Truck Types
Dispatch service for every truck we run
We dispatch dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only, and box truck owner-operators across all 48 states. Rate ranges below are current market averages as of August 2026 and are always lane dependent.
Dry Van Dispatch Service
Our dry van dispatch service keeps 48–53 ft trailers loaded on the high-volume lanes that run between major distribution markets. Dry van is the most common equipment on the road, so the freight is steady — but that also means the load boards are crowded, and the difference between an average week and a strong week comes down to who is working your lanes and how hard they push on price.
Typical dry van freight includes packaged consumer goods, clothing, furniture, electronics, paper products, and general palletized household goods, usually loading and unloading at docks with standard appointment windows. We watch appointment times, detention exposure, and reload options before we bring you an offer, so you are not booking a cheap outbound into a dead market.
As your truck dispatcher, we screen broker credit first, negotiate every load, and send you the original rate confirmation before anything is committed. Rates move weekly and are always market and lane dependent — we plan around where you want to end the week rather than chasing one number.

Reefer Dispatch Service
Reefer dispatch service covers temperature-controlled 48–53 ft trailers running protect-from-freeze and full refrigerated freight. Refrigerated demand does not disappear in a soft market — grocery, foodservice, and pharmaceutical supply chains keep moving every week of the year — which is why reefer generally holds a premium over comparable dry van lanes.
Common commodities include produce out of California, Florida, and the Rio Grande Valley, meat and poultry from the Midwest and Southeast, seafood, dairy, frozen goods, and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. This freight comes with real operating requirements: continuous versus cycle-sentry settings, pulp temperature checks at the dock, wash-outs between loads, and rejection risk if the reefer download does not match the rate con.
We dispatch reefer with those details in mind. We confirm temperature requirements and loading windows in writing, weigh reefer fuel burn and produce-season wait times into the rate we negotiate, and plan a realistic reload before you deadhead. Reefer rate ranges are seasonal and market dependent, and we quote what the lane is actually paying that week.

Flatbed Dispatch Service
Flatbed dispatch service is for open-deck carriers who get paid for skill as much as miles. Loading and securing steel, lumber, and machinery takes work that a van driver never touches, and our job is to make sure the rate reflects that instead of letting a broker price your load like general freight.
Flatbed freight typically means construction materials, steel coils and plate, lumber and building products, pipe, roofing, agricultural equipment, and logs. Weight limits matter more here than on most equipment — legal payload drops in northern and mountain lanes, and permits, tarping, and multi-stop loading all change what a load is really worth to you.
We ask about your securement setup — straps, chains, binders, tarps, coil racks — before we book, so you are never sent to a shipper without the right gear. We confirm tarp pay, load and unload responsibility, and any permit requirements on the rate confirmation up front. Flatbed rates swing with construction season and are market dependent, and we negotiate each load against what that specific lane is paying.

- 48–53 ft decks, up to ~48,000 lbs (lower in northern and mountain lanes)

Step Deck Dispatch Service
Step deck dispatch service covers drop-deck trailers hauling freight that sits too tall to run legally on a standard flatbed. The lower main deck buys you roughly two extra feet of clearance, and that clearance is exactly what makes a step deck the right truck for machinery and equipment that would otherwise need a permit.
Typical step deck freight includes tractors and farm equipment, excavators and construction machinery, industrial components, tanks, crated equipment, and building materials that can be loaded by crane or driven on with ramps. Loads often involve dunnage, blocking, and chain securement rather than simple strapping, and some move as legal-dimension freight that a careless dispatcher would quote as oversize.
We dispatch step deck by checking the exact dimensions and weight before we accept anything, confirming who loads and who secures, and pricing ramp, crane, or tarp work into the rate. Step deck rates generally track flatbed with a premium on specialized loads, and every quote we bring you is market dependent and specific to the lane you are running.

Power Only Dispatch Service
Power only dispatch service is built for owner-operators and fleet owners running a day cab or sleeper without their own trailer. You supply the tractor and the authority; we source drop-and-hook freight, trailer pools, and load-out work so your truck is earning without the cost of buying and maintaining trailers.
Power only work usually means pulling shipper- or broker-provided dry vans, reefers, step decks, or flatbeds on regional and long-haul runs, plus trailer relocations and tow-away moves between yards. It rewards drivers who can turn fast: most of these loads are pre-loaded, so your day is driving time instead of dock time — but you need someone confirming trailer condition, location, and release details before you roll.
We verify the trailer interchange agreement, the yard hours, and who is responsible for tires and damage before we book, and we watch for the trailer-pool programs that keep a truck moving all week rather than one-off cheap moves. Power only pricing is market dependent and depends heavily on how consistent the trailer supply is on your lanes.

Box Truck Dispatch Service
Box truck dispatch service supports 26–28 ft straight trucks running LTL, partial, and expedited freight. Straight trucks live in a different part of the market than tractor-trailers: shorter runs, tighter delivery windows, and shippers who need something smaller than a 53 ft van but faster than parcel freight.
Typical box truck freight includes palletized LTL, furniture and appliances, retail store replenishment, trade show and event equipment, household goods, and time-critical expedited runs. Liftgate capability, pallet jacks, and driver-assist unloading come up constantly on these loads, and the accessorial pay for that work is part of the rate — not a favor.
We dispatch box trucks by matching your deck length, weight capacity, and liftgate setup to loads that actually fit, confirming dock or residential delivery conditions in advance, and negotiating liftgate, inside delivery, and extra-stop pay before booking. To work with us, box trucks should be 26–28 ft and able to run all 48 states; rates are market dependent and quoted per lane.
