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

Hi my name is Stephane. I live in Denver Colorado and I plan on making $ 10K per month dispatching trucks. I want to get these 3 things from this course and this community: 1.  Gain the knowledge to book freight loads. 2.  Access valuable resources to confidently navigate the trucking and dispatching industry. 3. Develop the essential skills needed to succeed and grow. For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1.  I like to watch  2.  I like to read 3. I like to go out and discover new places. What’s your toxic trait as a dispatcher—overbooking, underpricing, or trusting brokers too fast?

where do I search up a LLC business name where do I look up for a none taken LLC business name at? Because I'm having problems with trying to search up LLC in Texas that taken and which ones I can use @Gurpreet Gill

Good evening, dear Administrators, My name is Luther-King. I had previously registered, but I hadn't yet taken a look at the course material. I am now truly ready to begin taking the courses, and I intend to do my utmost to get the most out of them. While I’m at it, I would like to commend you on the opportunity you are providing to this community; I am already delighted to be a part of it.
