«Why do you need a dispatcher if loads are already posted on load boards?»
A load on the board is just the beginning.
You have to grab it before everyone else.
Then negotiate the rate.
Last run: the market on that lane was about $3,600, and we landed $4,400.
Then comes the rate con, the paperwork, the updates to the customer.
And at night I'm checking where my drivers are and cleaning up whatever went wrong.
A load board shows you the load.
Getting it delivered for good money is the real work.
