    Example:
    Dispatcher / logistics company
    Example №1
    You are a wife or relative of a trucker and you want to help your family save and make money…
    Example №2
    At the moment, you yourself are working as a truck driver and are friends with a computer…
    Example №3
    Let's say. You work for a company as a dispatcher. You have a salary + bonuses from the transaction…
    Example №4
    You are an independent dispatcher and work independently…
    Dry Van Dispatcher
    Dry Van Dispatcher

    You are a wife or relative of a trucker and you want to help your family save and make money.

    For each flight, you will be able to save 10 percent or more in the budget.

    It makes no sense to give money to other companies if you can keep them in the family.

    At the moment, you yourself are working as a truck driver and are friends with a computer.

    It will be even easier for you to find the freight and agree on the price of freight, since you yourself can choose the route, the number of days in transit and, of course, agree on the payment for your work that suits you.

    As a result, you will not need to pay 10-12% of the transaction of the control company.

    Dry Van Dispatcher

    Let's say. You work for a company as a dispatcher. You have a salary + bonuses from the transaction.

    Salary is $ 1000 per week and 2.5% - 3.5% of the gross income of the five truckers you serve.

    You helped five truckers to earn $ 32,000 on average = $ 160,000 turnover per month.

    Your salary this month will be:

    $ 1000 X 4 weeks = $ 4,000 plus $ 160,000 X 4.0% = $ 6,400 ..... TOTAL = $ 10,400

    Dry Van Dispatcher

    You are an independent dispatcher and work independently.

    You helped a trucker find freight from Kentucky to Texas for $ 2,500. It took you to search for cargo and paperwork for 2 hours.

    For this job, the dispatcher receives an average of 10% of the amount = $ 250, or if you want to work practically for free, then 5% = $ 125.

    When a broker settles with a truck driver, the dispatcher will receive his commission from the full amount of the transaction.

    Your monthly salary for this option:

    5 truckers who earned an average of $ 32,000 per month = $ 160,000

    You get 5-10% from $ 160,000 = $ 8000 - $ 16,000 per month

    Minus advertising costs $ 1,000- $ 2,000 in the first month

    How does the dispatcher earn?

    An experienced dispatcher, as a rule, can load from 5 to 8 trucks simultaneously, and the mathematics, in this case, looks like this:

    For example, you have 5 trucks that you load. Each of them must earn from $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 monthly.

    If the trucker does not earn at least $ 1,000 a day “gross”, that is, income before taxes and all expenses (repairs, insurance, fuel, food, etc.), then earnings will not be enough for him.

    Dispatcher charge 3-7%, so for example Dispatcher charge 5% from Gross of 30K it`s comes $1,500 from one truck monthly! Therefore 5 Trucks will generate for Dispatcher $7,500!

    Most importantly, the dispatcher receives a commission on the entire amount of gross income!
