Personal dispatch services

I had a guy offer me his services as a personal dispatcher for owner operators that will find freight for me to haul and keep me busy. He would book loads through brokers and take care of the invoiceing on my behalf. He says he can guarantee me running at $2 a mile on every load. He says he charges 10% commission on the gross he generates for the week. $100 for every $1000. He said he'll give me a week free trial.


Would anybody try this service?

 

Ok I called the guy and here's what I got. I'm thinking about giving it a shot.

He does all the calling,searching and booking of the loads through brokers under my authority. All I do is provide the tractor and trailer and drive.

He showed me two weeks worth of work he has gathered for his clients. He generated $2900 and $3000. He drove 1200 miles week 1 and 900 miles week 2. He lives in NJ and was home daily. He said he would write up a guarantee.


He arranges pickup today and deliver tommorow in the northeast. I see it being possible. It takse a lot of work to make it happen but it has to be done during the hours that I need to be driving. As you know driving and calling 50 brokers per day to compare the work does not mix.


He even has references.

 

It's 250 to 350 mile loads. Example would be pick up today in Boston,MA going to Baltimore,MD for delivery tommorow. Pickup in Baltimore or surrounding within 50 miles going back to Boston,MA or surrounding.I live in NJ so I would stop home and make the deliveries in the AM. It kind of sounds to good to be true but, I've done a little reserarch and may be going for it.
