Hey Dispatch University Dispatchers, Possibly, the most common thing I've been told by new dispatchers is that they don't have any experience. And, that they really want this. Our course covers everything we need to know to get started, up and running in a very short time. It is not uncommon to be making money in a matter of weeks. I want to do my part too. So, I thought of these terms that may help us all get more familiar with the dispatching and trucker lingo. Let me know if you like it. We're going to do it one alphabet at a time. This is the second one. The B's. I ask that you add any others that begin with B that you think are missing. B 1. Backhaul – The trip back to the point of origin after delivery. 2. Bear – Law Enforcement Officer, especially a State Trooper. 3. Bear Bait – A speeding four-wheeler that other vehicles use to protect themselves from speed traps. 4. Bear in the Bushes – Hidden law enforcement; potential speed trap. 5. Berth – Sleeping cabin used for resting on long-haul trips. Also called a sleeper. 6. Berth – Sleeping compartment behind the cab. 7. Bill of Lading – A legal document describing the freight and pickup/drop locations in a trailer or load. 8. Bill of Lading – Itemized list of goods contained in a shipment. 9. Bill of Lading (BOL or B/L) – An itemized list of what a shipment contains. 10. Bills – All paperwork accumulated during the course of hauling a load from A to B. 11. Billy Big Rigger – A driver who thinks a little too much of himself/herself or his/her big, fast, shiny truck. 12. Black Eye – A headlight is out. 13. Bobtail – A tractor-trailer with no trailer. 14. Bobtail – Tractor operating without a trailer. Also, a deadhead. 15. BOL – See Bill of Lading. 16. Bridge Formula – A bridge protection formula used by federal and state governments to regulate the amount of weight that can be put on each of a vehicle’s axles, and how far apart the axles must be. 17. Broker – A person with industry experience who negotiates shipping arrangements and rates for an owner-operator or fleet. 18. Broker (see also Agent) – Person who acts as an intermediator between a shipper/customer and a carrier. The broker will shave some of the revenue for their pay and often handle dispatch and everything related to the outside carrier to keep the experience consistent for the Shipper. Dr Dispatch has a Broker and a carrier module and can handle dual authority with ease. A broker with many agents will want office splitting and login security to hide their carriers and customers from others. Dr Dispatch can handle that too. Dr Dispatch was written by a Diesel tech turned dispatcher turned broker and agent. 19. Brokerage (dollar amount) – Base profit for a broker (gross pay [customer pays] – carrier pay). DRD staff might say “is the brokerage amount missing from the report”? In that case we mean brokerage to be profitable. Sometimes abbreviated to ‘Brok’. 20. B service – Preventative checkup for a truck or trailer WITH an oil change. 21. Bumper Sticker – A vehicle that is tailgating. Also called a hitchhiker. 22. Bunk – Sleeping compartment behind the cab.
