Hey there community!! I'm going over the lists in the basics training video and I came across this information when I was looking up requirements online. do we as dispatchers need to ask the carrier of a box truck if they have an ELD (electronic logging device).on their truck as part of the broker packet? Thanks in advance

Hello there! I would like to share a list of some documents we use on a daily basis in this business, i i am missing any, please let me know. As dispatchers, we should ask our carriers a copy of: MC Authority, W9, COI, NOA, CDL, void checks, pictures of their trucks, plates, trailers. To book loads, the brokers will send you: Set up: they will send you a link to Highway or RMIS, or they can sen you a pdf to fill in, and they will ask you to send them all the documents i me tío es previously along with the carrier agreement / packet completed. Rate confirmation: you will have to sign this contract to accesorio the loads, but you need to read it carefully, brokers are human and they can make mistakes, and if that is the case you need to inform them for them to send you a corrected RC. If you can think of another documents, please let me know, i would apareciste your feedback! Thank you!
