Looking to become a Freight Dispatcher

Having the ability to lie your ### off over the phone, and not be found out.

 

So your try to find a way to screw another trucker ? Thats what most brokers and there “Mama’s” do. Enjoy your short time here. You’ll be shown the exit shortly.

 

You definitely want to broker hot shot loads, or maybe box truck. That’s where the big money is.

 

It's more important how many carriers / owner-operators use Freight Dispatchers than if using a freight dispatcher course will help you in trucking. It seems to be Freight Dispatcher is just a name-change to get around the requirments for a freight broker. The frieght rates are very very low right now. Having more people, broker and dispatcher and carrier/driver split the profit in the current environment is a recipe for bankruptcy. IMO, too many people think they will just be a random joe schmoe on the frieght boards and make money. From what I've heard 90% of the listed frieght on load boards are bogus. Their "bogosity" being 1 freight load described in 10+ different ways in 20 diferent locations, and for 20 different rates so that the broker can attract carriers who would avoid that load if the real details had been listed.

I'm old enough to remember when in the late 1980s TV was filled with dozens of "real estate investor courses". Why do you think Freight Dispatcher is a viable approach? Is it possible the people selling the course have more interest in pretending its common than the industry has in using freight dispatchers?

 

Throw a couple mil into a bunch of trucks and trailers and you can dispatch them all you want

 

It’s easier if you just show him the exit. This thread isn’t going to end well from my time being on here. Especially when he said even “Mama” can do it.

 

Good lord…….. here we go again. Another one looking for “easy money”

 

Another "doesn't know his ### from a mudflap" wants to tell drivers how to get a load from point A to B. Do us all a favor and stay at at your current job.
