I've found that being with a major carrier it's easier to locate an empty easier by myself than to get ahold of someone in dispatch other than my own dispatcher. Google is your friend.. If you drive for a major carrier just look for the closest XPO, UPS,FED EX... ect. Nothing close to you well... then it's time to get dispatch involved...
Dispatcher:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
