Hi my name is Aria!! I live in Arkansas and I plan on making $3,000 per month dispatching trucks. I am very new to Truck dispatching, and I would really appreciate is someone can take me under their wing a little bit. This is a new career for me, and I am super excited to get started. I want to get these 3 things from this course/community: 1. Master the fundamentals of dispatching - from load boards to broker communication - so I can build a strong foundation for my logistics company 2. Connect with experienced dispatchers and learn from real-world challenges and successes to avoid common mistakes 3. Develop systems and processes that allow me to scale my business efficiently and consistently For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1. Spending quality time with friends and family 2. going outside and connecting with nature 3. Going to the Gym

Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for letting me take part of this awesome community! I have been a driver for 10 yrs have done a little dispatching but ready to be off the road full time and join this side of the industry!

Hey guys I know the holidays have passed and the market is usually slow around now, but I just wanted to remind you guys about how if you can survive now, you will thrive when business is booming again!January is usually rough for freight — post-holiday slowdown, tight budgets, and softer rates, however, February is where things start to stabilize if you know what to look for. Here’s what’s happening right now 👇 1️⃣ Volume slowly picking back up Retail restocks, manufacturing restarts, and imports beginning to normalize = more consistent loads than January. It’s not peak season, but it’s better. 2️⃣ Rates are still soft (but negotiable) Rates haven’t fully recovered yet, which means: - Shippers are price-sensitive - Brokers who can communicate value (reliability, fast updates, clean paperwork) win more freight - Dispatchers need to negotiate smarter, not harder 3️⃣ Best strategy right now: consistency > cherry-picking Instead of waiting all day for one “perfect” load: - Lock in steady lanes - Keep trucks moving - Build broker relationships that pay off when spring demand hits 4️⃣ Spring prep starts NOW The dispatchers who survive slow season are the ones positioning themselves early: - Updating carrier packets - Tracking strong lanes - Learning market trends instead of panicking Slow seasons don’t last forever — but bad habits do. Use February to tighten your systems so you’re ready when freight heats up again 💪

If you’re trying to sign owner-operators, here’s a breakdown of the main marketing strategies, what they’re good for, and which ones are most effective 👇 1️⃣ Cold Calling (Most Effective if Done Right) 📞 Best for: New dispatchers with time, not money Why it works: Direct, immediate conversations with decision-makers Pros: - Fast feedback - No ad spend - High control over messaging Cons: - Rejection-heavy - Requires confidence + consistency 💡 Reality: Cold calling still signs the most owner-operators per dollar spent when done daily. 2️⃣ Warm Outreach (Highest Close Rate) 🔥 Best for: Dispatchers with some network or online presence Includes: - Instagram DMs - Facebook groups - Referrals - Follow-ups from past calls Pros: - Less resistance - Higher trust - Higher close rate than cold calls Cons: - Slower to scale - Requires relationship-building 💡 Reality: Warm outreach closes better, but takes time to build. 3️⃣ Paid Ads (Fastest Scale, Lowest Skill) 📢 Best for: Established dispatchers with budget Platforms: - Facebook Ads - Instagram Ads - Google Search Pros: - Consistent lead flow - Scales quickly Cons: - Expensive - Low-quality leads if targeting is off 💡 Reality: Ads work only after you know your offer and script. 4️⃣ Content Marketing (Long-Term Play) 📱 Best for: Brand builders Includes: - TikTok / Reels - YouTube - Educational posts Pros: - Builds authority - Brings inbound leads Cons: - Slow results - Requires consistency 💡 Reality: Content compounds, but won’t save a bad offer. 🏆 Overall Ranking (Dispatchers): 1️⃣ Cold Calling 2️⃣ Warm Outreach 3️⃣ Paid Ads 4️⃣ Content Marketing 🔑 Best Combo:Cold calls for volume ➕ warm follow-ups ➕ content for credibility. 💬 My question to you guys: Which strategy are you using right now, and is it actually working?
