Others will tell you that you can walk around with a laptop and a cellphone and work as an independent freight dispatcher, but that is only partially true. You want to make sure you're comfortable, and prepared so that you can perform at your highest capability!

    Question:
    If I work full time, but want to supplement my income, is a freight dispatching business a good option for me.
    A LLC in California is $800, and not something I can afford at this time.
    I have an EIN for a craft business, but would I need a separate EIN for this business?

    • @covenantdispatchllc7644
      @covenantdispatchllc7644  9 месяцев назад

      Honestly, I would say yes, and only because some states take long to send you your Articles of Organization which is what you’ll need to open a business bank account, and that is essential. Some states give you an option to expedite it, but I’d rather be safe and get it.

    • @covenantdispatchllc7644
      @covenantdispatchllc7644  Год назад +1

      You absolutely can, and I speak about that in another video, but let me give you an example where a scanner/fax will be useful. Sometimes certain brokers require a scanned copy of a BOL vs a photo. In that circumstance the driver would take the BOL, and scan it to you themselves (unless of course they live relatively close to you then they can bring it to you physically). This is just one example. You don’t necessarily need it but as you grow, your use of it will become more necessary.
