Friendly advice to fellow dispatchers, DO NOT BOOK LOADS WITH TQL a day in advance, they will 99% cancel the load on the day that your driver is supposed to pick it up, leaving you stranded and in need to look for a a new one. "Their customer canceled the load", but in reality they just found someone who would take it for less, hence they will earn more. Worst brokers ever.

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

YES! This is 100% true!

[@teamdada2194]

they are the worst of the worst. dont haul for them period. Their scum

[@MDLArt]

As someone who used to work for TQL, that is 100000000% not true. That is incredibly bad for business between a broker and a customer. If we can keep a carrier on a load, we will

[@bridgetbell6695]

I work for a factoring company and our carriers used to use TQL a lot. I noticed I don't see them as much anymore.

[@Larose1]

Thank you for the advice

[@rami5986]

It wasn't until I saw that you invoiced Phillip J. Fry, from Futurama,, that I decided to subscribe. Thank you for all that you do and all the info you provide. Your nerdiness and clear and detailed nature of talking and explaining things are greatly appreciated.

Your dispatching is quite different to mine. I work for a firm which deals primarily with national distribution, our cargo is quite mixed (pallets and packets) of multiple clients to multiple consignees. Our contracts are primarily express delivery (within 24 hours), but we dont do same day delivery. We deliver to businesses for the most part. We work with like 8 contractors, use 5-6 trucks and 7-9 delivery vans every day. Each day I dispatch from data we get from all our clients and partners, which consists of like 350-650 shipments to various locations in my country.

You've got this! The market will go up and down always. Just make sure you have a safety cushion because when just starting, your expenses will outweigh your income in the very beginning.

[@swaggking729]

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful how much would you recommend as a “cushion”? Thanks in advance!

[@bodmitri]

BTW, that 'factor' check mark is only if the broker is factoring through OTR, NOT factoring in general.

Hey thank you for all the work you do! Very helpful information all on your page. I have a question about the carrier package.

[@montse1318]

first of I want to thank you for your videos, you are very helpful. My question is, are you factoring? If so, what factory do you recommend?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

I factor some loads and I use RTS :)

[@acupofcoffee9082]

Futurama reference? instant like. (video also contains useful information, thank you!)

[@vishalgaurav1963]

Thank you for the content, all good information. I have a question,how do you suggest for someone starting in the business to get references?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

When you haul loads, make sure to keep the list of brokers, names and phone numbers as a reference. TQL cannot be used as a ref though

[@Pernection]

I plan to work for a broker and do the dispatching as a separate service.

[@Axiom_1983]

I just started (2 weeks almost) my dispatch company with a few friends. Since it's just the start, it becomes so annoying sometimes when calling carriers to ask them to work with us. I tried finding some best paying loads around $3/m and more but they didn't take it. Some drivers/carriers talk so rudely that it breaks my heart. Like hey bro, if you don't wanna work, at least be polite when refusing rather than abusing profanities. Can you please guide me what am i doing wrong when reaching them (carrier) out? I've tried most of the psychological techniques used to acquire a hot lead.

[@usmanfitness3616]

Which load board is major where all trucks can look loads for LTL and FTL? When this trucking industry is becoming good ?

[@mikerh2373]

Good video, im just a driver but, What about dividing miles by 50 mph for the fringing driver so he has time to make on time delivery. I was expected to drive 600ish miles after I already was 4 hrs into my 14hr clock. I'm a driver and I don't know alot about dispatching.

Invoice question: Does a dispatcher who is not an owner/operator/carrier list their dispatch business name under "carrier?"

[@chocolatebutterfly9295]

Thanks for this video. For the Rate Cons and Broker Agreements, does the dispatcher sign their name or their carrier’s name?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

If you have a power of attorney from the carrier, you will sign your carriers name.

[@lucky24713]

My wife is looking to get into freight dispatching, would you be able to recommend schooling to become certified? If that’s a thing? Just looking up info so I can help her get started

[@metamorphosisll7517]

Being a dispatcher is more than accepting loads, always remember.

[@dreamhelper8265]

What about a single axle day cab driver can you help them on dispatch

[@planchik]

very informative video! so do you own a fleet of your own trucks or can you be a dispatcher for others?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

I dispatch my own fleet at the moment :)

[@planchik]

@@TruckingMadeSuccessfulthat's great! can someone be a dispatcher for others? or would that be an employed position within a logistics company?

[@alexrainchyk6250]

I am wondering what are the working hours for a truck dispatcher. I suppose truck dispatchers have to make themselves available 24/7 in case there are emergencies like truck mechanical problems, various kinds of issues in the process of loading or unloading a truck, etc. I would appreciate if someone with experience could comment on that. Thanks for a very positive attitude throughout the video!

[@JaniqueWilliams-Winfield-om4un]

You set your own schedule and you take on only what you can handle. I recommend trying no more than 3 to start until your comfortable to handle the loads and load boards. I was blessed, I happen to have found some drivers that were looking for a dispatcher and I only dealt with those two, until I was comfortable enough to handle it. I also found that late night, early morning on Thursday I was able to get my driver's set up for the week ahead. Yes there's ups n downs to this business you have to find what works for you and build from there.

[@Alog425]

What are your thoughts on independent dispatchers calling shippers on behalf of their owner operators?

[@TheJenna34]

If you are an independent dispatcher, dispatching for carriers, does the broker pay you & the carrier separately? And when filling out the packet you showed in your video, does the carrier fill it out or do you fill it out on behalf of the carrier? Thanks!

[@mindoxy7452]

the same question

[@tayyebshabbirkareemi2619]

Most of the times you have to fill in the details on behalf of your carrier. Broker only pays the carrier.

[@juliantorres3533]

You know and shocked in a way how fast the pay CH ROBINSON with 5 hrs after I summited the invoice via email on my phone and convoy as well

[@DCBIGOSO]

I have a great question? As a brand new freight dispatcher, what is the best percentage rate I should charge the carrier?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Excellent question. I would charge 8% for dispatch, but if you are also providing some back office services- 10-12%

[@Rose-qt6lw]

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful I am enjoying your video very helpful and appreciated them. Do you go into deep about the back office services that can really help the carrier is the tms the only or the best way to go.
