Thank you so much for all of this info. You did a wonderful job explaining logically with excellent visuals and screen sharing! I am so excited to try your methods. I do wonder what email and phone number you list for each carrier so that the sip at her is getting the email and calls instead of the carrier. Does the carrier have to grant you access to their email? Or do you use your own dispatch company email and phone? If so what happens when the carrier leaves you? How do you handle changing that info for all the brokers? Thanks again!!!

[@NeverStopTRK]

Thank you very much for the kind comment. I would use my phone number for dispatching contact and everything else should have carrier's number listed. If the OO leaves you, all you can do is tell the broker to change the number, but chances are that you might have another carrier looking for a load and if the broker calls you with a load offer, you can always find a different carrier for that load.🤫

Hi, Enis! Thank you so much for great work you are doing. My question is about drivers, maybe it will be useful for others too. Do you set up any agreements with your driver? May drivers refuse to work being employed by owner? I’ve just started dispatch internship in one of the USA-outsourced firms. All they do they are working with vans, taking drivers from the street and signing not contract but agreement. At the time I’m still not confident in dsptch, all that gets complicated with double-multiple-dispatching, overvalued rates, сonfusion and vacillation of drivers, and drivers refusing to work. I see solution in searching for big owner-operator employer owning its private machine-park. Am I on the right way?

[@NeverStopTRK]

It's really not that much more costly to upgrade to one million coverage. I don't see a problem with going with a "750k" guy other than that some brokers will not work with them.

My authority is 1 million but fmcsa only requires 750k so that is what is listed even though 1 have 1 million. When I send certificate of insurance to brokers they see I have 1 million.

You have mentioned during the first cold you can offer the load to the carrier if they were looking for a load, if they said or we manage to find a load, can we still book the load on behalf of the carrier without having any paperwork signed with the carrier?

[@elvisalayon3608]

hey Ennis. so I ike the idea of having a load for the carrier but does that mean I should already subscribe to DAT board ? also if I do give them a free load for the first Time and I dont get to hear them again should I continue this process until someone signs ?

[@NeverStopTRK]

Hi, that's really up to you. I heard of dispatchers offering a free week to O/O and after that the O/O just disappears. You can test the waters and see if you are getting any results like that. If not, just start charging right away. You should have a DAT account before you start looking for O/O because it might take a while before the account is set up and if the driver wants a load right away, you won't be able to book anything until your DAT account is active.

[@elvisalayon3608]

Hi. Yes, it's usually a dispatcher who would post a load but if this is a carrier that has only one truck, that means it's most likely the owner operator who is posting that load for himself. Also, I wouldn't shy away from companies who already have their own company dispatchers as sometimes they get busy or are short with help, and you could help them out by finding a load for one of their trucks.

They are the easiest to dispatch and to learn about. Find a domain name provider and check if a there is already a domain name reserved with .com extension for that company. You always want to make sure you can have a web address available with your company name in it. Also check your state's LLC register and see if the LLC name is available.
