Which process describes the dispatcher keeping the carrier running under a load through ongoing coordination with the broker and carrier?

• A. Track the Load
• B. Load/Unload Pay
• C. Dispatch Your Driver
• D. Fuel Surcharge

Answer: (C)

Dispatching is the ongoing coordination that keeps a driver moving under a load by staying in touch with both the broker and the carrier, adjusting plans as needed. This means confirming tender, pickup, and delivery windows with the broker while managing routing, driver availability, and any changes with the carrier to prevent delays. It’s about actively guiding the shipment through the day, solving problems, and keeping the schedule intact. Tracking the load focuses on visibility of location, not the continuous coordination; load/unload pay is about compensation; fuel surcharge relates to pricing adjustments for fuel costs. So the process described is dispatching the driver.
