The Dougdar Process Manifest

Six punched stops from first call to rolling revenue—documented, traceable, and tuned to maximize your profitability without sacrificing time or compliance.

Left‑to‑Right Route

Follow the dotted line across our six-step workflow. Numbered medallions mirror a freight manifest so you always know where your load stands.

01

Discovery

We learn your lanes, equipment, RPM targets, and compliance posture. You set the rules; we build the playbook.

  • Carrier profile and risk tolerance
  • RPM and dwell limits by market
  • Docs and factor verification
02

Setup

We complete carrier packets, share COI/W‑9, and align with factoring. Your dispatcher dashboard goes live.

  • Broker/shipper onboarding
  • Safety/regulatory checks
  • Check-call preferences set
03

Sourcing

We prospect daily across private broker lists and boards, filtering by mileage, live/drop, appointment fit, and accessorials.

  • Lead generation with lane fit
  • Shortlisted loads by RPM
  • Hold list for backups
04

Negotiation

We negotiate rates, detention, layover, and TONU—anchored to market data and your RPM floor.

  • Counter tactics and walk-away
  • Accessorials pre-approved
  • Appointment feasibility check
05

Dispatch

We lock the load, confirm the rate con, plan fuel and route, and orchestrate check calls through pickup and delivery.

  • Rate con verification
  • Route and fuel planning
  • Live updates to broker
06

Support

Post-delivery, we capture docs, invoice, and debrief to improve your next week’s revenue and RPM.

  • POD/billing packet sent
  • Scorecard and trends
  • Next-load prebooking
