Starting a trucking business is hard.
Getting your own authority, finding reliable loads, negotiating fair rates ā it's overwhelming, especially in your first few years.
That's why we're sharing this real story from one of our long-term partners: Andre from Bigshot Transports LLC.
The challenge: starting fresh with new authority
When Andre first started Bigshot Transports LLC, he faced the same challenges every new authority owner faces:
- Finding quality loads without an established reputation
- Negotiating rates without years of broker relationships
- Managing paperwork while also driving
- Building trust in a market that favors established carriers
New authorities often get offered the lowest rates and the worst loads. Brokers know you're hungry, and they use that leverage.
Andre needed a partner who would fight for fair rates from day one.
Why Andre chose FF Dispatch
"FF Dispatch is a wonderful company. They are honest, work hard, and always do their best for my company."
ā Andre, Owner, Bigshot Transports LLC
Andre didn't choose us because of flashy marketing or big promises. He chose us because we showed up every day, did the work, and treated his business like it mattered.
What mattered most to Andre:
- Honesty ā No hidden fees, no surprise percentages, no games
- Hard work ā Consistent effort to find good loads, not just any loads
- Partnership ā We genuinely cared about his success
2 years of results
Over two years working together, Bigshot Transports LLC has experienced:
- Consistent loads without the stress of constant hunting
- Fair rates negotiated by dispatchers who know the market
- Reliable support whenever issues came up
- Growth from a new authority to an established carrier
The relationship isn't just transactional. It's a real partnership built on trust and results.
What makes this partnership work
1. we remember we work for you
Some dispatch services act like they're doing you a favor. We never forget that you're the one driving the truck, taking the risks, and building the business.
Our job is to support your success, not the other way around.
2. transparent communication
When the market is tough, we tell you. When a load doesn't work out, we explain why and find something better. No excuses, no disappearing acts.
3. long-term thinking
We don't just grab the first load and move on. We think about your lanes, your preferences, and your long-term profitability.
That's why partnerships like ours with Bigshot Transports last years, not months.
Andre's advice for new owner-operators
Based on our conversations with Andre over the years, here's what he'd tell someone just starting out:
1. Choose a dispatch service that's honest, even when it's hard.
The market has ups and downs. You need a partner who will tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear.
2. Look for consistency, not just big promises.
Anyone can promise $3.50/mile on every load. What matters is who shows up day after day, week after week.
3. Build relationships, not just transactions.
The carriers who succeed long-term are the ones who build real relationships with their dispatchers, their brokers, and their support network.
