What to Expect from a Good Truck Dispatch Company

What to Expect from a Truck Dispatch Company

A reliable truck dispatch company can be the difference between running profitable lanes or sitting empty waiting for your next load. If you’re a carrier or owner-operator, it’s important to know what a legitimate dispatcher should provide — and what red flags to watch for.


Your Truck Dispatch Company Should Provide Real Market Data

Don’t settle for vague promises. A good truck dispatch company should show you real RPM trends based on your trailer type and region — not just post loads from public boards. At Freight Girlz, we use our custom Turbo Dispatcher™ TMS and Lane Logix™ to track rate performance daily.

We also monitor national rate averages through tools like DAT RateView and Truckstop, ensuring our carriers never accept loads blindly.

What a Real Truck Dispatch Company Does

A professional truck dispatch company offers more than booking loads. Your dispatcher should act as your back-office partner, handling:

  • ✅ Load booking with full rate transparency and approval
  • ✅ Broker negotiation (detention, layover, TONU, etc.)
  • ✅ Invoicing support and paperwork management
  • ✅ Check calls and schedule coordination
  • ✅ Accessorial recovery assistance

If your dispatcher isn’t handling the work brokers expect from carriers — you’re not being supported, you’re being shortchanged.

Red Flags in a Truck Dispatch Company

Unfortunately, the industry is flooded with undertrained or offshore dispatch services. Watch out for these signs of a bad experience:

  • ❌ They book loads without your approval or full rate cons
  • ❌ Poor communication or no after-hours support
  • ❌ No experience in detention or TONU recovery
  • ❌ No TMS, no SOPs, no visibility on broker selection
  • ❌ Can’t explain how loads were priced or sourced
