Should Owner-Operators Use a Truck Dispatch Service?

While it is entirely possible to self-dispatch, the services offered by us can help you run your business more effectively. For example, we can find loads for you rather than searching for suitable loads yourself. We also help owner-operators manage customer relationships as well as paperwork, billing, and collections while you’re on the road.

How Do We Get Loads?

Our dispatchers want to find the most relevant loads for their carriers. Therefore, we work to understand everything about your business, so they learn which kinds of loads are the best fit. Then, we will use load boards, freight brokers, or professional connections to find suitable, high-quality loads.

The load boards we use are frequently the same as an owner-operator may use themselves. However, their intimate knowledge of your business helps them find the best loads while saving you the time of finding them on your own.

Here are a few highlights of the benefits of working with a professional dispatcher like us:

1. Time – Finding the best loads, filling out load paperwork, broker packets, and requesting COIs take time. Not to mention the peak times for loads being posted, are times a driver should be on the road.

2. Money – Spot market freight means constantly negotiating freight rates. Someone that does this for 5 trucks compared to 1-2 will have a better understanding if the regional markets.

3. Relationships – Working with Shippers, Brokers, Receivers, and Lumpers can be extremely stressful. Having a 3rd party professional that is versed in difficult situations and negotiations will help a carrier keep a better rating with more brokers. A carrier can very quickly be marked DNU or have a freight guard posted if they say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Also, a dispatcher has more time to foster relationships with brokers than a carrier that is behind the wheel 10+ hours a day.

4. Troubleshooting – There are issues on the majority of loads, and having someone that is experienced in freight problems is paramount. What to look out for when hauling relays, Power Only freight, certain shippers requirements, certain broker requirements, and dealing with constantly changing appointments.

5. A good dispatcher is paid the most to be a sounding board and psychologist. Its lonely being out on the road, and having someone to talk too is a huge benefit. Someone that is invested in the success of their business and has experience helping many other companies be successful while providing a shoulder to cry on is huge for a start up.
