Understanding the difference between a freight broker and a dispatching service.
Let's clarify the difference between a freight broker and a dispatching service. For one, a freight broker is licensed by the FMCSA and arranges freight between the shipper and carrier; the broker handles the billing transactions, invoices the shipper, and pays the carrier at an agreed rate. The licensed broker can also dispatch for an owner-operator and a motor carrier.
Unregistered dispatch services are not licensed by the FMCSA and are only a service that finds loads for the motor carrier or owner-operator; they do not tender, invoice, or do back office work for the carrier or owner-operator. A dispatch service also charges a fee between 5-10%. Some dispatch services do not have a contract with you, red flag! Brokers do, which is a Broker/Carrier agreement. Understand that a motor carrier or owner-operator needs to ask the right questions to the dispatch service; if they are legally working under a licensed Freight Broker, ask them to provide an insurance certificate and operating authority through the FMCSA.
Also, be aware of motor carriers offering dispatching services to help find loads but are not being transparent in the rate they are charging you or the broker; make sure they share the rate confirmation with you, what they negotiated the rate for, and they should not do the invoicing for you (factoring), these individuals dispatch your truck under their authority as if your car is theirs, be aware and ask the appropriate questions as stated above.
