32 years in trucking and it’s hard to find honest dispatcher like you. Stay honest brother!

You have single handedly made me want to be a truck dispatcher. I was in a very dark place coming into the year, not knowing what my life was going to be ( mid 20"S) . I watched all 41 minutes and you explained everything so throughly. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. Because you may have gave me the spark i needed to keep going.

That's great! My husband is a Owner Operator and prefers the 1 pick 1 drop as well per day. I am his dispatcher and it's always great to learn from people who have been in the industry longer. Thanks for the video.

A tip for dispatchers when dealing with brokers is to get the brokers name/number and call them back after discussing details with the driver. Especially when you as a dispatcher is making the call about a load. There’s nothing worse than someone calling about your load, explaining the details to you, and them putting you on hold for 5- 7 minutes just to either hang up on you or to say sorry the driver doesn’t want it (Click). Out of respect just grab the name and number and say hey bud give me 5 minutes I’ll hit you back ASAP. That way you’re not wasting someone’s time and that way you also have time to be thorough as to not rush the call because you’ve got someone on hold.

I miss being a broker and I was only an intern. I loved creating mutual trust and relationships with dispatchers all over the country. It made the job very easy.

As a broker that does 80-100 loads a week- I appreciate carriers being honest and letting me know immediately of truck issues or whatever the reason is as to why they can't commit to the load after agreeing to it. As long as I have enough time to recover a load- I understand fallouts happen and its not a big deal. But I've caught plenty of carriers just outright lying and making excuses and sometimes you fall into that assumption that all carriers are lying when they cancel. I try not to do that. Its when carriers fall out last minute and don't tell us for hours etc and get caught up in lies that I get upset. Always gonna run into shitty brokers tho that get mad over everything. Great work!

I used to work for a broker and you’re one of the nicest dispatch . Some guys will hang up as soon as you say the city name lol

I used to do this for my father who was an owner operator when I was 16. Booked loads, filled papers and sent the Docs to the factoring company as well. Really easy work for those trying to get into it. The hardest part I would say is negotiating the rate of the load. Sometimes you get the piss companies you negotiate with 1 pick up and 1 drop load and then the confirmation they send has multiple pickups/drops *cough*, XPO *cough*.

I've taken loads for a place that distributes groceries to much smaller older grocery stores throughout the Appalachian south eastern US. Most if their drivers and deliveries are done by daycabs. I've ended up in some places trying to back in with a Sleeper and 53' reefer and could barely fit, but luckily enough I was able to make it work. It's nice to see a dispatcher that takes into consideration the area the load is going to rather than grabbing the load and not telling the driver. Any good driver though would ask for an address, look it up and confirm the location on Google maps satellite before accepting the load. Wrong addresses and space are often a large factor for some larger rigs. Anyways, thanks for the video. It's nice to be able to see what's happening from the dispatchers perspective.

[terribleexperiments]

Hi bro! You are making a usefull videos .I think you are the only guy who tells about all of the secrets about Dispatch in Youtube.Thanks a lot.

[saidjama]

Anis your the most honest person i have ever seen in this business, the other question that i have is, what's the best load board to use for straight trucks or semi. I would appreciate your immediate response and keep up the good work. THANKS.

[shauksgamer]

I've been dispatching for almost 2 years now for a fleet of 25 trucks. I work graveyards and I love it. I have so much freedom and I can wear flip-flops to work!!

[joseecheverria]

Great content. Very few good trucking channels, I'd say almost none really. Nobody who's very professional.
