Dispatching Services

Message

I’d like to introduce myself; my name is James Best, located in Morrison IL, and I’ve been in the trucking business since 2015. I started as a company guy with Schneider, home every day, running the Wal-Mart account. I’ve always had the Entrepreneurial spirit and always strive to push myself to the next level. So, after two years I decided to become an owner operator. I had the credit and the business sense to be able to purchase a truck but was uncertain whether I, or my family, would like the life style of over the road trucking so I went with a Lease Purchase, with this if I found the life style was not for “us” then I could simply give the truck back with a small monetary penalty. After running OTR for 3 months we found that the life style wasn’t as bad as we feared, so we decided to commit to the business and purchased a truck. Weeks later I had a friend offer me an opportunity to run the spot market under his authority, though I was comfortable where I was at, I couldn’t refuse the opportunity. Two years later I got my own authority and become a carrier, Best Motor Carriers, LLC, MC# 1089747. Months later I realized that trying to get customers as a one truck one trailer operation was very difficult, so I opened a brokerage, Best Logistics, LLC, MC# 1119651, now I could commit to moving more than just one load at a time. Word got out about the brokerage and with that I could legally dispatch trucks. I had a friend that just got into the business and was a bit over whelmed with the industry and wanted me to take some of the burden off his shoulders. Not only did we dispatch for him we also took care of all his carrier packets, rate cons and POD’s we also confirmed appointments and did check calls with the broker on his behalf, which allowed my friend to concentrate on the road ahead. Soon I realized that this was a viable business in itself and knew many Carriers that would be responsive to this type of service. So here we are.
