    Where do those dispatch companies get my number from? Is it from loadboard somehow? This is unbearable dozens of calls every day, „xyz dispatch, are you looking for a load?”

    I know that, Not possible that 20 people a day google it. They have to get it from somewhere else. I think one of my loadboards simply must be selling it.

    Must be the loadboards selling your information. I get a few random calls from people selling shop supplies but never a dispatch company. Our phone number is easily available with our dot#. I wish it weren't. We don't use any loadboards.

    I get them too. Plus all the calls/text/emails for insurance renewal. It’s annoying. I don’t answer and send to voicemail. Then it gets erased.

    Yea, it would be nice if cell phones had the another option along with Accept, Ignore. That being Ignore, No Voicemail. I.e. it hangs up without sending to voicemail.

    In my iPhone there’s a setting to have numbers that are not saved in your phone , to be silent .
    The call still comes in but it won’t ring or vibe unless the number is in your directory .
