Personal dispatch services

Agree to a point, can't agree fully, you would put me out of business lol. But for example, the guy I work with, trusts me to run his truck, it makes it easier, I know what he likes to run, I get the best price for him, if there's any question, I call him.

When I started with him, he had three trucks, and a new driver to contend with, looking back, if he didn't have that, he would probably be dispatching himself, but he has other business interests as well, so this kind of arrangement works for him.

I can see your point of view as well, and you are right, the rules are not always rigid, but I should have said guidelines, the word escaped me last time lol

 

I understand you dispatch trucks and that is your business, heck I have even considered doing it myself, I just don't understand why it is so difficult for these guys with one truck to find loads. I don't envy the job. I was there once, Bill's wife looking for my loads and Bill too at times, and me turning down loads left and right lol... Bill's trucking experience itself is a plus but he still thinks differently than I do about loads. If I let him he'd dispatch me all over the lower 48 lol no telling when I'd go home, can;t have that lol....

 

LOL that is one thing that killed me, I had a driver I was working with once, wanted to hear every load, well ok, fine, but most brokers that's gonna be gone by the time I call back, so I go ahead and run every load by him, 5 out of 6 loads that he wanted were gone by the time I called back, one time, he rejected a load that I found, then found a load going to the same place, same weight, same times, for less money, I told the owner about that one and that was the last time he rejected a load from me lol.

As far as home time, the guy I work with now basically tells me whenever he wants to head home and we make it happen, other than that, he is happy to be out on the road for months...

 

Yeah but then look at the bright side. You'd be able to make the trip at 54 mph and save a ton of money on fuel.

 

Just like being in California all the time @ Rollin

 

Nothing wrong with California, good thing about the smog is that it stops the flying air particles....

 

Yeah, I'm right and you're wrong.

Compared to now when there is not telling when you may actually roll.

 

+1 point for Bill.

 

Hello Rickybobby,

I am looking to get back into the trucking business as an O/O, and was wondering you can suggest any dispatch service provider for me. Thank you very much.

 

Never.
