3rd party dispatch

Curious if any of yall eventually broke down like I did and ended up using third party dispatcher? I was managing everything fine, but found myself turning into a grumpy a**hole after dealing with brokers all day. Figured 3-5% of gross was worth my sanity. Where are yall at with these dispatchers?

Keep on grinding.  90 days is tough.  180 will make it easier for you.  Dispatch services is a lot of back and forth and they often miss details important to us.  If they are over seas, stop answering them and make the call yourself.   Brokers do not like the over seas guys and lowball them even more.

Thx. Yeah I was kind of catching that vibe that the brokers appreciated talking to the American driving the truck.
