Sourcing & booking
We work the load boards and our broker relationships, then bring you freight that suits your equipment and the direction you want to head.
What we handle
The desk work, so you can keep the wheels turning.
Four things, on every load. None of them require you to sign your operating authority over to anybody.
Rate negotiation
We handle the back-and-forth with the broker, so you are not negotiating from the cab of a truck at a fuel stop.
Broker paperwork
Carrier packets, setup packets, and the documentation brokers require before they will tender a load to you.
Rate confirmations
The rate con reaches your phone with the pickup, the delivery, and the agreed number on it. Nothing to sort out at the dock.
On the road with you
The parts of the job that happen between pickup and delivery, so you are not making calls on a fourteen hour clock.

Equipment
What we dispatch.
If your trailer is on this list, we can work it. If it is not, call anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can source for it.
Dry van53' and 48'. The widest freight pool and the easiest to keep moving.
ReeferTemperature controlled, produce and protein lanes included.
Flatbed48' and 53'. Steel, building materials, machinery.
Step deckTaller loads that will not clear on a standard flat.
ConestogaRolling tarp freight, without the tarping time.
Car haulerOpen and enclosed. Priced on its own schedule.
Power onlyPulling drop trailers for shippers and brokers.
Mixed fleetMore than one trailer type worked from one desk.
Who we dispatch for
One truck or fifteen, the desk works the same way.
You are the driver and the business
You do not have time to work the boards from a fuel stop and drive legal hours. We take the sourcing, the negotiating and the paperwork off you and leave you the decision on every load.
Two to fifteen trucks
Your rate drops as trucks are added, and every truck is planned against the others so you are not deadheading two units into the same market on the same day.
Freshly granted MC
The hardest six months in trucking. Most brokers want time in business you do not have yet, so we work the ones that will set you up, and we do not charge you extra for being new.
How it works
Three steps, and the first one takes two minutes.
You reach out
Call, text, or leave your details below. If you use the form, an assistant named Sam may call you first to take down your equipment and lanes. Sam is an AI and says so at the start of the call. It exists only to set up the conversation, not to sell you anything.
You speak with a dispatcher
A member of our dispatch team, on the phone. You go through your equipment, the lanes you want to run, and which bracket on our rate table you land in. The number is already published on this page, so there is nothing to be talked into and nothing that changes later.
We start working your truck
We begin sourcing against the lanes you chose and bring you loads as they come up. You approve every load before it is booked. Nothing moves without your say-so.

Straight talk
Who this is built for.
We would rather say this on a web page than waste a phone call for either of us.
A good fit
- ✓Running under your own operating authority
- ✓One to fifteen trucks
- ✓Reefer, dry van, or flatbed
- ✓Finding your own freight on the boards and tired of the hours it eats
- ✓Newly granted authority, starting from a standing stop
Probably not
- ×Leased on to another carrier. They are already covering this for you
- ×A larger fleet with in-house dispatch already running well
- ×Looking for a guaranteed load count or income figure. No dispatcher can honestly promise that, and we will not.
Where we stand
Your authority stays in your name.
We are a dispatch service, not a carrier and not a broker. We do not hold your operating authority, we never run loads under our own number, and we are not a party to your broker contracts. Every load is booked under your MC, and the rate confirmation comes to you.
Owner-operators get cold-called by plenty of outfits that are not real, so check anyone before you commit, us included. Every broker we put in front of you can be looked up in the FMCSA's public SAFER database before you accept the load, and we will wait while you do it.

Questions
The things drivers ask us first.
Does a dispatcher take over my operating authority?
No. We are a dispatch service, not a carrier and not a broker. Every load is booked under your own MC, the rate confirmation is issued to you, and you are the party to the broker contract. Your authority never leaves your name.
What does it cost?
4.5% of the linehaul for a single truck, dropping as you add trucks. The full table is on this page. There is no setup fee, no monthly minimum, and no surcharge for having new authority.
Do I pay anything up front?
No. We invoice weekly, after the fact, on loads that were booked and delivered. If we do not book you a load, you do not get an invoice. Any dispatcher asking a new carrier for money before a single load moves is worth walking away from.
Can my rate go up later?
Not while the agreement stands. The percentage agreed on your first call is held for the life of the dispatch agreement. If your fleet grows into a lower bracket, the rate moves down, not up.
Do I have to accept every load you find?
No. Nothing is booked until you approve it. You see the broker, the lane, the weight and the number before you say yes, and turning a load down costs you nothing.
Am I locked into a contract?
No long-term commitment and no cancellation penalty. The dispatch agreement can be ended with written notice. We would rather keep your truck because the loads are good than because you are trapped.
My authority is brand new. Will you still take me?
Yes, and at the same rate as everybody else. Most brokers want six to twelve months in business before they will set you up, which is exactly why a new carrier needs a desk working the ones that will. We do not add a surcharge for it.
Can I use a dispatcher if I am leased on to a carrier?
Usually not, and we will tell you so on the call rather than take your money. If you are leased on, that carrier is already sourcing your freight. Dispatch makes sense once you are running under your own authority.
How do I know you are not a scam?
Fair question, and you should ask it of everyone who calls you. We never ask for money before a load moves. We never ask for your authority. Every broker we bring you can be looked up on the FMCSA's public SAFER database before you accept, and we will wait on the line while you do it.
