Frequently Asked Questions
How much do truck dispatchers charge?
Most charge 5% to 10% of each load's gross revenue. Some charge flat weekly fees instead.
Is a truck dispatcher worth it?
If the dispatcher raises your average rate per mile, cuts deadhead, and keeps the truck loaded, the extra revenue usually exceeds the fee — while freeing you from load boards and paperwork.
