Remote Dispatcher
Topic 27922 | Page 1
Hello everyone ,
I've heard a lot of companies in the US use a remote dispatcher. Any idea on how could I do this ?
I am from Europe, I have 7 years trucking experience in all of Europe. I've done a little research and I don't think there is too much difference between the 2 markets. If I am wrong please correct me.
Any idea or feedback will be appreciated
Kind regards, Alex
Hi, Alex~~ and welcome to the forum !
I'm not sure we have the answers you are seeking here, as it's been quite some time since your post, with no replies. I apologize, but we are more geared up here to get new/potential drivers set up with training companies, to get them on the road and making money. As far as a 'remote' dispatcher , are you speaking of 'leasing on' to a company for freight; paying for access to load boards, or ... other ? ? ? Many 'company' drivers have 'remote' dispatchers at this moment in time, due to the COVID 19 virus; operating remotely from their own homes, but I don't think that's what you are seeking.
It appears that you are, in fact, an Owner/Operator (and we DO have a few here, as well...) and might be better served by the likes of OOIDA. You can access them and their information with a quick Google search.
To 'my' knowledge, the markets are similar between our countries, as you asked. I hope you find your answers; feel free to stop back by and share your results, if you so feel inclined!
Have a great day, sir/madam~!
