Recommends
My weekly gross went from about $6,800 to just over $9,000 in the first month. Same truck, same lanes, better freight and somebody negotiating every rate.

Try Us Free for 14 Days. No Contract, No Catch.
For your first 14 days we dispatch your truck for free: we find the loads, negotiate the rates and handle the paperwork. If we haven't beaten your weekly gross by day 14, you walk away with your broker setups and paperwork, no hard feelings. After that it's 10% per load, and you can stop any time.
Questions Carriers Ask
Do I have to take every load you find?
No. We call or text you with every load before we book it: the rate, the miles and the pickup window. Your truck, your call.
How much does dispatch cost?
Your first 14 days are free. After that it's 10% of each load's line haul, taken after the load delivers. No setup fees, no monthly fees and no contract.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. If it isn't working for you, tell us and we'll hand over your broker setups and paperwork the same day.
Do you work with new authorities?
Yes, and we like them. We set you up with brokers who take new MC numbers, and we're straight about what rates to expect in your first 90 days.
What equipment do you dispatch?
Semis (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only), 26-foot box trucks, and hot shots with a gooseneck or bumper-pull flatbed.
Where do you run?
Mostly the Texas Triangle and the South: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, out to New Mexico, Georgia and Florida. Tell us your home base and we'll plan your weeks around it.
How do I get paid?
Brokers pay you directly or through your factoring company. We send the invoices and paperwork, follow up on late payments, and you see every settlement in the Fr8Desk app.
What if I break down on the road?
Call us any hour. We find a shop near you, talk to the broker about the appointment and rework the load so you lose as little as possible.
What do I need to get started?
Your MC and DOT numbers, your certificate of insurance, a W-9 and a voided check (or your factoring letter). We collect it all through one secure link.
