Truck dispatching market dump by the poor countries
I need the community's help. Yesterday, I attended an open class on truck dispatching. They explained that beginner dispatchers usually start with one truck and earn 1% from each deal. Over time, the number of trucks increases to three or four, and the percentage only goes up after 3 to 6 months. When I mentioned that dispatchers in the American market typically earn a much higher percentage, and questioned why we should work for such a low rate, they responded by saying this is our competitive advantage. They claimed it's more profitable for truck drivers to pay us than to work with dispatchers who charge a higher percentage. That response made me uncomfortable. To me, a competitive advantage means offering higher value — something worth paying more for — not just being cheaper. What we’re doing feels more like market dumping. Am I right to think this way, or am I missing something? They also said that no matter how much you want to work at American rates, there will always be another country willing to undercut the market. For people in those countries, even low dispatcher earnings are still higher than local wages.
