    Hello! I need advice. My MC is almost 90 days old. I have accounts with Coyote, TQL, CH robinson.

    Where i can get full list of brokers with minimum authority age to be approved. So i could spend some time at home setting up accounts with brokers. More accounts will i have - less time will i sit without loads. Any help will be appreciated.

    P.S. It is hard to be a driver and dispatcher.

    There is no reason to setup accounts with broker you may not need in the future. Why would you setup with all brokers not knowing if you ever gonna haul for them at all. Just setup by the time you taking the load, it will take you extra 15 min maybe.

    Put a printer in your truck, fax or email over your phone. I did that for a few years. You work on the fly, 15 minutes as stated above.

    I will dispatch you for 5%. How do you set with those 3? They all got plenty of freight.

    Be Safe Out There

    A lot of brokerages won't sign you up until you have a load booked with them ready to go.

    Try signing up for a dispatch service, they will do the load search/booking, carrier setups, and other tedious paperwork tasks. Some guys can drive/dispatch themselves but with ELD's, you wanna be driving, not filling out a 15 page setup packet, just my $.02.
