Truck dispatch services for owner-operators who would rather drive than work a load board
One truck, one dedicated dispatcher who knows your name, your lanes, and your home time. You approve every rate. 5% of gross linehaul on semi equipment, 8% on hotshot and box truck, with no contract and no setup fee.
The five things that grind down a one-truck operation
These are the problems carriers describe on the first call, almost word for word.
You are booking loads at 11pm after eleven hours of driving
Your dispatcher works the boards while you drive and has the next load lined up before you deliver the current one.
You take the first rate offered because you are out of hours and out of patience
Every load is negotiated against market data by someone who is fresh, not exhausted, and who earns more when you do.
Paperwork eats your weekend
Carrier packets, rate confirmations, BOLs, PODs, and invoicing are handled for you. You send the POD, we do the rest.
Your factoring company keeps calling about missing documents
We submit invoices the same day and chase the paperwork so your money moves on schedule.
You are deadheading 200 miles because nothing came out of where you delivered
Lane-based pre-planning means we look at where a load leaves you before we book it, not after.
How we find loads, set rates, and run your back office
How we find your loads
Your dispatcher works the major load boards, the broker relationships we already hold, and the direct shipper accounts we have built, all against the lanes you told us you want to run. Pre-planning is the point: the next load is being worked while you are still under the current one, so you are not sitting at a receiver refreshing a board.
- DAT, Truckstop and broker-direct freight
- Lane and home-time preferences set at onboarding
- Reload planned before you deliver
How rates get negotiated
We do not take the posted number. Every load is checked against current market data for that lane and equipment, then negotiated with the broker. During onboarding you set a rate floor. We do not book below it, and we bring every rate to you before we accept it.
- Live market data on every lane
- Your rate floor, agreed up front
- Detention, TONU and layover negotiated in writing
What we handle so you don't have to
Carrier packets and broker setups, rate confirmations, bills of lading and proof of delivery, same-day invoicing, factoring coordination, and the compliance calendar: IFTA quarterly, Form 2290, UCR, insurance certificates. You drive. We chase documents.
- Broker setup and carrier packets
- Same-day invoicing with your factoring company
- IFTA, 2290 and UCR filed on time
What it costs
- 5% of gross linehaul on semi equipment: dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only, car hauler
- 8% on non-semi equipment: hotshot and box truck
- Charged on linehaul only. Never on fuel surcharge, detention or accessorials you earn yourself
- No setup fee. Month to month, 14 days written notice to cancel
- The same rate whether you run one truck or twenty

You can refuse any load
Nothing is booked without your approval on the rate, the lane, and the appointment times. Your rate floor is set with you at onboarding and we do not go below it. Turn down a load for any reason, with no explanation owed. The truck is yours.
This is the top concern carriers raise on the first call, so it is in the agreement in plain language, not buried in a clause.

Still getting your authority? Here is the full sequence.
Rolling in 24 hours, not 24 days
Onboarding is deliberately boring. Four steps, one phone call, and a short document list.
Onboarding call
A 15-minute call to map your equipment, home base, preferred lanes, and the rate floor you refuse to go below.
Paperwork setup
We collect your MC authority, W-9, certificate of insurance, and factoring notice, then set you up across our broker and shipper network.
First load booked
Most carriers are rolling within 24 hours. Nothing gets booked without your approval on the rate. Ever.
Keep rolling
Your dispatcher pre-plans the next load, files the paperwork, and invoices the broker while you are still on the road.
If it rolls, we can keep it loaded
Current national averages our dispatchers are booking against. Your actual rate depends on lane, season, and how far ahead we plan.
Indicative national ranges by equipment type, last reviewed September 2026. Not a quote.
Running something else? Tell us about your equipment and we will tell you honestly whether we can move it well.
Drivers who stopped hunting loads
Names and companies used with permission. Ask us for a reference in your lane and we will connect you.
Owner-operator questions
It depends on whether the dispatcher lifts your average rate by more than the fee costs. At 5% the break-even is about a 5.3% improvement in your rate per mile. Most single-truck carriers also reclaim the hours that went into load boards and paperwork, which has its own value. Our calculator lets you run the numbers on your own truck.
Yes. We dispatch for carriers running under their own operating authority. If you are still in the application process we will walk you through it and be ready the day your authority activates.
Yes. Many brokers will not load an authority under six months old, so we concentrate on the ones who will and build your record with them. Send us your MC number as soon as it activates.
No. You approve every rate, every lane, and every appointment time before anything is booked. We set a rate floor with you during onboarding and do not go below it. You can refuse any load for any reason.
Keep them. Our fee applies only to loads we book for you. Freight from your own direct shipper relationships is excluded, and that exclusion is written into the agreement.
Most owner-operators are dispatched on a first load within 24 to 48 hours of sending their MC authority letter, W-9, certificate of insurance, and factoring notice of assignment.
No fixed term. The agreement is month to month with 14 days written notice to cancel, and there is no setup fee.
