Hello everyone. I’m new here. I love to learn all i can. I have a trucking business and have yet to do anything with my business. I’m lost. I just decided to take truck dispatching course to make money to get a tracker and get on the road. Any advice will be great.

Any has a truck business (LLC) and added truck dispatcher to business instead of getting separate a new business.

If you want to become a professional dispatcher (not just someone who books loads all day), your daily routine matters just as much as your skills. A pro dispatcher has structured time to communicate effectively and keep one step ahead of the freight market. Here's what one real day looks like: 🌅 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM: Prime Booking Hours That's when the best-paying loads drop. A pro dispatcher already knows: Which states are hot today? Where their drivers are What RPM they need to hit And which lanes to avoid Example: If your Reefer is finishing in Chicago at 9 AM, you already have 3–4 load options pulled before the driver even calls you. 📞 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Negotiation + Load Planning This is when dispatchers are: Calling brokers Rate negotiation Send carrier packets Lining up tomorrow's options Example: You book a Flatbed load delivering tomorrow morning, then immediately start scouting outbound freight from that delivery city. Pros are always one load ahead. 🍽 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Midday Check-Ins Quick updates with drivers: “How's the pickup?” “Any delays at the receiver?” “ETA still good?” You also update brokers to keep the relationships tight. Example: If your Dry Van driver is stuck at a warehouse, you message the broker early to set expectations this is where detention gets paid. 📊 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Paperwork & Market Awareness This block is for: Rate cons PODs Bills Researching today’s market moves Example: You notice rates are dropping in the Southeast this week, so you start routing your trucks toward stronger Midwest lanes. 🧭 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Tomorrow’s Strategy A professional dispatcher never starts the next day blind. This is where you: Create your lane diagram Look into hot zones Prep load concepts Confirm driver availability Example: You call your driver: “You'll drop in Oklahoma City at 10 AM tomorrow — I'll have a high-paying load ready before you empty out.” 🌙 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Final Updates Last minute calls, checks on late pickups, reviews of tomorrow's plan, and confirmation that all paperwork has been submitted.

hey im 16 and today i just gave out free loads to a guy. he told me that his DAT subscription has ended and if i can give him some loads so i gave him 3 loads. he was super thankful and gave me a good advice. this is like a win since im still in the learning phase!!!🥳
