"How can I get into dispatching cars?" That's a question I get asked at least once a week. Or, "How can I start booking cars for vehicle transporters?" It's also part of the reason I created Auto Transport Intel less than a year ago - because I spend a lot of time booking cars for transport.
My name is Jay and I refer to myself as the Car Hauling Dispatcher. I have worked in Auto Transport as a dispatcher for many years and I have trained my car hauling dispatchers from scratch. While I think most of those folks have moved on to other jobs, I'm hoping no one can say I didn't try to train them well. And I truly believe it's because booking cars is not for everybody. Car hauling dispatch is hard. For the amount of stress involved in dispatching, it can feel very unrewarding. However, when I am training a new car hauler dispatcher, I work very hard to answer every question and cover as much information as I can. That's why this Car Hauling Dispatch Training session - PART ONE - lasted two hours. And I hope you join me for PART TWO - coming in 2 weeks.
Tonight, Mike was my over the phone trainee (watching online with a 7-second delay). The Car Hauling Dispatch Training course material I used was created by me and was presented on a Google spreadsheet. It is not proprietary information and I am sharing it with you freely. I hope it helps you either become a better dispatcher or at least appreciate how difficult it is to train an auto transport dispatcher from scratch. In addition to my oultine, here are some helpful links to loadboards and information I mentioned:

Thank you HotShot Dave for offering to help the dispatcher the ability to try booking loads during training and find a way to use Central Dispatch without having a driver account. Obviously, they can't afford such a financial burden... Back haul button for $100/month !?

Let's face it. Lately, it's been freaking cold outside. And that means equipment breaks down and bodies get tired faster. And dedicated Car Haulers keep the rubber side down and keep delivering all of our cars. So this show is to recognize them and the hard work they do. And hopefully the next time you ship a car you understand what you're paying for and why. #carhaulingdispatcher #dispatchertraining #autotransportdispatch
Dave has a lot of great videos on his site about what it takes to be a car hauler and many of the sacrifices you'll need to make to succeed. I highly recommend that you visit Hotshot Dave on RUclips at / @hotshotdave He's a hard worker and a smart business man. Like his videos and subscribe to his channel.
If by chance your company was mentioned in this live show and you don't like it, leave a comment, and feel free to take it up with that person directly. This is an open forum and opinions are news.

⚡🚘 Welcome to PART ONE of Car Hauling Dispatch Training | How To Be An Auto Transport Dispatcher. I realize this video is TWO HOURS long, but Dispatcher Training seems like it takes forever. I know. I've trained before. Let's go. 🚘 ⚡
@Royal Quality Logistics Are you a broker? How can I help?
How difficult is it to get loads when you're a new company and don't have any ratings yet on these sites? What tips do you have for this?
I appreciate that you saw the need for more distribution of information regarding this field and were willing to tackle the job of getting it out there. My husband just purchased a car hauling trailer and went out there today totally unarmed, uninformed, blind trying to haul cars from an auction place. I caught your link somewhere today, took the time to watch you and what you have available in valuable knowledge and info and called him up and told him to come home first to arm himself with at least the basic knowledge of what he needs to know PRIOR to putting himself out there. I'm thankful for the valuable info you are conveying free to people. Really grateful.
Thank you! So glad to help. I think your husband could use this link: bit.ly/3hNUFcQ
I am a newbie dispatcher. Getting into it to help my brother bc he is the driver, and this video is helping me tremendously. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to do this !!!
You're welcome! Please don't forget to Like any video that helps you and remember to Subscribe and click the Notification Bell to never miss a video. Thanks!
How did you do? Are you still doing this? Did you learned?
Being that this has been released awhile ago, just wanting to make sure that all of this is still current. New to the industry and just want to make sure I’m doing exactly what I need to do to help make life easier for our carriers. Thank you very much for this wonderful info!
I'm told that most of the info remains quite accurate. Some of the technology and payments info has changed, but the fundamentals remain the same. Thanks for tuning in and best of luck on your journey.
You have a great way of explaining the industry and how it should be. Thanks!
I really appreciate that! Hope to see you in the live chat on a Tuesday night sometime.
One of the best videos that I have seen on RUclips, it was very helpful, I can't thank you enough, I have worked in a different industry for a feel years, and I was looking for a part-time job from like 4-8 pm or something that I can do during the day since I am an appliance repair and after every call, I drive about 20 minutes and I tough that dispatching would be possible, after watching this video I realize that this would not work. By making a video like this you definitely help many people looking for a new career to enter this one or decide if this is a good fit for them. I wish more jobs would do a class like this with 2 hours felt like it was 15 minutes so people could have a better understanding of other jobs before jumping into it. Once again, thank you much for your time and effort.
Sincerely Magno Tubertine
I'm so glad my information helped you come to a conclusion. Dispatching for car haulers is definitely not a part-time job.
This was a great informative video. I learned a WHOLE lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thanks for asking such good questions Mike.
Thank you!
Watching the first video. I'm learning everything from your channel. Many thanks
Fantastic. Hope to see you in the live chat on a Tuesday night sometime.
I liked. Thank you! I just started working as a dispatcher and did some mistakes that you did in the past but I am learning fast and love my job.
This is exactly what I needed. You explain everything so well. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
You are welcome! You might also be interested in watching us dispatch live on Thursdays at noon: ruclips.net/p/PL9Iq3gMukvmzoSCIbSWHtsaD2xUItYZGG

Hey Jay, Sorry i missed your live chat this past tuesday, I was on the road and couldn't get on the WWW where i was at, but i am watching right now to catch up, See ya next tuesday!!, I'll definitley be here
Sounds great, Patrick. The next live show is all about Carrier Compliance. Should be another great interview. See you then.
Very very good information I’m trying to dispatch myself. This info going to help a lot thanks
the wonky problem on the back haul is because the state is still selected in the search criteria ,there is no Detroit Massachusetts or Boston Michigan
Awesome video, very helpful! Learned a lot and subscribed ! Thank you!
Hi Jay , I like your approach. Of course your Video is helpful. To pay 1000$ to others or to pay to you 10$ ....if the content is the same..Please just update the timing issue. I mean the last 3 months training trend .
I talk about dispatching and rates periodically. Just keep tuning in. Thanks.
@@ATIAutoBusiness Ok, Understood.
Great info once again thanks so much for your help Jay your awesome
That's great news, Mike. And thanks for the great email you sent! And for anyone looking for next level Auto Transport Dispatching Training, after you watch this video please let me know how I can help.
was fun Jay...
very interesting
Super Jay you the real Superman !!!
Thank You!
@@ATIAutoBusiness you welcome sir !!! I have been trying to catch you live but you have been speaking with my business partner Catherine , thanks for all the great info. Actually wrapping up watching part 2 of this video.
Fantastic!
That's pure gold
Watching your videos in Dec 2023 and I'm loving the way you described everything in details, I'm a freight dispatcher since 4 years, Is it worthy doing Car hauling dispatch right now and make good $$ ?
Thank you! And that's a good question. Please say hello in the live chat on Thursday's Dispatching LIVE! so we can talk about this: ruclips.net/user/liveMGFgs5b_TfM?si=9cp3oPk28E7Mi0_M
Best dispatcher Jay 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Sam!!!
Very good!, great content!👏👏👏💥
Great info bro! Keep up the great work! #onecarhaulergang!
Thank you!
TY for info man ♥
I'm just getting to watch it now. Sorry I missed it "live".
That's no problem at all, Jesse. We had a great turn out and lots of stamina in the audience for such a long training session - PART ONE! I hope you enjoy the show and please remember to give a Like. Thanks, again.
Jay, you are the man! Best videos by far in this space. I'm about to dispatch a car hauler but I paused when you said, It's hard, frustrating , very stressful, very hard and unrewarding. Without asking how much you make, it must be worth it. For all that stress and difficulty, it must be very lucrative.right? i'm a former welding inspector, so the stress cant be too bad, but how hard is it? Love your videos,just discovered you about a week ago,Watching every video, learned something on every one. Thank you
Jay
Thank you, Clancey! I hope you can join the live chat on Thursday so we can talk about the stress vs. the money. It's not a simple answer.
Thanks a lot, Watching from Egypt
Thanks for watching!
super helpful video! anyway, I can get that excel sheet?
Send an email to autotransportintel at gmail dot com and we'll try to get that out to you.
1:26:46 Very simple. Have a Power of Attorney signed by your driver giving you permission to sign on their behalf for dispatch related activities. You're free to go from there. Dispatchers should have that as a part of their dispatch contract.
That's an interesting solution. However, Power of Attorney is usually reserved for someone very close to you. And frankly, I don't think all of the drivers I work with even today would be on board with that kind of set up. Nor would I want that level of legal responsibility in their business. Are you a dispatcher, driver or broker?
As new dispatcher, how do you send the Bol over to the broker if it needs to be signed during pickup and drop off to get driver paid?
Thanks for the question. Please ask it again in our live chat on Thursday's show for the answer: ruclips.net/user/livemqnopFXQ62A?si=d-O0e_t-dKCHGfEs Hope to see you there!
Thanks very much for the video. Can you expound on (or provide a link to where you may have already covered it) why it's difficult to Dispatch for enclosed trailers? Thanks, Jay!
Thank you! Please join us Thursday so we can discuss it live: ruclips.net/video/2G4uwBeEzSM/видео.html
Great information thank you.
CAN YOU LIST YOUR SPREADSHEET SOMEWHERE?
Great job thank you!!
super video man.
THANK YOU!
Awesome Video. Learned too much. I've recently started car hauling dispatching. Can I have this spread sheet(s) please, if it's free? Thank you!!!
Can you donate to the channel in exchange for a copy? If so, please email me: autotransportintel at gmail.com
Great info thanks!
You're welcome!
Hey Jay
I'm just about to get started in the Car Hauling Dispatching business I just want to say this is an awesome video there's a lot of questions I would like to ask you I'll send you an email shortly!
Thanks, Willie. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
I found you while I was looking for info on becoming an auto transport broker. I gotta ask this dumb question, is that the SAME as being an auto transport broker or different? If so how is it different? Also, can you recommend a learning source for becoming an auto transport broker? What I've found so far is at least several years old and kinda "schlocky." Your videos are awesome and information packed. Thanks for that...
Thanks, Richard! Being a successful auto transport broker entails helping shippers get what they need when they need it while helping carriers stay loaded and profitable. If you can do that, you'll be great. So I highly suggest you sign up to stay informed with ATI: autoconversion.net/autotransportintel/sign-up/ Thanks for watching.
Nice
no one checks their voicemail
I don't remember if you said it and did not hear it. How does a dispatcher get paid?
A dispatcher gets paid a percentage of the load - by the driver - for loads they book and are successfully delivered. Click here to learn more: ruclips.net/video/pSvFiuM7UBs/видео.html
thank you jay
Hi, I am looking for being dispatcher. That video is very interesting and helpful. I am looking for some truck drivers who speaks Russian and Mongolian.
My recommendation is to make a Facebook ad and keep sharing it. Also, you can join my live chat on Tuesday nights and let people know that you're available for that. And be sure to keep contacting carriers that speak Russian and Mongolian.
@@ATIAutoBusiness Wow, Thank you for your quick reply....
I know that the video is 4 years old, but I have a question- how much the dispatcher should earn in average? Thnx.
Hi, I'm New in USA, I'm from Cuba and I'm trying to learn though your videos to become a dispatcher so that I can help a friend which is a car carrier. But I speak Spanish and I can't find any tutorials as good as this one but in Spanish lenguaje to at least start learning the tricks in my own lenguaje. Do you know if there are any dispatcher's tutorials in my lenguaje? Thaaaaanks a lot for your help brother, it means a lot to me.
I'm already in debt with all you!!
Thanks, Jeanne. Try posting in my Dispatching LIVE! chat room to see if you can find someone: ruclips.net/video/Qk30nF2VVmE/видео.html

Thank you!
Hello, I'm owner operator working for small family business. Planning to work independently with brokers. Looking for to run Canada - US Any advices how to start. Thank you.
How can I get this entire excel sheet?
Please send an email to autotransportintel at gmail dot com. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the awesome videos. Not sure if you mentioned it or I missed it but , as a dispatcher you don’t need any permits or license?, you just use the carrier mc# Ann’s insurance and that’s all you need to operate as a dispatcher? Thank again
Thanks for the comment - and for watching. You don't need a permit, but recent conversations are pointing out that dispatchers need a broker's license. Since I am not a lawyer (and therefore not providing legal advice), I will point out that very few dispatchers have a broker's license - and most are only dispatching for one carrier. Logistically, if the driver has access to a load board, anyone can book loads on the driver's behalf using that information. That's how I learned it and I believe that still applies.
How do I get onto central dispatch load boards as a dispatcher? I really need your help
Tune in now: ruclips.net/video/Uewi_vnRk4w/видео.html
My friend has a car hauling company & wants me to be a dispatcher but I have no knowledge on how to dispatch so I’m new to this. I pretty much need a lot help on how to create loads to how to report damages
You are watching the right video.

Can I get a equipment list
If you skip ahead to 31:35 in the video, I cover Workspace Orientation and talk about what tools will help you succeed in dispatching. I hope that answers your question. If not, please join us on Dispatching LIVE! on Thursdays to get answers in the live chat: ruclips.net/p/PL9Iq3gMukvmzoSCIbSWHtsaD2xUItYZGG Thanks, again.
I’m looking for a dispatcher for my 3/4 car hauler in Houston tx , anyone can help pleas?
Just head on over to Murphy Auto Transport Services and mention ATI murphyautotransportservices.com/
Thank you so much 😊
Do you know how much percentage would they charge for a 3 car hauler in Texas?
Hi Jay thank you men .... you're perfect
Thank you. And please see hello if you make it to the live chat on a Tuesday night.
Do you dispatch for other companies now?
I do not dispatch anymore, but I highly recommend checking with murphyautotransportservices.com/ to see if they have availability.
How can I get a copy of that work sheet?
Hello. Please send an email with your contact info and request to autotransportintel at gmail dot com.
How many truckers can 1 person successfully dispatch for on a regular basis without going postal? Let’s say 1 truck/trailer per trucker/company.
Great question! In Car Hauling, 7 full time drivers (each a separate company) will most likely make you postal! For a veteran dispatcher, 5-6 should be a good balance point. For a new dispatcher, 3 will seem like the max. Freight is totally different where dispatchers often don't work with less than 10 trucks at a time. I hope that helps and I'd love to hear how many you're working with and what you've experienced - and please join the Live Chat tonight at 8pm central time. Thanks.
Great video man ! Can you tell me how do I get a copy of my Mc certificate?
Thank you! I think this link should be able to help you with that: ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/210/~/how-can-i-find-out-if-my-operating-authority-%28active-mc-number%29-has-been-issued
What's COD
COD is a payment term meaning Collect On Delivery - as opposed to Quick Pay (which is a check in the mail) or Billing (which means an invoice will be paid after a specified time period). COD can be Cash On Delivery or Check On Delivery, but either way, the driver will be given payment at the time the car is delivered. And check usually mean Company Check - not Personal Check. Does that help?
cash on delivery
What other videos should I watch to be come a good dispatcher
Definitely watch all 3 parts of Car Hauling Dispatcher Training, and then watch Master Class and Dispatching Live! Here's the playlist: ruclips.net/video/c6Q5JYFtYNI/видео.html
@@ATIAutoBusiness thanks bro I appreciate it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hey J how do I get a BOL document, is it something I could just print out from google or what, can you explain a little more
Hi, Josue. A BOL is a document where you can enter pick up and delivery information as well as mark vehicle damages before pick up to protect yourself from damage claims. I found one online here: bit.ly/32J6PLP I hope that helps.
So I could print this and use it?
And thanks
Yes, I think that should work.
One more thing I wanted to ask you J, you wouldn’t happen to be available to dispatch myself would you? 👍
Does the costumer send you the dispatch sheet? I no how to call them but dont no anything past that other than to deliver the car. My dispatcher is sick so I need info asap please
If you are working for the shipper directly (and they are paying you the transport fee), they will most likely just provide you with pick up and delivery information. If you are hauling for a broker or dealer (which is a third party contracted on behalf of the shipper), they should send you a 'dispatch sheet' - which will also include payment terms, etc. Does that answer your question?
Hi Jay, can you tell how do you get or use the driver's board account to do your business?
Hi, Mario. Are you talking about load board login access or something else?
Auto Transport Intel yes , the way you log in to work, do you do it using all separate drivers log in info or you have one of your own connected to all drivers? Thank you so much
You log in with your driver's accounts. In auto transport, you do not have your own accounts, but your drivers do (freight is different). In fact, you are working on behalf of your driver and you represent the driver's company. And they fill out their own paperwork. Your job is to search for loads, verify loads and make a lot of phone calls. I hope that answers your question.
Auto Transport Intel got it, thanks and wish you the best
You're welcome. And please say hello in the live chat if you make it to one of my Tuesday Nights Live shows.
Can you least under someone else's Authority as a car hauler
Yes, and I highly encourage you to learn more about it at CTS Business Coaching: bit.ly/2GFQYqF
if you have a team drivers Can you have only one account in Central?
It's one Central Dispatch account per MC authority - regardless of the number of drivers, trucks or company size. And that's why the individual owner-operator feels the most pain of the high monthly subscription. Thanks for the question.

hey im interested in getting into car hauling im trying to figure out the cost per mile in a dually with a 5 car trailer and if it would be profitable. but i herd u say a car was .66 cent a mile how would u caculate that. is that per car or u add each car up individually and thats the total cost for basiclly your drive and entire load
Hi, Mike. Great questions. The cents per mile is the loaded miles (which may or may not be your total miles) for that car. Then you would do your total calculations from there. Very important: I have heard it said that you must price insurance rates before you buy equipment so you know your bottom line expenses. Have you read my blog post Auto Transport Business Startup? www.autotransportintel.com/car-hauling-dispatcher/how-to-start-new-auto-transport-business/ Hope to see you on Tuesday Night in the live chat and I hope this info helps you. Thanks for watching.
Give me a call 208-868-3315
awsome vidio
Thank you very much for watching. I hope to see you in the live chat on a Tuesday night. Please reply if you have any specific questions.
Do I need obtain any license for dispaching ?
Please watch this video: ruclips.net/video/0QPHOOVZ2Xw/видео.html First, you need to understand the difference between a broker, which requires a license, and a dispatcher. Broker's arrange for freight to get moved, while dispatchers work for carriers to book loads. Dispatchers even work for brokers to make phone calls and talk to carriers, but dispatchers don't arrange freight shipments with shippers. So your question is, what are you doing?
Is there a website for it?
Try clicking here: d2myx53yhj7u4b.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/IC-Auto-Transport-Bill-of-Lading-9235-PDF.pdf
Hey J , on central dispatch how legit are the phone numbers they put on the side as notes, saying to text or call certain person ? Can it be trusted?
Of all the information posted on Central, those phone numbers are truly the best way to find the right person to talk to FAST. In fact, if you get the load booked (and delivered), save that info and build a relationship with that broker as a preferred carrier so that you get called first in the future - before the next load ever gets posted on the load board.
Thank you brother, I sent you my info the other day, regarding in need of a dispatcher, let me know please.
I am looking for a broke that speaks Spanish and helps me get car hauler load
Thanks for letting me know.
Question:
What is better Truck or Pickup?
A Truck need 30 Litre for 100 km and a Pickup?
And why you dont transport factory cars to the dealerships?
Greetings from germany
Guten Tag! And thanks for watching the show, Pascal. The type of truck chosen by the car hauling business is generally based on the type of trailer being used, but overall a larger dually truck like a 5500 is preferred for maximum pulling power for 3-4 car trailers. For 5 cars and over, owners are generally looking for a semi truck. And yes, miles per gallon will be a factor in the profitability of the business. Also, the car haulers I work with typically focus on hauling used cars on open trailers vs. new cars in enclosed trailers. I hope that answers your question.
Thank you for your answer.
How much Diesel use a 5500 per 100 miles?
Approximately 16-20 gallons = about 60-75 liters for 100 miles.
Alright Alex Jones😂😂😂😂
LOL
