How do I get paid and how long does it take?
You will receive your money directly to your bank account by the Factoring company. We have no access to it, as it is booked under your USDOT authority. Pay out time is usually 24-48 hours after the load is dropped depending on who you factor with.
We can also contact the shipper directly on your behalf for a quick pay.
How does DA Dispatchers charge me?
We will invoice when the load is picked up by you and you can pay us when your payment is released by the Factoring company.
For Unlimited Plan we invoice you upfront.
How long does it take to get set up?
If you provide all necessary documents, within 2 hours.
What areas can I run?
We can run you in all 48 states or within area you specify.
How long do I have to stay on the road?
This is entirely up to you!
What rates can I average?
This depends on lot of factors viz.: the market conditions, climatic conditions, your time in business, safety rating and numbers of states you are able to run, etc. We negotiate the best rates for you with the broking house, so you can be assured that we will always provide the best possible rates.
Can I run local/regional?
Yes, as long as you are comfortable running less miles.
What kind of freight can you book for me to haul?
We book all kind of freight from Chocolates to Airplane Parts. If you have specific request please let us know.
How will you bill me?
We will bill you by PayPal Invoice.
Do I need my own Motor Carrier Authority?
Yes. Unless you are leased to a carrier and just need assistance dispatching your current shipments.
What kind company requirements do you have?
We prefer time in business of 6 month, but do not require it. Certain brokers have this as a mandatory clause. It does restrict us and reduce the scope but we still can get you loads. Other than that your authority and insurance must be active.
Do you have a broker license?
No. We do not have broker license and book everything under your authority. By doing so, we cannot “cut” your rate as some broker-dispatch companies do!
For what type of trailer can you book freight?
We specialize in freight booking for all type of trailers viz.: Dry Van, Flatbed, Reefer, Step deck, Power Only, etc etc
I have found dispatcher who charges less. Can you lower your fees?
No. We believe that anyone who is charging less will have to run more trucks to sustain their business, which in return will degrade service quality and lower rates booked for carrier.
We dedicate dispatch manager to each truck and each manager just looks into 10 trucks in order to insure our client is getting highest quality of service at all times.
And by doing so, we basically make our service much more affordable than competition.
Am I going to have a lot of “layover” days where you guys can’t find a load ?
Your truck should never be stopped for lack of a load. It is also important to reduce the empty miles as much as we possibly can.
When you work with DA Dispatchers as soon as your truck turns in the first load we immediately send you the information for the following load and so on and so on.
Does DA Dispatchers send original rate confirmations ?
A Big Yes! DA Dispatchers sends the confirmations that we receive straight from the client that is paying to have the freight moved.
This is one of the reasons why we are recognized as a very transparent and honest company by many of our clients.
You will always know exactly how much each load is paying.
You can even call the client yourself directly to confirm that the price you are seeing on the confirmation is the real price for the freight.
Please remember that we work for your company. Yes, you pay us a commission for finding you the best loads..
How much do you charge?
We have three plans. Kindly check our Plans section for complete details.
I want DA Dispatchers to be my dispatcher right now, what do I need to get started ?
The process to get started is relatively easy , all we need is your letter of authority (MC/DOT), Copy of Insurance Certificate (Cargo and Liability) and your W9.
Apart from these documents we also need our “Dispatch Service Agreement” signed and returned. This is the contract between DA Dispatchers and your company.
When we have the documents and contracts signed we can start working immediately. The entire process should take less anytime between 2-24 hours provided all the required is sent by you.
Why is it so important to have a good truck dispatcher ?
Having a good truck dispatcher that works with your company is one of the keys to having a successful trucking business. Without a solid truck dispatcher your business will most likely fail.
If you are an owner operator you need to be focused on driving. Driving trucks is not an easy job and it requires attention and concentration.
On the other hand, finding loads, (good loads) is not an easy job either. It requires a lot of time, paperwork, phone calls , documentation, etc. etc.
It is simply impossible to do both jobs equally well at the same time. There is just not enough time in a day to be able to do both things at the same time. Not to mention the insane levels of stress that both jobs can bring.
A good truck dispatcher allows you to focus on driving and taking care of the mechanical aspect of your truck, the logbooks, inspections, etc. etc. In turn, the dispatcher takes care of sending you all of the trip information and booking the highest quality loads for you.
While you are driving to make your deliveries on time we are working for you. We are finding the best loads and making sure that your truck runs the least amount of empty miles that it can possibly run.
I have been told that a good truck dispatcher can tremendously increase the revenues and profit of any trucking company is that true ?
Definitely, when you have a good truck dispatcher you can concentrate on growing your business, adding trucks, looking for other drivers, getting better deals on insurance, etc. etc..
The owner operators that are driving while at the same time finding their own loads do not have time to grow a trucking business past 1 truck. On the contrary, the owner operator that has a truck dispatcher working for him has sufficient time to investigate and invest in the growth of his company.
