Why Do Dispatchers Struggle to Find Carriers — Especially When Starting Out?
Dispatchers: If Carriers Can’t Find You Online, They Sign With Someone Else.
Today’s owner-operators do not just trust a flyer, a Gmail address, or a Facebook comment.
They search Google.
They check Facebook. They look for proof. They want to know you are real before they give you their MC, DOT, paperwork, or business.
If you are not visible online, you are losing real carriers and real income.
Flyers with only a Gmail address are usually ignored now. Too many carriers have been burned by fake names, fake offices, and overseas dispatch scams.
Can a carrier tell 100% that you are a real U.S.-based dispatcher from a flyer?
Usually not.
