Optimize your freight revenue and reduce unpaid administrative time with professional dry van dispatching. We source commercial loads across major freight platforms such as DAT and Truckstop, negotiate spot rates directly with licensed freight brokers, verify broker credit, and manage RateConfirmations and billing paperwork under an operational policy where you retain final load decision authority.
From spot market negotiation to final factoring submission, we manage administrative logistics so you can focus on driving safely.
Our dispatchers monitor spot market trends and 7-day lane rate averages on commercial freight boards such as DAT and Truckstop. We negotiate directly with freight brokers to secure rates reflecting current market demand and fuel surcharges.
Before booking dry van freight, we check broker credit ratings, days-to-pay track records, and factoring eligibility through factoring databases to support consistent and timely payment.
We coordinate carrier onboarding setup, submit required documents (W-9, COI), and examine Rate Confirmation clauses to clarify pickup/delivery schedules, accessorial terms, and special load instructions.
Unplanned empty miles reduce overall revenue per mile. We coordinate outbound and backhaul trips together, evaluating regional freight volume to minimize deadhead miles between dry van loads.
When distribution centers delay equipment past standard 2-hour free time, your dispatcher promptly documents timestamps on the BOL, notifies the broker, and requests an updated Rate Confirmation with applicable accessorial compensation as permitted under the broker agreement.
Upon trip completion and receipt of your signed Bill of Lading (BOL/POD), we compile and transmit invoice packets directly to your factoring provider or broker QuickPay desk for settlement processing.

Direct, factual answers to common operational questions regarding our dry van dispatch services.
Dry van dispatching is an independent freight coordination service where a professional dispatcher represents motor carriers operating 53-foot enclosed dry van trailers. The dispatcher searches commercial load boards such as DAT and Truckstop, negotiates spot market freight rates directly with licensed brokers, vets broker credit, processes Rate Confirmations, and submits delivery paperwork for factoring settlement under an operational agreement where the carrier retains final authority to accept or decline every load.
Dry van dispatch services are used by independent owner-operators and small motor carrier fleets running under their own FMCSA operating authority with 53ft dry van trailers. Carriers partner with dispatchers to handle time-consuming tasks like load searching, phone negotiations with brokers, carrier packet setup, and invoicing while they remain focused on driving.
A dry van dispatcher manages daily load sourcing on commercial freight boards such as DAT and Truckstop, communicates directly with freight brokers to negotiate rates, checks broker credit ratings, executes carrier setup packets, reviews Rate Confirmations, assists with check calls, and submits signed Bills of Lading (BOL) to the carrier's factoring company or broker payment desk.
Dry van loads are found using commercial freight load boards such as DAT and Truckstop, along with direct broker relationships. Dispatchers filter listings by trailer type, cargo weight, origin, destination, and rate per mile, evaluating regional outbound-to-inbound freight ratios to position equipment in favorable freight markets.
Dispatchers negotiate rates by referencing recent 7-day and 15-day lane rate averages, considering factors such as current fuel prices, cargo weight, pickup/delivery appointment flexibility, and destination market demand. They negotiate directly with brokers to secure fair compensation and accessorial coverage before presenting the load to the carrier for approval.
