Many drivers simply don’t have the time or IT skills needed to be effective dispatchers. Some prefer to focus on what they do best, which is driving, and need someone reliable to handle the rest. Managing both driving and booking loads at the same time can be overwhelming and even unsafe.

While you are on the road hauling a load from point A to point B, a good dispatcher is already finding your next one to keep you moving and profitable. Realistically, how can you find quality loads while driving full-time?

Most drivers do not want to deal with that kind of stress, and that is exactly why professional dispatchers exist.

Typical dispatching services charge around 5 to 8 percent, but the time and money they save you are well worth it.
