Question 1

What does a freight dispatcher do?

Accepted Answer

A freight dispatcher connects truck drivers and carriers with loads. You find loads on load boards, negotiate rates with brokers, handle paperwork, and ensure smooth pickup and delivery. It is a home-based business you can start with minimal overhead.

Question 2

Do I need a license or authority to dispatch trucks?

Accepted Answer

No. Freight dispatchers do not need an MC number or broker authority. You operate as an independent contractor or service provider for carriers. FreightFrameworks walks you through the legal setup, contracts, and compliance requirements.

Question 3

How much can a freight dispatcher earn?

Accepted Answer

Dispatcher income depends on the number of trucks you manage and your commission rate, typically 5 to 10 percent of the load. Many dispatchers managing 5 to 10 trucks earn $5,000 to $15,000 per month. FreightFrameworks members have scaled to six figures annually.

Question 4

How is dispatcher training different from broker training?

Accepted Answer

Broker training focuses on getting your own MC authority, finding shippers, and moving freight under your own name. Dispatcher training focuses on finding carriers, booking loads on their behalf, and earning commissions without needing your own authority.

Question 5

What tools do I need to start dispatching?

Accepted Answer

You need a computer, internet, a load board subscription like DAT or Truckstop, and a phone. FreightFrameworks provides templates for carrier agreements, rate confirmations, and invoicing to get you started immediately.
