Independent Dispatch Services
Independent dispatch services for owner-operators can help owner operators save time and money when looking for loads. Our dispatchers know routes, trends and availability. What makes us different is the time that we spent on the road ourselves. We don't book loads just to cover trucks, we pay attention to appointments, weight, routes, empty miles, traffic conditions, etc. We are completely transparent in the way we do business because we are here for the long term.
Our independent dispatch services for owner operators will not cost you an arm and a leg and you will be treated with respect. While it is possible to dispatch yourself on the road, a lot more goes into running a trucking operation. We take care of your quarterly IFTA filings, help you set up eLogs, work hard on getting you the best prices for every load, help you with accounting (if you request), and much more.
