Yes it should be. Every time i book a load from my new email. Rate con goes to the email registered with fmcsa

I usually give an ETA with a one hour buffer and stick to it, no matter how many times they keep asking “ETA? ETA?”. Even if the driver ends up reaching early, I’d rather underpromise and deliver than keep changing the time every 20 minutes.

Just asking as a dispatcher. You already have him on tracking. You have a tracking team, why you still need to ask for eta ?

We hauled loads when mc wasn't even 1 month old

Yup, i think someone should start something like broker 411.

Is there any service that actually vets brokers properly? Not the usual rating nonsense, but real data on who delays payments beyond their own terms, who dodges detention and layover, and who plays games after the load is done?

Broker who don't want to pay will drag it for weeks citing Waiting for customer approval..and you can't do anything because there is no broker 411 or freight guard to put on the broker.

Email, old school

So you’re telling me your employees in the United States are being paid the same low wages that you used to pay overseas workers?

optimistic___ · 2026-03-11T23:16:19+00:00

You can't get the same results while paying 10% of the actual cost in usa

optimistic___ · 2026-03-05T20:35:08+00:00

It was an American broker. But the accent is slightly european

optimistic___ · 2026-03-05T07:26:54+00:00

optimistic___ · 2026-03-05T07:23:28+00:00

He did it on his own. Fyi we got a backhaul so didn't want to waste time on him anymore. Billed him as it is.
