Frequently Asked Questions
WHY DO I NEED A DISPATCHER?
We want you to focus on driving. Octhias Services LLC has access to over $10,000,000 in freight and we use our cutting-edge technology daily to locate the hot markets. We will position your trucks in the hot market and find the best paying loads for you. Let us increase your bottom line!
IS THERE A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN A DISPATCHER AND CARRIER?
Yes, there is a legally binding contract between our company and the carriers we work with. When a dispatcher books a load with one of our contracted carriers, this creates a binding agreement known as a “service contract”.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET SET UP WITH YOUR SERVICES?
Once you have completed all the required documents ( W-9, Carrier packet, POA) and get accepted as a client, we will process the information and reach back out to you within 24 hours.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE?
The amount of money you make is completely up to you and will vary due to the season. Keep in mind that your equipment, available hours and lanes chosen also play a factor in your weekly gross.
We make moves for YOU first! So, if it doesn’t make you $$$ then it doesn’t make sense.
CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE DISPATCHING SERVICES?
Regardless of who you choose to use as your dispatching partner, it is highly encouraged to use only one at a time. When you use more than one service together, it can waste time and resources and will not increase your bottom line. This is not the goal!
However, we would love to have you on our team!
HOW OFTEN WILL WE COMMUNICATE?
We are partners in this business and our goal is to build a relationship with you to maximize your profits while you drive. Communication is a vital part of how we operate. Contact can take place via email, phone call, or text.
CAN I DETERMINE THE AREAS THAT I WANT TO TRAVEL?
Yes, we want to make sure we work within your needs and comfort level. We value safety over profits.
DO I NEED MY OWN AUTHORITY?
Yes- New authorities are welcome as well!
CAN YOU HANDLE BACK-OFFICE SUPPORT ALONG WITH DISPATCHING?
Yes, we want to make your job less stressful, and that means handling all of the paperwork and making sure you get paid daily. Allow us to do that for you while you DRIVE!
