Freight Broker Salary

Hello!


I am questioning how much dispatchers are paid. As a freight broker "dispatcher", I want to know how others are paid. I am in a different situation from most agents, where I do not receive a commission but rather a salary.. I would like to know if there are others like me or if there are agents out there receiving commissions from accounts that are not their own. For example, if you work on a single or multiple accounts that you did not secure for the company.


An example for my daily work day to see if it matches would be like this:

Quote, track shipments, talk to customers to secure freight and approve additional charges like layover or detention, and of course secure a truck through a list of my carriers or a load board.

 

We have a number of customers that we work with, but there generally is no cold calling. i guess what i should be asking is what a fair wage would be for doing this. we work with existing customers to quote, cover, track and report to but we do not in this role activly search for new customers to then work ourselves or have someone else work. As group or individually, we are responsible for the customers freight we book, and we mainly work on an account individually.
