Remote Dispatcher Setup Checklist (No

LLC)
1. U.S. Phone Number
 Use Google Voice (free) or virtual phone services like OpenPhone or Grasshopper.
 Purpose: Carrier communications, DAT registration, and professional presence.

2. Payment Setup
 You can receive payments via:
o PayPal (USD account)
o Wise (TransferWise) for international USD transfers
o Payoneer
 You can pay carriers directly via these services as well.
 Later, if you scale, you can open a U.S. bank account.

3. Load Board Access


 Start with DAT Basic to scout loads.
 Filter by origin, destination, and freight type.
 Keep track of load info in Google Sheets or Excel.

4. Build a Remote Carrier Network


 Social Media & Online Groups:
o Facebook: “Owner Operators USA”, “Trucking Dispatch Network”
o LinkedIn: Search for “Owner Operators” or “Truck Drivers USA”
o Reddit: r/Truckers, r/OwnerOperators
 Outreach Message: Introduce yourself as a remote dispatcher coordinating loads.
 Track in a spreadsheet: Name, phone/email, truck type, insurance, capacity.

5. Communication & Dispatch Tools


 Use WhatsApp / Email to coordinate carriers.
 Google Sheets / Excel for tracking loads, carriers, and payments.
 Optional free dispatching apps for organization (TruckLogics trial, AscendTMS trial).
6. Contracts & Agreements
 Even without an LLC, create a simple dispatcher agreement with carriers:
o Payment terms (percentage per load)
o Responsibilities (pickup, delivery, communication)
 Helps build trust and avoid misunderstandings.

7. Start Dispatching Loads


 Use DAT Basic to identify loads.
 Assign loads to your carriers.
 Track everything carefully: pickup, delivery, payment, carrier commission.

8. Scale Gradually
 Start with 1–3 carriers and a few loads per week.
 Build a reputation for reliability — carriers are more likely to work with you
remotely if you pay on time and communicate well.
 Once you have consistent income, consider upgrading to DAT Power and/or forming
an LLC for easier banking and contracts.

💡 Pro Tip: You don’t need a U.S. LLC to start — focus on building a reliable carrier
network and learning how to match loads effectively. The LLC and U.S. bank account can
come later once you scale.
