Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Dispatching

"Frequently Asked Questions"

NO CONTRACTS / NO COMMITMENTS  – Together we establish a simple Agreement which will state the services that we will provide to your company, and the percentage of each load that will be paid to Quality Dispatching Services. If for what ever reason, you decide to move on, you have the right to “opt out” of our services at any time. You may download a copy of our Agreement by: <CLICKING> on the Blue Button at the bottom of the page, filling it out, then forwarding it to: onboarding@qualitydispatchingservices.com

Absolutely, it doesn’t matter where you live! We have close relationships with Brokers and Shippers that handle freight in all geographical areas of the Lower 48 States. Remember it is your company and if you want to go somewhere special, just tell us, and we will help you get there. There may be a bit of an issue getting out of Key West but we will do our best!

Yes, Per 49 CFR 371.2 (a) ” Motor carriers, or persons who are employees or bona-fide agents of carriers, are not brokers within the meaning of this section when they arrange or offer to arrange the transportation of shipments which they are authorized to transport and which they have accepted and legally bound themselves to transport.”

(b) “Bona fide agents are persons who are part of the normal organization of a motor carrier and perform duties under the carrier’s directions pursuant to a preexisting agreement which provides for a continuing relationship, precluding the exercise of discretion on the part of the agent in allocating traffic between the carrier and others.”

 

We are “None of the Above”, QDS is hired by Owner Operators as Bona-fide agents to locate and book freight at the discretion of the Owner Operator. To reiterate, you tell us what you want to transport and where you want to go, then we deliver! (See previous question).

Yes, you can find your own loads, but if you are wasting time searching truck load boards instead of moving freight you are losing money!

Example: (I Know that you’re not looking for loads while you are driving are you….???) Good, now let us say that you are sitting at the truck stop and  see a load on a truck load board, first you must be the “first” caller to win the load, run your credit check on the broker or shipper, fill out the packet, contact your insurance agency and have them submit your COI, wait on your rate confirmation, submit your paperwork to your factoring company for payment – Quality Dispatching Services does it all for a very low percentage of the load!

ABSOLUTELY NOT – Each Owner Operator is assigned to an individual who in fact operates independently as a “bona-fide-agent” for each Owner Operator.

Quality Dispatching Services does not handle funds nor broker freight. You will be paid directly by the Shipper or Broker. Should you elect to use a Factoring Service, they will contract with you to establish a payment system. We feel comfortable promoting TRIUMPH factoring service to our customers, they have been a solid company with extremely fast “Credit Check” and “Payment” services.
