Signed my first Carrier!
I got my first carrier! He found me on Instagram and we had the sales call today, he signed the contract and sent it back after the call. Our onboarding call is Wednesday and he has a 40ft Hotshot. I'm super excited that this is all coming together. Now I don't feel like I'm 'starting a business' like the business is up and running really quick and im just here for the ride lol. I've only been in the paid course for a month so I know I have a lot to learn. If anyone has any experience with Hotshots, or hotshots in the Texas area, I'd love to pick your brain :)

Just got My 2nd Carrier!
When I started Farr Better Freight Solutions, my goal was simple: build a small, reliable carrier network and operate with professionalism every single day. Today, we signed our second carrier—and I’m genuinely proud of that. Momentum looks like consistency. It looks like trust. It looks like execution.

@Mykel Farr That is fantastic to hear! Did you place any ads? Or did you find them through cold calling? Either way, you are well on your way to success!! Congratulations!!

LOADBOARD ACCESS
Can I get on DAT or Truckstop loadboards WITHOUT an MC or DoT number? Neither my nor my carriers' number? (I don't want to ask my carrier for their loadboard access because I don't want to look like a rookie...)

@Nick Avaness Thats a good question but I think you can turn it around as a positive and let the carrier know that you will be focused on them and you’ll use their MC # to gain access to DAT. Most carriers should know that an MC # is needed to gain access and as a dispatcher, you don’t have one. And never would…unless you wanted to start your own carrier business or become a broker…

What comes first?
Should you on board carriers first period or secure dedicated lanes with shippers first? If you on board carriers first you have to get dedicated lanes. If you secure dedicated lanes with shippers first, you have to on board carriers. What came first for you? What did you learn?

@Mykel Farr great questions! We have so much to learn, remember there are no dumb questions…. I always assumed the carrier would come first for the reasons stated, but again questions like this make us think. And that’s the importance of asking! Thanks for sharing!!

Interested in starting a new business that I can build with my son. I’ve been in technology sales for nearly 30 years. Time to build something for me.
