We are owner/operators so we are carriers and also dispatch our drivers. Our driver just totaled a truck we are leasing. We are just devastated. We were already at $14,000 revenue just this month. We were getting really good at dispatching. We are just so upset. Mind you, this is the second driver we have had to get into an accident and essentially put us out of business. We’ve been in the business for 1.5 years at the point. Almost out of the hell period and pretty much not getting turned down because our MC is too young. And then this happens. Just seems like we cannot catch a break.

372 miles. $1,550. In a straight box. That’s over $4 a mile!🔥🔥🔥 Now the koldest part about it is that this was actually the SECOND back to back load for $1550. The shipper backed out on the first load. But here's the key - the broker liked and Respected me enough to call me back with the second load of $1550. It's a little longer than the first one, but it's still paying more than double the average of two bucks. MeanTime, guys out here fighting for $1.80/mile just to keep rolling. A Truck without $trong Dispatch is like a boxer with an empty corner. Representation matters. Negotiation matters. Relationships matter. #FreightArchitect #IQuarterbackBigTrucks✌🏿 #CargoStarLogistics🥂

To further commemorate My Graduation into Phase 2 -- 'Standards & Positioning' -- I wanted to design the kind of Business Card that people hate to throw away. 32 point premium stock. Raised lettering. Matte black. Gold trim. I definitely don't plan on randomly handing them out, but when I do, Presentation matters. Not only looks, but I want it to FEEL like money. I’m transitioning from “just moving freight” to Higher Standards across the board. Details matter. #FreightArchitect #IQuarterbackBigTrucks ✌🏿 #CargoStarLogistics 🥂

For those that have tried it, or are using it how has your experience been so far? Is it a separate $97 charge from dispatch university, or included in that $97? Thanks! Happy Sunday.
