1. Always Use a Written Dispatch Agreement Before you start working with any carrier, sign a Dispatch Service Agreement that clearly includes: - Your service fee (e.g., 5–10% per load or weekly flat rate) - Payment schedule (after each load, weekly, or via invoice) - Payment method (Zelle, Wise, bank transfer, etc.) - Clause stating payment is due regardless of whether the carrier receives broker payment - Termination clause Without a written agreement, it is very hard to enforce payment. 2. Verify the Carrier Before Working Check the carrier to avoid scams or unreliable companies: - Ask for: MC number DOT number Certificate of Insurance (COI) W-9 form - - Confirm their authority is active - Check safety and activity history on FMCSA (to see if they are operating regularly) Carriers with inactive authority or very new MC numbers are higher risk. 3. Charge a Small Upfront Fee (Recommended for New Dispatchers) Many professional dispatchers request: - A setup fee ($50–$200), or - Payment after the first load is booked This helps filter serious carriers from those who may disappear. 4. Use Rate Confirmations as Proof of Work Always: - Keep copies of Rate Confirmations - Keep email or WhatsApp communication records - Maintain a load tracking sheet If a carrier refuses to pay, these documents prove you provided the service. 5. Invoice Immediately After Each Load Send a professional invoice including: - Load details - Rate confirmation reference - Your percentage or flat fee - Payment deadline (e.g., 3–7 days) Consistency reduces late payments. 6. Work With Carriers Who Have Factoring Companies Factoring companies handle payments from brokers. These carriers usually: - Run loads regularly - Have more stable cash flow - Are less likely to avoid dispatcher payments You can ask: “Are you working with a factoring company?” 7. Stop Dispatching If Payment Is Late If a carrier delays payment: - Politely remind once or twice - Do not book new loads until payment is cleared

👋🏾 Hey guys! I hope everyone is well and on their way or already making the 💵 💵 💵 they want to have. Remember, everything that’s worth having takes time. I noticed some come in and don’t even review the videos. Some expect to make money as soon as the videos are completed. I want the best for everybody, but if you’re not willing to put in time and effort (which doesn’t appear to be as long as a college course) to learn the process and requirements, you’re not going to succeed. Stop rushing and educate yourself. There is enough money out here for everybody. Some of you have taken big steps already and have gotten started with your business - Congratulations to you! 🎊🍾🎈 Some of you just started - Welcome aboard! 🤗 Some of you are stuck - It’s okay, relax, try another method, ask for help…….WOOSAHHHH. 😌 Some of you have been busy lately. We miss you. 😕 And some of y’all haven’t been on in 20 days 🤔🧐 Don’t worry. I won’t say who lol. I hope you didn’t quit is all unless you decided this isn’t for you. I appreciate my followers. I welcome new connections. Where you guys from? How are you doing? What are you dealing with right now - life isn’t always about dispatching. I’m cheering for you either way. @Abdulrahman Abdo @Abdul-salam Mohammed @Abhayjit Singh @Abood Moh @Adrienne Platt @Ahmed Kardly @Aimee P @Andre Bush @Andrea Cooks @Avalyn Cleaver @Barry Lewis @Briana West @Charlotte Cox @Creshauna Brock @Dalia Rodriguez @Damien Hankins @Dinorah Cruz @Eddie Majors @Eliana Quintero @Ella Jordan @Georgia Santos @Gwendolyn Shaw @Hazeem Bey @Jarmeika Miller @Joseph Jade @Juanita Irvin @Lakisha Suruj @Len Davis @Marva Rateliff @Megan Bennett @Michele Elmore @Nagham ALhasan @Pam Warren @Pierre Charles @Presley Childress @Rizq Ibrahim @Stacy De Guzman @William Blevins @Willie Dunmore

Hi my name is Elaine. I live in Schaumburg, Illinois. and I plan on making $5,000-$10,000 per month dispatching trucks. I want to get these 3 things from this course/community: 1.  Gain knowledge and research and negotiate high paying loads. 2. Find carriers to develop a stable relationship without cold calling. 3. Build a reliable and successful business that will enable me to navigate and able to enjoy my life. For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1.  Exercising 2. playing slots 3.  spend time reading and watching movies

Happy Monday Everyone! How is everyone doing today? I'm planning on looking into getting leads and starting conversations with drivers this week. What goals are you working on?
