Truck Dispatching Basics: Dispatching 101

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

Hi thanks for the video. Do you know how other load finder apps like TruckSmarter, truckloads, Uber freight compare to DAT?

tell me please what kind of insurance do i need for this job?

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.

Thank you! Does the DAT you illustrated in your video work for Hotshot loads or should I use another package?

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

Good job, thanks a lot!

What a beautiful lady …

Hey thank you for all the work you do! Very helpful information all on your page. I have a question about the carrier package. If I’m looking to just start a dispatching service business, will I need to fill out separate packets for each driver using their MC and DOT # for every owner/operator I dispatch for? Thank you again for your help

if im from lithuania possible work ?

and again...

Which quickbooks are you referring to?

Hello Thanks For all the great information, Im just a bit confused on one part if im only a dispatcher I need insurance ?

Why does a dispatcher need to sign the rate conf?

can i have your number?

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.

Can I use an iPad Pro?

I love how u articulate the role of being a dispatcher. Vital info. Not boring at all

@EVERYONE DISPATCH 101? 😂( things you NEED to know prior to all she mentioned in this video)....if you are wanting to be a dispatcher and making it your own business, theres a few more steps you need to do.

BEFORE jumping onto any load boards. You have to have a registered business and a company like ink file to assist you with your process for one year. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT go into this without doing the above important steps first. Also for those who have and are ready, theres an app to check brokers credibility....bad grades on brokers can affect your pay. I recommend working with a third party company first so you can get the contracts documents and some type of rapport with these brokers. This business can be hectic or it can be less hectic if tou know what your getting into before hand. I commend the person who did this video but some information is highly recommended.

and I want to work as a dispatcher virtual assistant and this really help me

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

Greetings dear. I am a housewife and in a dire need of online work if you have extra work can you please assign me some work to do. Its a humble request

Print out packet with signature are more likely requested with flatbed trailers but it rarely happens.

On it

Hello, May I have your training. Thank you.

The best video I've seen on dispatching. I will purchase the course.

Very helpful content for a beginner like me. Thank you.

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!

Thanks for information 😍

i’m new to freight dispatching, staring my own company. i would have to find my own driver or how does that work ?

Hello. If I am being a Dispatcher, should I still fill in the Carrier information? and Who would the carrier be? Thank you!

Great 🎉

why are you invoicing the broker? I thought you were invoicing the carrier?
How many customers do you need to make a living?

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

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

This video makes me want to become a dispatcher more than I originally thought; thanks for this!

I stumbled across your videos studying to get my CDLP. I usually don't comment but seeing how much effort and information you put into each one kept me coming back to learn more. 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.

Amazing video

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

i m from Pakistan and also working with dispatch , your vedio is so informative .

I'm thinking about taking your course. Is your course pretty detail? Sorry for the dumb question.

I feel like I'm going to understand but a little bit lost as a dispatcher.

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?

you dont need insurance. the carrier has insurance

I was impressed with how thorough you were and I am interested in your dispatching course. Could I inquire of the course more before I pay for it?

Is there any live help available after completion of your online course?
