This might be a weird question and I do not know if anyone would even know....My hubby drives a flatbed I dispatch the loads for his truck, plan his week, set up pick and drops and get directions if needed. I am wondering since I already do this for my hubby if there is a way to break into the dispatching industry and make a income off it. I am often on the truck so I thought it might be a great job I could do no matter where we might be. If anyone has any advice or can lead me in the right direction I am all ears thanks in advance!

Start by billing your husband for your services!

Just ask around for another owner if they would like you to look for work for them. Agree to a percentage and go.
Atlanta trucker and spindrift Thank this. -
Not at all. Dispatchers aren't brokers. Different thing.Atlanta trucker Thanks this.

Yeah with your own authority you hire them as a 1099 driver and charge 10% for Dispatch. It’s a lot easier than you think.

So.....I was a thinking of something along those lines but I was unsure who's authority they would need to be under etc

@Dave_in_AZ has a fleet of trucks he might point you into the right direction.

If i were to do it that way would that driver just sign up as a carrier for the shipper I get my loads through or would they just run loads under my carrier contract already established? See folks I got lots of questions! I was actually thinking of charging 5-7% as my hubby is a driver some brokers can take more than they should dispatcher is not the same as a broker. From what I have seen online it is all centered around becoming a broker and I am not really wanting that. Just want to add a little income to the house doing the work I already do.
