This video was great and very informative for me. I will be working for my brother's company as a dispatcher and this was easy to digest information for me as a beginner. I subscribed to your channel and will be watching more of your videos! Thanks so much for your time and content, it's greatly appreciated.

[@roland2683]

I will do my best to spread your channel to those I know...again great video!

[@redelicious78]

Thank you Gil, this video will be shown to my dispatchers as a training tool. Very detailed and broken down. I'm a fleet owner and we dispatch our own trucks. I'm in the process of training my daughter and her friend to dispatch for us. I have training materials for reatding but videos work best and your video is spot on. I learned a few tricks myself. Thanks again.

[@Gill22]

Thank you Gemini! I can do a much better job explaining how to book loads on DAT but since I’m new to making videos, I missed out on a few steps or talked about a few relatively unimportant concepts for too long. I will definitely consider updating this video in the future when I know I can do better! Also, it’s so nice to hear your daughter and her friend getting into the business! Part of the reason why I started this channel is to get the younger generation, and people who are my age interested in the transportation industry! There are so many great opportunities here and I’m sure they’ll do great!

@@Gill22 When and if a broker calls you for a load, is that the moment you negotiate the pay if you feel it ain't worth the drive? cos sometimes what they are willing to pay is just low as heck for the distance.

Thank you so much for this video! I have about 10 years experience in intermodal dispatching and I'm looking to transition to dry van dispatching as it seems that there's way less stress. Thanks for all the info I will continue watching your vids.

[@Gill22]

Intermodal dispatching sounds interesting but I’ve never done it. How does that work and where do you usually dispatch from?

[@beardedonetech]

@@Gill22 I worked for a company called Evans Delivery. And intermodal is pretty much has to do with all the containers that come in from overseas. Our drivers would go to the rail yards and pick them up from there and make the delivery. Where it differentiates from Dry vans is that the driver is responsible for returning the empty container once the unload is finished. And every steamship line has a different return location, that can vary every day. It's just much more involved.. Which is why I want to get into dry van dispatching, looks much easier. No dealing with empty returns or nothing of that nature you know ? Just negotiating prices and making sure you're one step ahead of your driver's to keep them running.

[@angulofamily5805]

Hey bro, Great info! I have been thinking of doing this for some time. Your experience is quite convincing! I want to give it a TRY first but I have some questions. Im in So. Cal, I can rent a cargo van; It looks like I can set up an account on the load apps BUT will they require past experience, personal info and or specific requirements? I saw in other postings that there are stringent requirements because these companies wont just give their loads to just anyone. It looks like carriers must have certifications/licenses/permits exaggerated insurances, is that correct? Im assuming that the regular insurance coverage from the rental company will not suffice?

[@user-fg7cn6sn7w]

That was very helpful,thank you. I will definitely use your page. I have been a CDL holder for thirty six yrs, I'm changing up my game and doing Hotshot work .

Question regarding 24' versus 26' Peterbilt 337 (26GVWR)

[@redleader]

Gil, Thanks!!! Great info. i will have to save this and refer back to it a few times! Lots to digest. i have a question...I am trying to decide beteween getting a dry van and a conestoga setup. I have pulled vans and flatbeds. Im hoping to get access to more loads. Am I crazy? Do dispatchers know you can load a conestoga on a loading dock? What say ye? Thanks. (you should offer a pdf guide for purchase with all the video topics and notes, I would easily buy one)

[@Gill22]

Conestoga trailers are incredibly versatile, as you already know, but for many people it may just be overkill. Most trucking companies focus on specific industries and will ship specific types of load which will of course determine the equipment they buy. However, if you want versatility in the loads that you carry, then the conestoga setup may be for you. I surprisingly haven’t seen many people with that setup on the road and it’s something i’ve also been looking into!

[@redleader]

@@Gill22 I see a hundred a day out here on I-5 running N-S. Seems to be getting more popular. We haul lots of lumber that MUST be tarped. Fancy kiln-dried wood. So a conestoga is SWEET! But I want to have ACCESS to other types of loads for backhaul N-bound outta LA. Thanks for your reply.

[@Gill22]

@@redleader Ahhh i see. Just another tip... for dry van loads the inside of your trailer HAS to be clean and dry so if you’re planning on using a conestoga, I reckon you’ll have to spend some time cleaning up the debris left by lumber or other flatbed loads before you pickup a dry van load. I would still recommend it but just something to keep in mind!

[@usedspeedpartspart]

where will i get terms and conditions for dispatch broker

[@SarahA.Calvetti-qv2jb]

Was it DAT that has now made their load board directly accessible to dispatchers?

[@geniecats]

Which vehicle is the fastest way to get a load: A cargo van (Promaster cargo van), a Sprinter, or a box truck.

[@Gill22]

I don’t have much experience with either of those vehicles but just logically speaking, I believe the more space you have the better. So, in my opinion, box truck would be the way to go out of all those options since it could do everything a cargo van and Sprinter can do and more!

[@joedub668]

I've been looking at becoming a broker and taking classes. Just doing some research about the business. So very new to logistics in this area. Are brokers looking for Owner Operators with full equipment, example a dry van including obviosly a truck. Or are the boards for example that say Van or Flatbed providing the trailer for the truck and Bob tailing to pcik up?? Thank You

[@Michiganwatch]

With your time into this and experience is it worth going in to business for yourself? And if so which route should I take rental or lease to start out? Or buy a brand new truck which only lasts about 300 to 400,000 miles because of the deff system?

[@Gill22]

Most definitely get into this. I wouldn’t be in this business if there wasn’t a lot of potential in it! And I would recommend leasing over renting.

[@cartninja6479]

They last way longer than that and at 400k you can do a dpf delete

[@jflothe]

In your opinion is there consistent loads available for 26’ box trucks if you are willing to go where the freight is? Trying to decide if I should start out in trucking with my own box truck or go the cdl corporate driver route for a few years and then buy/lease me a semi. Thanks!

[@Gill22]

If I had to choose between the two, i would DEFINITELY pick the CDL to Owner Operator route all day.
