How many drivers does a dispatcher dispatch?

"If a dispatcher could dispatch drivers, how many drivers would a dispatcher dispatch?"

 

Imagine my wife's shock if I was!!!

 

BTW, Capt Canuck... I see you're from Woodstock NB. Who ya running for? I'm originally from the Saint John/Sussex area. Living in Louisiana as the "token Canadian" now and lovin' every minute.

 

If a driver could dispatch dispatchers, how many dispatchers would a driver dispatch?

 

Oldie- I have a theory that you will never actually become a truck driver because it would interfere with your ability to start new threads!

 

####, a hijack on the first page. Impressive.

Most large carriers try to limit their DM's to 50 drivers per. That's a goal that's sometimes impossible to meet.

The company I'm currently driving for has around 100 drivers total between all our divisions. We have 2 dispatchers for all but about 20 drivers. Those 20 are dispatched by the owner of the company and take care of the largest customer we have, and I work in that department.

 

I suspect that you just might be the type of person that will get an even bigger kick out of being a truck driver. There are a few of us out here that really do love what we do. I hope you're one of us.
