@Gurpreet Gill I hate to ask and feel stupid what’s a MC number 😩
I thought this was worth sharing
I found this post from Barry Lewis who I think joined the community on Joined Apr 8, 2026. This is a repost. Are you still ready to be a professional dispatcher and start this job? 🕒 The Daily Schedule of a Pro Dispatcher (What It Really Looks Like)⬇️ If you want to become a professional dispatcher (not just someone who books loads all day), your daily routine matters just as much as your skills. A pro dispatcher has structured time to communicate effectively and keep one step ahead of the freight market. Here's what one real day looks like: 🌅 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM: Prime Booking Hours That's when the best-paying loads drop. A pro dispatcher already knows: Which states are hot today? Where their drivers are What RPM they need to hit And which lanes to avoid Example: If your Reefer is finishing in Chicago at 9 AM, you already have 3–4 load options pulled before the driver even calls you. 📞 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Negotiation + Load Planning This is when dispatchers are: Calling brokers Rate negotiation Send carrier packets Lining up tomorrow's options Example: You book a Flatbed load delivering tomorrow morning, then immediately start scouting outbound freight from that delivery city. Pros are always one load ahead. 🍽 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Midday Check-Ins Quick updates with drivers: “How's the pickup?” “Any delays at the receiver?” “ETA still good?” You also update brokers to keep the relationships tight. Example: If your Dry Van driver is stuck at a warehouse, you message the broker early to set expectations this is where detention gets paid. 📊 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Paperwork & Market Awareness This block is for: Rate cons PODs Bills Researching today’s market moves Example: You notice rates are dropping in the Southeast this week, so you start routing your trucks toward stronger Midwest lanes. 🧭 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Tomorrow’s Strategy A professional dispatcher never starts the next day blind. This is where you: Create your lane diagram Look into hot zones Prep load concepts

Oh wow this definitely was a great repost giving us a realistic dispatcher day. Thank you so much, this was truly amazing. I’m interested to know how you’re doing in your dispatch journey @Caroline Reaves-Jackson how long have you been in the field?
Paperwork
Still just unsure about this paperwork

I agree with Caroline each one helps one. What is the paperwork that has you unsure. I’m sure when I really get more in I’m going to run into the same issue. That was one of my biggest things wanting to make sure I understand the paper work. Is it the terms they use?
Happy to be here

Hey Julia I’m new too and I became interested in dispatching when my husband became a truck driver. We can’t wait to start our own business either but I’m sooo nervous. It’s soo much information to retain. What do you do to help you get more familiar with this field ?
New to the group
Hi my name is _Jasmine you can call me Jas_. I live in St. Louis MO and starting off I’ll be happy to make $_5,000 per month dispatching trucks. I want to get these 3 things from this course/community: 1.  Learn and understand the dispatching terms 2.  Learn how to book loads and negotiate with brokers 3. Understanding the paper work 4. How to calculate whether a load is actually profitable 5. And overall knowing what dispatchers can and can’t do For fun I like to do these 3 things 1.  I love being with my husband and daughter, family time is everything 2.  Watching movies 3.  Shopping lol very therapeutic 4. Hanging out with my friends my girls we be lit lol
