If you're spending 3 hours a day on load boards and still leaving money on the table, that's a dispatch problem. We find the freight, make the broker calls, and handle the paperwork — so your job is driving, not chasing loads.
The Owner-Operator Advantage
Dispatching your own truck is a second job. Most solo operators spend 2–4 hours a day on it and still miss better loads because they weren't watching the board at the right moment. Here's what's different when we take it over.
That's the average time owner-operators spend on DAT and broker calls. We work the boards every day — you use that time to drive, rest, or run your business.
A solo carrier calling about one load gets a different conversation than a dispatcher calling on behalf of 40 carriers. We work 200+ brokers daily. Some of them owe us a favor. That's how you get $2.55/mile when the board shows $2.20.
We deal with the paperwork on every load. You confirm the load, we handle broker communication, rate confirmation, and check calls. Your job doesn't include broker management.
Dispatch costs 6%. If you're already running premium freight at strong rates and your lanes are dialed in, the math is tighter. We'll tell you that upfront rather than oversell what we do.

The Honest Version
Running one truck means every bad decision hits you directly. A week of below-market loads, three days of deadhead you didn't plan for, or 15 hours of broker calls that landed you two loads you could have gotten in two calls — that's money out of your pocket. ATBS data shows professionally dispatched owner-operators earn $18,000–$28,000 more per year than self-dispatched operators on comparable equipment. That gap comes from rate negotiation, market timing, and broker relationships — not magic.
Here's the honest version of when dispatch is worth it: you're spending 2–4 hours a day on load boards, you don't have deep broker relationships yet, and your rate per mile is probably $0.15–$0.30 below what an experienced dispatcher would get you on the same lanes. The 6% fee covers itself when that rate gap is real. If you already have strong broker relationships, know your lanes cold, and can work the board efficiently — dispatch might not move the needle enough to justify the cut.
New authorities have a separate issue: brokers won't call back. Carrier monitoring services like Carrier411 and RMIS flag new MC numbers, insurance takes 3–7 days to propagate, and many brokers auto-reject carriers under 60–90 days old. We have relationships with brokers who specifically work with new authorities and know the propagation timeline — so we can get new operators loaded when the phone calls aren't getting returned.
