The maths
Dispatchers are usually paid 5% to 10% of the carrier's gross. The arithmetic for a truck grossing $4,000 a week at a 6% fee:
| Trucks you dispatch | Fee income a month |
|---|---|
| 1 truck | $1,040 |
| 2 trucks | $2,080 |
| 3 trucks | $3,120 |
Arithmetic, not a forecast. You earn a fee only on loads you book for carriers who have signed with you, and you still pay your own costs. Try the calculator.
Quick answers
On your own, expect a US state LLC fee (roughly $40 to $500), a domain and professional email (about $100 a year), a virtual phone number and, if you use your own, a load board ($50 to $150 a month). Our setup packages cost $667 to $2,000 as one payment, and the state fee is paid by you.
Federal law does not force an LLC, but most dispatchers form one to separate personal liability, and carriers expect a business name on the agreement. An EIN is free from the IRS and goes on your W-9 and business bank account. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
A dispatcher who acts as the carrier's agent and is paid a fee by the carrier is different from a freight broker. A broker arranges transportation as an intermediary and needs FMCSA broker authority and a $75,000 bond or trust. Confirm your own setup with a transportation attorney.
Yes for the formation steps: a non-US resident can own a US LLC and obtain an EIN. You will still need to work US freight hours with carriers and brokers.
Message us your plan and we will tell you which one makes sense. Lesson 1 of the dispatcher course is free to read first.
Truck dispatching for owner-operators and small fleets running under their own authority. We negotiate your loads, handle the broker paperwork and keep your truck moving — you approve every single load before it books.
Trucking runs on skills people can learn: dispatching, brokerage, compliance, paperwork, running a truck like a business. Seven courses in plain English, one lesson at a time, at your own pace. The first lesson of every course is free.
The first step is small. Taking it is the hard part.
Broker desks open and close on local time. Our dispatch desk runs 10am–12am Central, every day, so it overlaps the broker day in every zone you haul through and covers the West Coast day end to end.
The timeline runs on Eastern time. Broker hours shown are typical (Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm local); individual brokers vary. Need a different hour? Ask us.
The problem
Most owner-operators lose 10–15 hours a week refreshing DAT, arguing with brokers over $50, chasing rate cons and re-planning after a shipper cancels. That is a second full-time job on top of driving eleven hours.
We fix all three
Simple process
MC number, equipment type, preferred lanes and your rate floor. 10 minutes.
One page. No exclusivity, no minimums. You can leave any Friday.
We search, negotiate and bring you loads that meet your rate floor.
You say yes or no to every load. We handle everything after that.
Equipment we dispatch
Every equipment type has its own broker list, its own seasonality and its own way of getting you burned. We price and staff each one differently.
The deepest freight pool and the tightest margins. Won on volume, planning and refusing cheap freight.
Higher rates, harder work. Temperature discipline, produce season timing and claim exposure.
Best rates on the board, most coordination per load. Securement, permits, tarping pay.
Expedited and partial loads on a gooseneck. Fast, competitive, and easy to run unprofitably.
Straight truck and expedite freight. Non-CDL friendly, liftgate work, tight urban delivery.
Drop trailer programs and dedicated pools. Less waiting, steadier weeks, thinner rates.
Priced separately
Beyond dispatch
Authority filing, compliance and the rest of what a small carrier has to buy. Priced separately so you take only what you need.
How the money works
Our fee only makes sense if the freight we book beats the freight you'd book yourself. Here's the arithmetic we ask every carrier to run before signing up.

Carrier reviews
They got me $2.94/mile on a dry van lane I was running for $2.50 myself. The math works. Setup was done the same day I called.
No forced dispatch is the real deal. I declined two loads last month and nobody said a word. That's how it should be — my truck, my call.
Got my MC in 3 weeks and was running loads week 4. They handled every piece of paperwork and I just showed up to the first pickup.
Compliance
FMCSA's 2023 final guidance draws a line between a broker, who arranges freight and must hold operating authority and a $75,000 surety bond, and a bona fide agent, who works under a written agreement as part of a carrier's own operation.
We operate as your agent. You hold the authority, the insurance and the customer relationship. Broker money is paid directly to you or to your factoring company — it never passes through us. You approve every load, and you can decline any load without penalty. Our written dispatch agreement spells all of this out before your first load.
Answers
Across the US market, dispatch services typically charge between 5% and 10% of gross linehaul revenue, with 6% to 8% being the most common range, or a flat weekly fee that usually runs $250 to $650 per truck. Rates vary by equipment type: dry van sits at the lower end because the coordination is simpler, while flatbed and specialised equipment sit at the top. We charge 6% to 8% depending on equipment, or $300 to $400 per week flat.
It depends on how the dispatch service operates. FMCSA's June 2023 final guidance distinguishes a broker, who arranges freight and must hold operating authority and a $75,000 surety bond, from a bona fide agent, who works under a written agreement as part of a motor carrier's own operation. We operate as your agent, under a written agreement, with you retaining final say on every load and all funds paid directly to you.
Forced dispatch is when a dispatcher books a load without your approval and expects you to run it. You hold the operating authority and carry the liability for the load, so the decision on whether to accept a load should be yours. We do not use forced dispatch, and it is written out of our agreement. If a dispatch service won't put that in writing, that tells you something.
Yes. A dispatch service works on behalf of a motor carrier, so you need active operating authority, a DOT number and the correct insurance filings. If you don't have authority yet, we file it for you — authority setup is $649 plus government fees at cost.
Percentage works better when your weekly gross is variable or lower, because you pay nothing in a week you don't run and the dispatcher's incentive is tied to your rate per mile. Flat rate works better once you're grossing consistently — on our 6% dry van rate, flat becomes cheaper above about $5,000 of weekly linehaul. Ask any dispatcher to show you the break-even for your actual numbers.
