Truck dispatch service that plans every load around your clock

We find the freight, negotiate every rate, handle the broker calls, check calls and paperwork. The rate confirmation comes straight to you, and you say yes or no before anything is booked. Try it on the example week below: confirm a load and watch it land on your planner, or decline it and see the next one roll in.

NO SETUP FEE. NO CONTRACT. CANCEL WITH 30 DAYS NOTICE.

BOARD 02HOW WE PLAN AROUND YOUR HOURS

How a dispatch service plans around your hours

Most truck dispatching services talk about maximizing miles. We plan legal miles, because a load you can't deliver inside your 11 and your 14 isn't a load, it's a violation waiting at a weigh station. Here is the whole system, in the order it happens:

  1. 1We learn your clockstart time, cycle, home time
  2. 2Rate con to your phonelane, miles, rate, pickup
  3. 3You confirm or declinea no costs nothing
  4. 4We re-plan on the flywhile you drive
  1. 01

    We learn your clock

    On the setup call a dispatcher writes down your usual start time, how you run your 70, and when you need to be home. Out two weeks and home three days, home every weekend, local every night. Whatever it is, that pattern becomes the frame every load has to fit.

  2. 02

    We book inside it

    Pickups and deliveries get matched to the hours you actually have left, with the 30-minute break and the 10-hour reset already on the plan. You get the rate con, you look at the numbers, you confirm or you pass. A pass costs you nothing and we go find the next one.

  3. 03

    We re-plan when the day slips

    A shipper runs late, a dock jams up, weather sits on I-80. Your dispatcher re-works the rest of the week while you drive, instead of you doing load board math on a fuel island at 21:00.

  4. And the line we put in writing: we will never ask you to run past your hours, edit a log, or stretch personal conveyance to cover a dispatch mistake. If a load doesn't fit your clock, it doesn't get offered to you.
DISPATCH DESK · 02:10

What lands on our desk instead of yours

  • Load sourcing on the major boards plus direct broker and shipper contacts
  • Rate negotiation on every single load, with lane data to back the counter
  • Broker calls, check calls and delivery confirmations
  • Carrier packet setup with every broker we book
  • Deadhead planning so the truck comes back loaded, not light
  • Detention and layover claims filed per the rate con
  • A weekly earnings report that adds up without a calculator

The full walkthrough is on how our dispatch process works.

BOARD 03EQUIPMENT WE DISPATCH

Dispatch services for trucking companies of every type

One desk, eleven equipment types, all dispatched with the same care. Every tile below is its own page with the freight, the rates and the hours math for that truck. One hard line: we start at 26 ft box trucks. No cargo vans, no sprinters.

BOARD 03THE RULES WE PLAN BY

The five limits every plan is built on

You don't need a dispatcher to recite Part 395 at you, but you should know the frame we plan inside, because it's the same one a roadside inspector uses. Every number below comes from 49 CFR 395 and is checked against the current text; the date is on each card.

11hr

11-hour driving limit

On shift, this is the fuel gauge. We book legs that fit what's left in it, not what a map app says is possible.

49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(i) · checked 2026-10-05

14hr

14-hour window

The window keeps running through dock time and lunch. This is why we fight for early appointments: a 06:00 pickup buys you the whole day.

49 CFR 395.3(a)(2) · checked 2026-10-05

30min

30-minute break

We place it where it costs nothing, usually at a fuel stop or a dock you'd be sitting at anyway.

49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(ii) · checked 2026-10-05

70hr

60/70-hour limit

Your week's budget. We watch your recap daily so Thursday never surprises you.

49 CFR 395.3(b) · checked 2026-10-05

34hr

34-hour restart

Planned right, your restart lands at home on the weekend instead of at a truck stop on a Tuesday.

49 CFR 395.3(c) · checked 2026-10-05

Two FMCSA pilot programs are running in 2026 (a flexible sleeper split and a pause option for the 14-hour window) for a small group of enrolled drivers. Unless you're in one, the numbers above are your numbers, and they're the ones we plan with.

BOARD 04THE HOURS MATH

Load boards work. They just bill you in hours.

Plenty of owner-operators self-dispatch, and the good ones are sharp at it. The cost isn't the load board subscription, it's the time: refreshing search results between dock doors, calling on loads that posted 40 minutes ago and are already gone, negotiating against a broker who does this 200 times a week while you're doing it from a parking lot with 6% battery.

Call it 2 to 3 hours a day. That time comes out of the same 14-hour window your driving comes out of, which is the quiet reason self-dispatched trucks so often run evenings and grab the first decent-looking rate instead of the right one. A dispatcher moves that work off your clock entirely. You drive the 11 you have; somebody whose whole job is the phone covers the board, the calls and the counteroffers.

The honest comparison, keyword by keyword, is on our load boards vs dispatch page. Short version: if you enjoy the hunt and have the hours, keep self-dispatching. If your window is the bottleneck, a dispatch service pays for itself in recovered time before it pays for itself in rate. Load boards vs dispatch

WHERE THE 14-HOUR WINDOW GOESEXAMPLE

  • Boards & broker calls
  • Break
Illustrative split of one 14-hour duty window (49 CFR 395.3(a)(2)). Driving still capped at 11 hours.

What a week with our dispatch desk looks like

We won't show you invented testimonials or a wall of five-star logos. Here is something more useful: the actual shape of a dispatched week, the way it lands in your Friday earnings report.

  • Monday through Friday, 5 confirmed loads, each one sent to you as a rate con before booking
  • Every leg planned inside your 11-hour driving and 14-hour duty limits, 30-minute breaks on the plan
  • Deadhead held down by booking the return before the outbound delivers
  • One line per load: lane, miles, rate, fee, your number
  • Detention entries with timestamps where a dock ran long

That report is the whole scoreboard. If the numbers stop beating what you'd do alone on the boards, you cancel with 30 days notice and we shake hands. That is the deal, and it only works for us if the plan works for you first.

One fee, taken off the top, shown before you confirm

Plenty of dispatch companies charge 8 to 12 percent and call it full service. Our standard rate is 5% of gross for one truck with authority older than 6 months. A new MC pays 7% while we do the heavier lifting of building your broker history, and fleets of 2 or more trucks pay 4% on a limited-time rate. Drag the slider to see the math on your numbers, then check the pricing page for every detail.

The fee is only charged on loads you haul. No loads, no fee, no minimums.

BOARD 06DETENTION, HONESTLY

What a dispatcher can and cannot do about detention

Straight answer, because this is where dispatch services oversell. We cannot make a shipper load you faster. Nobody can, and anyone who promises otherwise has never sat at a dock watching a 14-hour window burn.

What we can do: put the detention terms from the rate con on file before you arrive, start the clock with the broker the minute you hit the dock, file the claim with timestamps and your ELD record as backup, and re-plan the rest of your day around the delay so one slow shipper doesn't wreck three loads. On an EXAMPLE 2-hour delay at $50 per hour after the free window, that's $100 recovered and a delivery window moved before it became a service failure.

Brokers pay in 30 to 45 days. Fuel cards want money every week. Factoring closes that gap: you deliver, send the paperwork, and get most of the invoice in about a day. We refer carriers to our factoring partner RTS and may be paid for referrals; your rate comes from them, and our dispatch desk works with whoever factors your freight. How freight factoring works
