Information on a dispatch company

What are you looking to do that you are looking at dispatching services? This seems very low for what a good dispatcher would need to do. The hours it takes to dispatch a singel truck that person would be making minimum wage it they are on the up and up.

 

I am SURE they are dispatching MORE than one truck, therefore $500 a month multiplied by multiple trucks equals an income.

 

I'm talking about the time it takes to PER TRUCK to do what they are offering. 10 hrs per week, minimum.

I'm a percentage pay carrier and we are looking at 5-6 trucks per office person. And we get economies of scale in not having to fill out packets for every driver with just a single broker.

I think there is value in a dispatch service for an independent O/O. But you have to be real about the amount of work that goes into find a good rate, contracts, load confirmations, invoicing, collections, etc.

 

This is interesting, I think if I were actually considering this I would ask for some phone numbers of there other clients.( for what its worth) I would think by talking to them you would be able to tell if they were sincere o/o. Just a thought

 

That is high. We give 89% to truck under our authority with weekly pay. 10% plus to just run under authority is a great deal for a carrier.

 

89% and paid weekly is incredible! Hope your O/O's realize the deal they have with you. I am assuming you are two weeks behind in paying them.

 

Loads in by Friday pay the following Friday. If they cover own fuel and willing to wait to be paid when we get paid then our is 92%. So 3% for factoring and fuel advance.
