Truck dispatch service where you approve every load

Our truck dispatch service finds the freight, checks the broker's records and negotiates the rate. Then the load comes to you. You confirm or say no, and the rate confirmation goes straight from the broker to you.

Link 02You hold the pen

A dispatcher who works your side of the deal, and only your side

The two complaints we hear most about dispatchers are that they push loads and that they're brokers in disguise. Both come down to who holds the pen. We built the desk around a simple rule: the person whose name is on the authority makes the call. Our job is to bring you better choices faster, with the paperwork already read. With us, three things never leave your hands.

The yes. Every load is an offer you can turn down. No quota, no penalty, no guilt trip.
The signature. The broker sends the rate con to you, in your company name. You sign it. We never do.
The money. The broker pays you or your factor directly. We bill our percentage separately, once a week.

For the record: a freight broker needs FMCSA broker authority and financial security on file, $75,000 surety bond (Form BMC-84) or trust fund (Form BMC-85) . We hold neither, because we don't broker freight. We dispatch for carriers. How a dispatcher differs from a broker.

Carrier

Hauls the load under its own MC and signs the rate confirmation.

Paid by the broker (or through a factor) at the carrier rate.

Link 03Every broker checked

Every broker gets checked before the offer reaches your phone

Fake loads, double brokering and stolen MC numbers mostly target carriers who book fast and check later. Our desk checks first. It takes minutes, and it happens on every load, including the hot ones.

What the records can't tell you

A clean FMCSA record shows a broker is registered and bonded. It doesn't show how fast they pay, whether the person on the phone really works there, or what's buried in the rate con. So we close those gaps by hand:

We call back on the number listed on the broker's own website, never the one in the email signature.
We match the email domain to the broker. Free mail accounts and lookalike spellings end the call.
We read detention, TONU, fines and payment terms before you see the offer, and ask for fixes in writing.

Want to run the same checks yourself? Our 10-minute broker vetting checklist walks through each step, and the DOT and MC number lookup pulls the public record.

Red flags that end the call

Some offers never reach you because one of these showed up first:

A rate far above the lane with pressure to commit in the next five minutes.
A request to skip the setup packet or send it to a personal email address.
A broker who won't put detention, TONU or payment terms on the rate con.
Pickup details that change after the rate is agreed, or a second company name on the paperwork.
An MC number whose record lists a different phone number or address than the caller gave.

None of these prove fraud on their own. Together they're enough for us to pass and keep looking.

Link 04The fee

One fee schedule for every truck, and it drops on its own

You pay a percentage of the gross rate on the rate confirmation: 7% while your MC is younger than 6 months, 5% for a single truck after that, and 4% per truck once you run two or more. When your authority turns 6 months old, the rate steps down the same week without you asking. Lumper reimbursements aren't part of the fee, and a week without a delivered load costs you nothing.

Percentage or flat weekly fee?

Some dispatchers charge a flat amount per week whether the truck moves or not. That can look cheaper on a strong week and costs you on a slow one, because the bill arrives either way. A percentage ties our pay to your loads: when you earn more, we earn more, and when the truck sits, we earn nothing. That's the reason we chose it. If you're weighing a flat-fee offer, run both numbers on your own average week before you decide. The math usually settles it in a minute.

Link 05Every truck we dispatch

Truck dispatching services for eleven kinds of equipment

No favorite trailer here. Each type has its own brokers, terms and traps, and each gets the same desk, the same checks and the same fee schedule. A flatbed rate con needs tarp pay in writing, a reefer rate con needs the temperature on it, and a power only load needs a trailer interchange agreement. We know which questions to ask for each. Box trucks start at 26 feet. We don't dispatch cargo vans, sprinters or shorter boxes.

Built around how you run

One truck and tired of the phone? See dispatch for owner-operators. Fresh authority and brokers keep saying call back later? Start with new authority dispatch. Running two to ten trucks? Our dispatch services for trucking companies with small fleets keep every broker relationship in one place.

Who we're not a fit for

If you want someone to book anything that moves and never ask, we're the wrong desk; every load needs your yes. If you run a cargo van or a box shorter than 26 feet, we can't help. And if you're a shipper looking to move freight, you need a broker, not us. We only work for carriers.

What do you run?

About 2 minutes. No setup fee. You approve every load.

Link 06What the desk does all week

A dispatch service for truckers that keeps working after the load is booked

Finding a load is maybe a third of the job. Here's what a normal week on our desk looks like for one truck. EXAMPLE

Monday
We plan the week around your lanes and home time, search the boards and our broker contacts, and counter every offer that comes in under your floor.
Tuesday
Carrier packets go out only to brokers we've checked. Offers come to you with the terms spelled out, and you confirm or pass.
Wednesday
Check calls and delivery updates go to the broker so they stop calling you. If the receiver holds you, we time it and file the detention request.
Thursday
We line up the reload before you're empty, so deadhead is planned, not discovered. Layover and TONU requests go in with your timestamps.
Friday
Invoices and PODs get matched to each load. We remind brokers who are late on payment, politely and in writing.
Weekend
The desk stays reachable nights and weekends. A cancelled Monday load gets replaced on Sunday, not Monday at noon.
Every week
You get a report with each load, its rate, deadhead, our fee and any open detention or payment follow-ups.
Your part
Drive safe, send the BOL and POD photos, and answer offers with a yes or a no. That's the deal.

The full process, from the first call to your first payment, is laid out on how we work.

What that looked like lately

A few loads from our desk in the past weeks, straight from the log with driver and broker names removed. Long hauls and short regional runs, each one confirmed by the carrier first. Rates depend on lane, season and timing, so treat these as real examples, not a quote for your truck.

1. One phone call

We learn your truck, lanes, home time, the lowest rate you'll haul for and the brokers you already like or refuse to work with.

2. One clean packet

You send your MC letter, W-9, insurance certificate and notice of assignment if you factor. We build the packet once and reuse it.

3. Your first offer

The first load lands on your phone with the terms written out. Confirm it, and the rate con arrives from the broker for you to sign.

Waiting 30 days on a broker? Factoring can close the gap

A factoring company pays your invoice within days and collects from the broker for a fee, and many check a broker's credit before you book. It's optional, and dispatch works the same either way. We refer carriers to RTS Financial and may be paid for the referral; it doesn't change your price.

Before you sign with any factor, read the agreement the way you'd read a rate con: the fee, the reserve, what happens if a broker never pays, and how you get out. Compare it with the broker's own quick pay offer, which is sometimes cheaper on a single invoice.

How factoring works with dispatch

Link 09Questions

Truck dispatch services: straight answers

How much does your truck dispatch service cost?

It's a percentage of the gross rate on each rate confirmation: 7% while your MC is under 6 months old, 5% for one truck after that, and 4% per truck with two or more. The rate is the same for every truck type. No setup fee, no minimums, and no fee in a week you don't haul.

Do I have to take every load you find?

No. Every load reaches you as an offer with the lane, rate, pickup time and broker terms. You confirm it or you say no, and saying no costs you nothing. We'd rather send you three offers you can turn down than book one you didn't want. Tell us your floor rate and lanes once and we filter for them.

Who signs the rate confirmation?

You do. Once you confirm a load, the broker sends the rate confirmation straight to you, made out to your company, and you sign it yourself. We read the terms before the offer reaches you and push back on missing detention or TONU language, but we never sign anything on your behalf.

Are you a freight broker?

No. A broker works for the shipper, needs FMCSA broker authority and keeps a bond or trust on file. We work for the carrier and hold none of that because we never take shipper freight, set shipper rates or touch freight payments. Our only income from dispatch is the percentage you pay us.

How do you check a broker before booking?

We look up the broker's public FMCSA record for active authority and bond or trust on file, call back on the phone number from the broker's own website, check that the email domain matches, and read the rate con terms. Records can't show payment habits, so we also use published terms and our own history with that broker.

Does the broker pay you or me?

The broker pays you, or your factoring company if you factor. Freight money never passes through us. We send you a separate invoice each week for our percentage on the loads you delivered, with a report showing every load, its rate and our fee, so the math is easy to check.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

No setup fee and no long contract. Dispatch runs month-to-month, and you can stop with 30 days notice. We put the terms in writing before your first load: the fee basis, what's included and how to cancel. If something in it doesn't sit right, ask before you sign.

What trucks do you dispatch?

All eleven types we list get the same attention and the same fee tiers: dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only, hotshot, car hauler, dump truck, oversize, hazmat and tanker, and box trucks 26 feet and longer. We don't dispatch cargo vans, sprinters or shorter box trucks.

Send the application. Say no to anything you don't like.

About 2 minutes. A dispatcher calls you back. No setup fee, no contract, and every load stays your call.
