Absolutely! We’re looking for serious and hardworking owner operators who want to put on miles at good rates. We’re not looking for excuses or stubborn carriers who don’t understand that the freight market is dynamic and rates fluctuate. Granted, as a new carrier it will be much more difficult for us to find you the truly great loads since all too many brokers and shippers will not work with carriers whose MC Authority is less than six months or one year. Once you’ve passed the one year mark, almost every broker becomes fair game.
There are no long-term commitments, cancel anytime. We will work hard to make sure that you’re satisfied with our services. Certainly, if a load is booked using our services, then of course you are committing to safely delivering the freight without loss or damage and paying our dispatch service fee as part of your factor settlements.
Since we’re not brokers to begin with, by definition we are not double brokering loads. Many brokers will not allow double brokered loads and many more will not pay the invoice if they find out a load has been double brokered. We are strictly a trucking dispatch agency which represents their carriers and owner-operators. We believe this to be the best, most honest, and the only way to remain transparent way to do business.
Absolutely! You’re the boss, we work for you; which means no forced dispatch. You’re not required to take every load that’s offered. We work hard to find loads that fulfill your requirements, but you’re able to decline any loads you don’t want to take. We ask that you define your requirements and communicate with our dispatch agents so as to save everyone time and headaches.
COPY OF INSURANCE NAMING ‘Highway Pros’ AS THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER.
This is a common practice for shippers, brokers & dispatchers alike. Copy of insurance should state both liability and cargo coverage.
SIGNED ‘DISPATCHER CARRIER AGREEMENT’
Why do I need to sign this? First, you can rest assured, this is NOT a contract. Our services are month-to-month. If you are dealing with a reputable company, an agreement should always be set in place that spells out exactly who is responsible for what. This way everyone is protected. There is absolutely no penalty for discontinuing service.
CARRIER SETUP PACKAGE & REFERENCES
This not only for our records but also for the Shippers & Brokers we do business with. This would include a copy of your MC Permit (FMCSA – http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/) as well as a signed W9 form.
COPY OF CDL (FOR EACH DRIVER BEING DISPATCHED)
In order to make sure all safety & compliance ordinances by the government are being met, we need to keep accurate records.
Yes, drivers can be routed to-or-through the house as directed by you.
No, you’re not required to use all of your available equipment but we would strongly recommend you let your dispatcher know about every piece of operable equipment you have available. Sometimes certain deals come up which aren’t posted on load boards and require a specific piece of equipment you may have, and the shipping party contacts us directly. These types of loads generally pay very well and it only helps us to know about your fleet.
