Truck Dispatching Basics: Dispatching 101 

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.

Thanks a lot for this invoice info, besides you put great info for owner operator that are starting dispatching themselves you have a great charisma and attitude. Thanks again.God bless you

Your videos are super helpful and your method of telling is amazing much appreciated.

I never have to ask you any questions on your videos,because you nail it every time. You are beautiful inside & out ! Thank You......

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

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.

very clear and simple. appreciate your time and effort. great info in simple and orderly fashion.

Great information I needed this. It was very detailed. Thank you for the video. Keep up the great work!!!

Goodmorning this is my first video i watched dispatching. Very informational looking to start my company up this week.

Thank you so much for this video. This was one of the best videos. Very easy to follow and understand. Clear steps , great follow on being able to follow along. Helping my son start his owner operator trucking company in which I will be doing dispatching. So this was very very helpful. Thank you

MIND BLOWN 🤯 THANK YOU 😊 Subscribed

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

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

This was such an upfront, helpful video. Thank you for all of the great information.

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

Great job keep it up we will support you ❤

Thanks for your providing so much useful information

Great videos, thank you for your help!

I just started a cargo van business this was super helpful. 👍

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.

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

Thank you for this helpful information

Super helpful. Thank you!

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

Your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much! I have been driving for 24 years and now of all times decided to get my own authority and truck. I will be pulling a flat bed. A little nervous with todays markets though.

Very helpful video thanks!

Great Video . Thank you much! Amazing

I love this channel :)

Informative. Thank you!

Thank you for all this information im very very New to this, but i really want to and need to learn! My brothers and i have wanted to start this trucking business. My brother does drive and have their own truck. They want me to drive as well, but honestly i rather be their dispatcher! I’m more of a computer tech savvi! So im doing my best to learn and get started!

Lol dispatching dispatching dispatching that’s funny but you’re right sometimes you can’t understand why some people don’t get it

Great teachings !!!

As a professional dispatch company we use Total Dispatcher / Turbo Dispatcher TMS for our entire business. Hard working from spreadsheets when you have 50+ carriers

Thanks for information 😍

great information Thank you

Very informative.. also want to know which software is good to manage all loads.. please..

You are too smart.

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?

Thank you 🙏

Thank you.

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.

Excellent

that s awesome appreciate you

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

Hello Young lady, sorry I missed your name in your video, I really appreciate this very much. I must have missed it, but which video do you discuss how to find Drivers for loads you want to book? Thanks again 🙂

Hello, thank you very much for all the valuable information. So, a question for you, please. Is it possible for me to work in this field when I am not in America? 🌹

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

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

I love you. That is all.

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

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

Tahnk you💌

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

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?

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.

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!

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?

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

LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!

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

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

Great 🎉

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

Love

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

Did you have dispatching course or did you have any course suggestions?

Madam i want to loads of vans please tell me best load page

How do I find contact info to haul for your family business ! I have 28 years experience - I pull loads for TQL for a long time and there practice has not change to cancal your load just before you pick load , spend your time and fuel to pick up load tql don’t care ! You will not get paid for your lost time or fuel!!!

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!

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

❤️I love you❤️

Where will I find contract examples to use in my journey/

Do all our most carriers have cargo ins?

Looks like you are good you know how to take care of your drivers I don't have a dispatch I do my loads myself idea came out maybe we start work couple of weeks together what do you think ?Arthur

Hello, what kind of company you used for ELD?

How about drayage dispatching? Is it the same?

With the app do you get the 15day market rate?

😍😍😍

If I'm dispatching is it necessary to fill out the other info

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

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

If and when things improve,will brokers care if I'm making money?Will brokers care if shippers bought own truck and hired driver?

Is it possible to work a full time job and dispatch at the same time

I have a question what about late loads and dispatching a late load to trucks is that legal?

Great where can find the dispatch course? Do it has the Back Office service training included.

What to do if invoice is over due

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

Hi! Where do I find your course?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Super! Thank you so much! Is it possible to take a look on your dispatch course? What's the price?

Hello, does your course show you how you use quickbooks for invoicing?
