We've structured our pricing to reflect the actual work required to dispatch different equipment types. Larger, more standardized freight is simpler to source and book; smaller and specialized equipment requires more dispatcher time per dollar earned.
Per load booked
For standard tractor-trailer operations:
Well below the industry standard of 5-10% + $100-$500 minimum weekly.
Per load booked
For specialized and smaller equipment:
Still below the 10-15% charged by most specialized hotshot dispatchers.
No matter which tier you fall into, you get the same straightforward terms.
A simple $100 weekly minimum ensures every carrier receives dedicated dispatch support, broker communication, and account management throughout the week.
Onboarding is completely free — from discovery call to your first load.
Pause or cancel with one day's written notice. No early-termination penalties.
Many dispatchers nickel-and-dime carriers with extra fees. We don't. The following are always included in your per-load rate:
Dispatching is much more than finding loads.
Every carrier receives broker setup assistance, credit checks, paperwork management, rate negotiations, factoring coordination, detention claim support, after-hours assistance, and ongoing communication throughout the week.
Our $100 weekly minimum allows us to provide the same level of professional service whether you run one load or ten.
Unlike many dispatch companies that require $250-$500 weekly minimums or long-term contracts, we've intentionally kept our minimum affordable while maintaining competitive dispatch percentages.
For most active carriers, the percentage-based dispatch fee exceeds the minimum, meaning the minimum rarely affects their invoice. It's simply there to ensure every client receives dedicated support and priority service.

We believe in honest pricing that reflects honest work. Here's why our two tiers exist:
A single $2,500 load on a 53-foot dry van takes roughly the same dispatcher effort as a $2,500 load on any other semi. With strong broker networks and large lane availability on DAT and 123Loadboard, we can keep semi operators consistently loaded efficiently.
Hotshots and box trucks typically book $400-$1,500 per load. To earn the same dollar amount, we book more loads, talk to more brokers, and manage more complex schedules. We also work in narrower lane markets where broker relationships matter more than load board volume.
If we charged everyone 6%, hotshot operators would get less attention because the dollar math wouldn't support it. If we charged everyone 8%, semi operators would be overpaying for work that doesn't require it. Tiered pricing means both groups get the dispatcher time and energy their business deserves.
Each load is billed at the rate that matches the equipment used. So if your driver hauls a load with a semi, it's 6%. If the same driver hauls a hotshot load on a different day, that load is 8%. Simple and fair.
Never. Your weekly invoice reflects either your percentage-based dispatch fee or the $100 weekly minimum, whichever is greater. There are no setup fees, onboarding fees, paperwork fees, after-hours fees, rush charges, or cancellation penalties.
If your percentage-based dispatch fees total less than $100 during the billing week, the $100 minimum applies. If your percentage fees exceed $100, you simply pay the percentage amount. No additional charges are added.
If a load cancels before pickup (TONU or carrier-side cancellation), we don't charge our dispatch fee. We only earn when you earn.
Hotshot generally means non-CDL freight delivery using a pickup truck with a gooseneck or bumper-pull trailer (typically 30-40 feet). Box trucks include any non-CDL straight-truck with an enclosed cargo body. If you're unsure where your equipment falls, we'll clarify during your discovery call — no surprises after you sign on.
No. Your rate is locked in your Service Agreement. If you add new equipment in a different tier later, we'll discuss it and update the agreement together. We never raise rates without your written consent.
