Summary
Details

Do you want to become a dispatcher for a corporation or establish your own independent dispatch agency, but need to grow your industry knowledge? The Dispatcher's Guide to the Galaxy is as ode to practicality. It establishes a baseline of knowledge from which advanced guidance can begin. This book covers foundational pieces like insurance and how it affects a motor carrier's load selection, vetting the brokerage and freight opportunities, onboarding motor carriers onto a dispatch service and getting motor carriers onboarded with brokerages, and incorporates the FMCSA's November 2022 dispatcher guidelines. Most individuals entering the market as an independent dispatch agency have no prior experience as a dispatcher or in transportation as a whole. Which is not inherently bad. BUT it does put an exorbitant amount of pressure on that individual to absorb as much industry knowledge that can possibly be squeezed into a weekend training. In addition to operating as a dispatcher since 2018, the author has interviewed countless dispatchers, brokers, freight forwarders, insurance agents, load board providers and has succinctly synthesized all of that industry knowledge into this book.
