    Friendly advice to fellow dispatchers, DO NOT BOOK LOADS WITH TQL a day in advance, they will 99% cancel the load on the day that your driver is supposed to pick it up, leaving you stranded and in need to look for a a new one. "Their customer canceled the load", but in reality they just found someone who would take it for less, hence they will earn more. Worst brokers ever.

      As someone who used to work for TQL, that is 100000000% not true. That is incredibly bad for business between a broker and a customer. If we can keep a carrier on a load, we will

It wasn't until I saw that you invoiced Phillip J. Fry, from Futurama,, that I decided to subscribe. Thank you for all that you do and all the info you provide. Your nerdiness and clear and detailed nature of talking and explaining things are greatly appreciated.

    Your dispatching is quite different to mine. I work for a firm which deals primarily with national distribution, our cargo is quite mixed (pallets and packets) of multiple clients to multiple consignees. Our contracts are primarily express delivery (within 24 hours), but we dont do same day delivery. We deliver to businesses for the most part. We work with like 8 contractors, use 5-6 trucks and 7-9 delivery vans every day. Each day I dispatch from data we get from all our clients and partners, which consists of like 350-650 shipments to various locations in my country.

    I just started (2 weeks almost) my dispatch company with a few friends.
    Since it's just the start, it becomes so annoying sometimes when calling carriers to ask them to work with us. I tried finding some best paying loads around $3/m and more but they didn't take it.
    Some drivers/carriers talk so rudely that it breaks my heart. Like hey bro, if you don't wanna work, at least be polite when refusing rather than abusing profanities.
    Can you please guide me what am i doing wrong when reaching them (carrier) out?
    I've tried most of the psychological techniques used to acquire a hot lead.

      You set your own schedule and you take on only what you can handle. I recommend trying no more than 3 to start until your comfortable to handle the loads and load boards. I was blessed, I happen to have found some drivers that were looking for a dispatcher and I only dealt with those two, until I was comfortable enough to handle it. I also found that late night, early morning on Thursday I was able to get my driver's set up for the week ahead. Yes there's ups n downs to this business you have to find what works for you and build from there.
