    Anyone have an opinion on the best dispatch service for a 1 or 2 truck operation?

    Search the forum. Dispatch services are discussed a lot on here, and it is usually all bad.

    Don't understand the concept of hiring people to do every aspect of the business except driving. IFTA, IRP, compliance, dispatch service, broker, ect. And then complain that rates are too low.

    Why are you on load boards? ... By the end of the first year you should be established and brokers calling you.
