I just started watching you, my brother is a truck driver and is going for owner operator in a few months and asked me if I could dispatch for him I said said yes but I have no experience what so ever.

Hi! I’m not sure if you’ve already answered this question but how do you set up with a company your carrier has never delivered to before?

As a Dispatcher you are responsible for completing the Broker-Carrier Agreement on behalf of the Carrier for all NEW Broker's the Carrier is about to take a load for🍀

What's pretrip? You told the driver to start doing pretrip. Can you please explain? Also do you charge extra [or consider it an extra service] for filling out and setting up carriers with brokers? Thank you for all the info. You out here really helping. I appreciate you.

[@AyeYoBx]

Pre tip is an inspection of the truck that the driver is supposed to conduct before driving on the road… for example checking under the hood for optimal oil levels , leaks, checking your tires, making sure all your lights work etc.

[@ShamrockLGX]

@ayeyobox gave the perfect answer. It's essentially just the truck driver inspecting their truck before the first pick up🍀

[@ShamrockLGX]

@@AyeYoBx Thank you Clover🍀 You are right on the money!

[@Jovallys]

How do I know if a driver qualifies to be dispatched by me? Besided having an MC/DOT # and insurance... Should I check if there are any safety violations, accidents, criminal record, etc? Is that something that can jeopordize my business legally?
