I'm a dispatcher looking for O/O's to give me advice on dispatching

Do u support double brokering ? @jubul earlytime

 

Bout as much as I do Xbox playing. But it’s not double brokering. Are they useful? Well that’s a different question.

 

because the dispatcher works for you and is billed as a service to you without handling the money between you and the consignee

A broker handles the load from the consignee to you, pays you directly.

 

But I'll make it up to you on the next one buddy.

 

Of course he will. Or maybe the time after that.

 

I used to love that line when they're trying to get you to go to a dead zone and claim to have hauls out of there all the time. I counter with, okay, well, add what you pay for the return load, and I promise you, I will do the next one for free.

Never been taken up on my offer. It's why I only deliver to Toronto and haven't been to Montreal in over a decade.

 

Personally one of the reason I went independent with my own authority was not to have a dispatcher. I was thinking about it and I just don’t understand how in the world would I just want one to handle the easiest part of the business while I do the dirty work. It’s illogical to me.

Back when I had worked as a company driver the best dispatchers were the ones that had a load for me before I was unloaded and had it scheduled perfectly. That’s all I cared about back than, now there’s too many things I take into consideration when booking loads, I can’t even think how I would convey it to someone else so they would make a good decision for me.

But I think just listen to what your customers want, since you have them already.

 

I’ll bet a dispatch service that we don’t see @Gato Dispatch again.

 

You know what a diaper and a dispatcher have in common right?

Always on your rear, and normally full of sheet.

 

Where did Gato Dispatch go? She was very evasive.....
