@Carla Mitchell Your welcome but don’t over complicate it.lol I understand what your saying, yes you can use one MC# that just tells them who has access “that carrier.” IF he/she leaves you then you could ask whomever your next driver is or would be. The purpose of the “access” from any of them is so that you can gain access to that DAT load board. Hence why you would want to ask any of the carriers you sign on with you to dispatch them. That way you’d always have access to that particular load board IF they have it, IF they don’t then you could “with their permission” sign them up for DAT load board so that they and you have access to their loads without it the need truly decreases in terms of access to those loads. This is why ultimately you’ll want to get “your own” access by getting your own MC# but it can be way more expensive than you’d want to deal with starting out hence why your asking carriers to use their MC#’s. Make sense?

@Carla Mitchell Confirm but verify I completely understand.

@Carla Mitchell thanks not yet but it’s only a matter of time at this point.

@Carla Mitchell Sorry I didn’t fully answer your question I’m still a driver at this time learning the professional side of dispatching. But I’ve been on the other side of it as well when I was dispatched all be it by a company dispatcher but it was dispatching none the less and this is what those orders look like that we all will be doing to the drivers or carriers.
