Trying to Learn

I mean, you're certainly in the right internet forums. I'd encourage, instead of just... asking the questions that have probably been asked dozens, if not hundreds of times- that you use the search bar at the top. There's a *ton* of information available.

 

Visit the forum daily for about a year and read all the posts. Especially the owner operator forum and experienced trucker forum. If your still interested after that period of time then maybe it’s worth giving it a shot.

Most get bored and disappear after a week.

 

If you somehow are a Dispatcher in the future... you will be given a list of drivers. Say 40 of them.

Whoo hoo. Now what?

You will learn to know which of the 40 are the top dogs. Those are the ones you keep in a glass box and smash in case of existential emergency loads that must be on time no matter what.

You will have many average drivers on your list.

The ones that will make you experience heartache and tears are the bottom drivers. They need hand holding, mothering, ### kicking, told what to do step by tiny step, issued money all the day and so on. Taking you away from actual dispatching.

You will retire from dispatching when you get totally sick of asking 4 questions.

Where you at?

You empty?

Why not?

Why the hell not?
