To all my Devildog / Leatherneck Brothers and Sisters I need a little help!
Yes Hard Charger he is self employed. He has been driving since 2008 and he own only 1 truck. I hate to say this but "He's not the sharpest tool in Grandma's kitchen" my sister asking me to help him. But from what my research shows that I don't just have to do it for him. I can dispatch for others as well. What's trigger my spidey sense, what's throwing up red flags for me is he has had his trucking company for 14 yrs and only has 1 truck. I do data analysis I don't think he knows how how to properly evaluate a load.
Hell I'm 0311, 0389, 8154 in the Marine Corp has been Infantry and Security Forces and with my spreadsheet it lets me know if he's going to lose or make money on a load. I have been Beta Testing it all week on several load boards directfreight.com, doft.com, and 123loadboard.com.

What's going on Hard Chargers I'm unfortunately leaving the Corp because I got hurt going to Jump School at Ft. Benning so my days of fun and adventure are coming to a close. My brother in-law wants me to be a dispatcher for his Trucking Company. So from my research it seems to be very lucrative the issues that I have seen is negotiating price for the driver to pickup pickup and deliver a load. I'm the Statistics NCOIC at WFTBn at Parris Island so I created a spreadsheet that evaluates loads to to ship.
This spreadsheet is able to web scrape from Google Maps the Origin, Destination, Trip Time, and Distance its able to display the Map/Route the driver will take! This spreadsheet calculates the amount of fuel needed to pickup a load from its Origin to its Destination. This spreadsheet web queries the Diesel Average for FL, Ga, SC, NC, VA, AL, MS, LA, and TX .
It calculates the total fuel cost for the trip and fuel cost per mile. The formulas I have done myself. What I have problems with is being rather secretive with the MPG his Volvo 780 2015 Semi gets what is the true MPG for this truck this is info I need to know he some what shady. So when I type in the Origin and Destination the fastest route will be chosen In Google Maps. This is something that I have never done before so I'm a little lost. Any guidance as to how I can accomplish this task would be greatly appreciated.
Also what's your opinion iIwould really like to know on Freight Dispatching. Hard chargers I need Brutal Honesty no sugar coating!!!!

Also he pulls reefers and dry vans. He claims that he gets 4.5 mpg on his truck when he pulls a full load. When the load is 45,000-40,000 lbs. Does that sound correct I honestly don't Hard Chargers that why I'm asking. I'm more confident believing my fellow Marines.
