Be yourself a dispatcher that’s what I have been doing and it’s working great

Great video. Is there a dispatching company you can recommend for box trucks?
I appreciate the way in which you articulate the subjects.
thank you

They can get their brokerage license and get legal if they want to
