[QUOTE="T One T, post: 11990993, member: 264284"]First, the side note: If a dispatcher has "locked in rates" you may want to check to see if he is double brokering. There is a very fine line between legal dispatch services and the Not Legal double brokering. A dispatcher can only find loads as a representative of your MC?DOT and the carrier is the one to hire said dispatcher. My opinion on a dispatch service right now in our industry: In short, it takes 10, 20, 30 calls sometimes and a constant eye on the load board to get acceptable rates right now. I don't think a dispatch service could provide that kind of time commitment for each of his clients. Its possible they may short change you on the rate search while trying to increase their load volume. For the record, I am a supporter if the independent dispatcher type service, only if their commitment is with the carriers well being as far as rates and expectations.[/QUOTE]
