Do dispatchers make good money?

Hi jason, enjoy it now, as sure as heck, he will retire, and chances are, you'll get some no nothing no it all, that couldn't care less about you. I know, it's happened to me, a couple of times. Dispatching is a good job for a retired trucker, that can't spin the miles anymore, but still wants to be involved with trucking. Sadly, as the years pass, these individuals are becoming less and less available, like me, for example, I would probably make an excellent dispatcher, and have been offered a couple of jobs doing that, but with all the new regulations and cry babies out there, I'd flip burgers before I did a dispatching job today.

 

Semi retired, I hear ya and yeah i'm lovin it right now, but all good things must end, and i #### sure wouldn't make a good dispather i hear the company drivers at the company i'm leased to ##### al the time that they have to work hard when there averaging 2800 mi a week?. are you kidding me?. that's only 4 days of driving

 

Hi Mack, still using 96" wagons? Good grief! If I remember, even on a 102 with pallets turned and no forklift, required unloading the 1 pallet onto another pallet, so you could get a pallet jack sideways to get the other pallet out. On 96" chimney blocked, I'd pull the straight in pallet out( of course) and hook 1 side of the pallet jack under the turned pallet, and pull (with all my might) the turned pallet out enough to drop it and pick it up regular. Oh, that makes my back hurt just thinking about that again.
