1. Always Use a Written Dispatch Agreement Before you start working with any carrier, sign a Dispatch Service Agreement that clearly includes: - Your service fee (e.g., 5–10% per load or weekly flat rate) - Payment schedule (after each load, weekly, or via invoice) - Payment method (Zelle, Wise, bank transfer, etc.) - Clause stating payment is due regardless of whether the carrier receives broker payment - Termination clause Without a written agreement, it is very hard to enforce payment. 2. Verify the Carrier Before Working Check the carrier to avoid scams or unreliable companies: - Ask for: MC number DOT number Certificate of Insurance (COI) W-9 form - - Confirm their authority is active - Check safety and activity history on FMCSA (to see if they are operating regularly) Carriers with inactive authority or very new MC numbers are higher risk. 3. Charge a Small Upfront Fee (Recommended for New Dispatchers) Many professional dispatchers request: - A setup fee ($50–$200), or - Payment after the first load is booked This helps filter serious carriers from those who may disappear. 4. Use Rate Confirmations as Proof of Work Always: - Keep copies of Rate Confirmations - Keep email or WhatsApp communication records - Maintain a load tracking sheet If a carrier refuses to pay, these documents prove you provided the service. 5. Invoice Immediately After Each Load Send a professional invoice including: - Load details - Rate confirmation reference - Your percentage or flat fee - Payment deadline (e.g., 3–7 days) Consistency reduces late payments. 6. Work With Carriers Who Have Factoring Companies Factoring companies handle payments from brokers. These carriers usually: - Run loads regularly - Have more stable cash flow - Are less likely to avoid dispatcher payments You can ask: “Are you working with a factoring company?” 7. Stop Dispatching If Payment Is Late If a carrier delays payment: - Politely remind once or twice - Do not book new loads until payment is cleared

Woke up with 3 trucks to Quarterback. - Atlanta Box, (my buddy who got fired from Amazon then called me Saturday), has to be home every night, so I had him scoop a $750 load to drop in Nash first thing tomorrow morn. Gotta get him loaded for the return trip. His 1+ Year Authority is like a jug of water in the desert. SO refreshing! Booking him is a breeze.. 🤗 - Illinois Box had drama and was late-plus he hadn't finished the setup for TQL (which is a Godsend for New Authorities) like I told him to-so everything got threw off and he had to deadhead back hundreds of miles to his pregnant, complaining girlfriend.🫣 I just sent him a text establishing my Non-Negotiables moving forward. (And I HONESTLY don't give a damn if he leaves.😎) See he started out talking real STRONG, like he was a runner, but I expose fake hustlers every Time-bc I am the Real Deal. - Mississippi Hotshot down in TX missed like 3 loads that I found, negotiated and booked bc of his wife's inefficiency. I repeatedly get 'overrides' on his Brand New Authority, so actually 10% ain't enough! Anyway, I powered on thru. After like 15-18 rejections and wife's fumbles, I got him a $2300 load going to Phoenix with 3 ATVs on the back. It was already after 5 pm aka Crunch Time. 💪🏿💪🏿 I also had the Presence of Mind to ask him for another video testimonial. I strike when the iron is hot--when they're the MOST Excited about My Dispatching. 😉 - Other Box is on hiatus until Thursday. 👉🏿 I am a Freight Architect! #IQuarterbackBigTrucks #CargoStarLogistics 🥂
