    Thank you for sharing what CRM/TMS you use. I just watched the tutorial on connect team. It’s definitely less expensive than 17 hats and some others I’m weighing in on. If you could elaborate on “your” benefits of connect team that would be great.
    Again thank you.

    How much dispatch equipment do I need if I drive my own box truck and self dispatch.
    I'm thinking a laptop, a phone, legal pads, maybe a portable printer.
    Of course, I will buy you course to get the knowledge I need.
    I'm considering buying both the Box truck course and both dispatch courses. : )

      Honestly, I would say yes, and only because some states take long to send you your Articles of Organization which is what you’ll need to open a business bank account, and that is essential. Some states give you an option to expedite it, but I’d rather be safe and get it.

    • @covenantdispatchllc7644
      @covenantdispatchllc7644  Před rokem +1

      You absolutely can, and I speak about that in another video, but let me give you an example where a scanner/fax will be useful. Sometimes certain brokers require a scanned copy of a BOL vs a photo. In that circumstance the driver would take the BOL, and scan it to you themselves (unless of course they live relatively close to you then they can bring it to you physically). This is just one example. You don’t necessarily need it but as you grow, your use of it will become more necessary.

    • @covenantdispatchllc7644
      @covenantdispatchllc7644  Před 2 lety +1

      Usually an independent freight dispatcher charges the carrier a percentage (per truck gross), or a flat rate fee (weekly) for their services.

    A LLC in California is $800, and not something I can afford at this time.
    I have an EIN for a craft business, but would I need a separate EIN for this business?
