Why would a private dispatcher list himself for fuel advance?

Remember at the end of the day it is your business on the line. So just ask him what happened and make clear what you want to happen in the future. Then I'd follow up with an email stating the same thing. In business, always have things in writing. That is one thing I've learned the hard way over the years. If he is not willing to cooperate with your needs, then move on. Hopefully it is just something simple and not a scam. Good luck

 

Working double shifts can run you down and meth can get expensive. Sometimes you might need access to disposable income!

 

I would be looking at past dealings with this private DISPATCHER just on the chance he did it before and it was not noticed .

 

Just another reason to stay away from private dispatchers.

 

I would ask your dispatcher. He is the only one who can answer your question. I see no good reason why a dispatcher should put themselves in that situation.

 

Problems a broke has or had with another driver are just that, problems with another driver. This is not milk and cookies time and the broker is not Poly Purebread.....
hands off the cash amigo or find you another truck.

Do any brokers advance fuel money before the truck is loaded and they have a copy of the BOL in hand? None that I know of. Kinda hard to run off with advanced cash when you've got a load on your truck.

 

You seem to have missed the fact that a dispatcher ( sits at a DESK ) had asked to be on the list for ADVANCES , not a driver , not the truck owner.
