As a dispatcher or broker who deals with truckers directly through your daily interactions, here are some improvement methods or tips to consider >>>>> •Put yourself in the driver's shoes •Build rapport and relationships to better understand each other. •Balance between optimum miles for drivers for good earning, company profitability and time home for drivers (more so for dispatchers to consider) •Effective planning is the key (Broker should collaborate with dispatch to meet timelines) •Plan backhauls in advance to ensure driver is not stuck at a place for long (This has to be done in an proper manner, booking too early can be detrimental just as waiting too long can be as well) *Please note, backhaul should not be confused or used interchangeably with "cheap freight" * •You should be aware which drivers are trained and certified to carry HAZMAT loads (Brokers responsibility to properly vet the carrier and make sure the dispatcher understand HAZMAT by asking the right questions) •Dispatcher should be aware of HOS availability for drivers before booking loads (this is very important so you do not run into issues for pick up and/or timely delivery) •Understand physical and language limitations •Controlling Driver turnover (A good dispatcher can make or break a trucking company, if a dispatcher does his or her job properly, driver turnover will improve. •Be aware of the contract and company policies with Owner Operators #Trucking #freight #logistics

In April, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index reported a 1.5% year-over-year decline, making it the 14th consecutive month of decreases. The index fell to 111.7, which is down from 113.1 in March, proof of the ongoing softness in the truck freight market. The ATA Chief also noted a decline in seasonally adjusted volumes, suggesting that the lack of a rebound could lead to further capacity reductions. #thefreightarchitects #jaguarfreight #logistics
