I’m kinda new to this dispatching profession, any beginner tips?

I wanted to start truck dispatching but i dont understand how I can find truckers to move the loads. i dont own a trucking company and i dont have no experience in it so how do i find trucks to dispatch for?

Let's get real. Your dispatching business isn't struggling because you lack skills. It's your mindset holding you back. I've been there. Stuck. Frustrated. Then I made these shifts, and everything changed. 1. 'I can't' → 'How can I?' Stop saying you can't. Ask how you can make it happen. I thought I couldn't scale without a huge team. Then I asked, "How can I scale with what I have?" Hint: It's automation! 2. 'Failure is bad' → 'Failure is feedback' Every "failure" is a lesson. Embrace it. My last "failure" led to my most successful product ever. 3. 'I need to do everything' → 'I need to do what only I can do' You're the visionary, not the workhorse. Delegate or die. I was working 80-hour weeks until I realized: my job is to steer the ship, not scrub the decks. 4. 'I know enough' → 'I need to keep learning' The moment you stop learning, your business starts dying. I invested money into high-level courses. Mind = blown. Business = doubled. 5. 'Money is the goal' → 'Value is the goal' Focus on providing massive value. The money will follow. I used to chase dollars. Now I chase problems to solve. I'm solving bigger problems and making more money. 6. 'Competition is the enemy' → 'Collaboration is the opportunity' Your "competitors" could be your best allies. I was paranoid about others in my dispatching niche. Now I’m trying to make some joint ventures happen. More impact, more profit, less stress. 7. 'I need to be perfect' → 'I need to be present' Showing up consistently beats showing up perfectly. I launched my dispatching business before it was ready… Not only did carriers love it, but I was given great feedback on how to improve it. 8. 'Success is a destination' → 'Success is a journey' There's no finish line in business. Enjoy the ride. I used to think, "I'll be happy when..." Now I celebrate every win, big or small. Here's the deal: shifting your mindset isn't just positive thinking. It's about challenging your limitations and expanding your possibilities.

👋 Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick tip that's been a game-changer for me in managing my Hours of Service (HOS) and avoiding violations. Tip: Take advantage of the 8/2 split sleeper berth rule to extend your driving hours when you're running tight on time. How to Use It: The 8/2 sleeper berth rule lets you split your required 10-hour break into two parts: one stretch of 8 consecutive hours in the sleeper berth, and another stretch of 2 hours (which can be either in the sleeper or off-duty). The magic here is that after you’ve completed these split breaks, your 14-hour "on-duty" clock resets based on the start of the first break, not the second. So, for example, if you only have a few hours left on your clock but need to extend your day, taking a 2-hour break first lets you "pause" the clock, giving you more driving time without needing a full 10-hour rest. Give this a try next time you're close to running out of hours but still have a way to go. It’s especially helpful for long hauls and tight schedules! Let me know how it works for you—and if anyone’s already using this strategy, share how it's helped or if you have any other tips for managing HOS.

Good afternoon everyone. Richard here from southern California. 33 years old and I have been dispatching for 7 years. Started my own company 3 years ago. Looking to scale it properly.
