Hello all,
I’m a new member here. My husband is a driver and we will be purchasing our own truck and running under our own authority in within the year. I will handle the paperwork and dispatch.
His current company has agreed to let me dispatch his truck starting in the next few weeks, and then they will give me more of their trucks to dispatch once I get my feet wet.
I’ve worked with the trucking industry for years (as a customer), so I’m not completely ignorant of what to expect. I’ve also recently been studying load boards and lane rates. My question is, as a dispatcher what type of paperwork and information will I be dealing with for each load? I am grateful for the learning opportunity that I’ve been given before we start out on our own and don’t want to make any unnecessary mistakes. I appreciate any input and advice you can give me.
