Dispatch Services

Dispatch built around what you drive.

Every truck runs different freight, different lanes, and a different rate floor. Pick your equipment below — your dispatcher builds your lane profile around it from day one. Flat fee, no forced dispatch, on every plan.

For New Owner-Operators

Just got your MC number?

New Authority Dispatch Setup gets you booked while your authority is still activating with brokers. We know which lanes and load boards open up first for new MC numbers — most new carriers get their first rate confirmation within a week.

Every Plan Runs Through

Owner-Operator Dispatch

See the full owner-operator plan →

Whichever equipment you run, you're dispatched as an owner-operator first: one dedicated dispatcher, a rate floor you set, and full visibility into every load before you commit. Equipment pages above cover the freight-specific details — this is the baseline every carrier gets.

What's Included

Same baseline, every equipment type.

No tiered plans, no add-on fees for basics. This is what "flat fee" actually includes.

Daily load sourcing

Load boards and direct broker relationships worked every business day.

Rate negotiation

Every rate is negotiated before it reaches you — never take the first offer.

Rate confirmations

Reviewed and handled for every load, no signing blind.

Check calls & tracking

Your dispatcher tracks pickup to delivery so you're not fielding broker calls.

Invoicing support

Paperwork packaged and submitted, factoring-ready if you factor.

Lane & rate profile

Built around your home base, home time, and minimum rate per mile.
