Hey Angela, This platform is just for learning dispatching. It's not connected to Spotify at all. If you're getting DMs about random "opportunities," those people aren't part of our team or officially tied to this group. We always ask members to report any spam or weird messages so we can handle it, but we can't see your DMs unless you tell us. Next time, just shoot me or one of the admins a quick DM. It's easier and faster to sort stuff like this out that way instead of posting it in the main feed. Appreciate you bringing it up. Please DM me the name and a screenshot of the messages so I can block them from the group.

@Waleed Shafiq Hey Waleed, you should be good to go now! :)

Hi Amanda, great question! Yes, you do need an MC number to sign up for the DAT board. However, as a dispatcher, you’re not required to have your own MC number. You can use your carrier’s MC number to sign up for the load board instead. We can definitely go over this in more detail on our call tomorrow!

Hey Aleksandar, great list! Just wanted to clarify—when Rajat mentioned $500, he was talking about a rough estimate of monthly costs, while most of what you listed are annual or one-time expenses. Things like a Freight Broker License, registered agent, or insurance aren’t necessary to start dispatching. For beginners, monthly costs like load boards ($100–$200), phone service ($50–$100), and optional dispatch software ($0–$100) usually stay under $500. As for an EIN and operating agreement, they’re free (though the operating agreement is only required for LLCs in some states). Hope that clears things up!

Hi James! The schedule was fully booked earlier, since you can only book calls up to 3 days in advance. There should be some slots available if you check now!
