CentralDispatch and how to use it?

Payment depends. Someone's it's cod or cash on demand, and other typtimes it's quick pay.

 

1. How/when do I get a payment after I deliver a vehicle? Depends, some are COD, (Cash On Delivery), some COP, (Cash on Pickup), some are Quick Pay, (2-15 days) and some are 30 days or more.
2. How long does it usually take for you guys to agree on the price, sign the paperwork and get a confirmation for each car? Usually the price is set, you can try to talk them to a higher price but you usually have a better chance of winning the lottery twice.
3. Very basic question, but very important - when I call the broker, what do I say. Is it like "hi, I saw a listing on centraldispatch and I would like to take this car from you"? Then what? Do they quickly check your DOT/MC numbers, your insurance, company record and agree/do not agree to give you the vehicle? And if they agree, do they send a fax with confirmation for you to sign and that is basically it? You call, give them the ID number listed on the ad or where it picks up and delivers, some will look at your record and info, some want you to list them as a certificate holder on your insurance.

 

You have to call your insurance company with the broker/ transport company info and then they make an insurance certificate and send it over to the broker/ transport company, THEN they will book the load with you. Some require it, some don't.

 

It can be, but I'd say 90% of the brokers I call on CD don't ask for one.

 

Most don't ask for it, but for higher value loads with good brokers you will. The brokers working out of their kitchen with a cell phone, computer and fax machine, could care less.

I now keep a list of all the companies that require this, that way, when I renew my insurance, I just send the list to the insurance company to get those all knocked out right away.
