A practical guide to truck dispatching

Alice Beverly’s guide treats dispatching as a sequence of operational decisions, from researching loads and setting rates to organizing paperwork and asking questions before getting started. It covers dry van, refrigerated, and flatbed trucks, with attention to load-board tools and building repeat business through a dependable system. The book also addresses a specific payment issue: how to file a claim against a surety bond for unpaid invoices. Its scope makes dispatching relevant both to those learning the work and to independent motor carriers who want to handle dispatch for their own trucks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People new to truck dispatching who want an organized introduction to the process.
  • Independent motor carriers considering dispatching their own trucks.
  • Dispatchers seeking guidance on load boards, rates, documentation, and unpaid invoices.
