@Bakhtullah Sabir Thank you

@Bakhtullah Sabir Thank you

@Snow Williams I understand, and I appreciate you explaining it. I’ve considered e-commerce, but one of my concerns with dropshipping is the upfront cost. You usually need money for advertising, testing products, setting up the store, and other expenses before you know whether the business will actually make a profit. Since I’m currently unemployed, I can’t afford to invest a lot of money or risk losing it. I also understand that dropshipping can involve a lot of competition, changing ad costs, supplier issues, and customer service problems. For now, I’d prefer to focus on dispatching because I’ve already started learning it and I’m looking for a way to gain practical experience without needing a large investment.

@Snow Williams Thank you for understanding and for offering to help. I really appreciate it, but I’d rather stay focused on dispatching for now. I’m not in a position to invest money into another business at the moment, even with a smaller budget. I want to focus on building my dispatching skills first. I hope you understand.

@Carol Metz Hello Carol, you can start by finding a carrier who’s willing to work with you. You don’t need to have your own DOT number if you’re dispatching for a carrier. You can use the carrier’s DOT/MC information and learn how the load board works while gaining real experience. I’d say finding a good carrier first is the best place to start. Also, besides DAT, you can look into Truckstop and 123Loadboard as other options for finding loads and practicing dispatching.
