How Dispatch Services Help New Authorities Scale Faster

Growing a trucking business as a new authority is challenging. Between finding loads, negotiating rates, handling paperwork, and actually driving, there aren't enough hours in the day. Dispatch services help new authorities scale faster by handling the business side while you focus on what you do best.

The Time Problem for New Authorities

As a new authority, you're wearing every hat—driver, dispatcher, bookkeeper, and salesperson. This creates a fundamental problem: the time you spend finding loads is time you can't spend driving and earning money.

Professional dispatch services solve this by handling load finding, rate negotiation, and administrative tasks while you drive. This division of labor accelerates growth.

Instant Access to Broker Relationships

Building broker relationships takes time—time new authorities don't have. Dispatch services provide immediate access to broker networks that took years to develop.

• Brokers trust dispatchers they've worked with for years
• New carriers benefit from their dispatcher's reputation
• Access to loads that never hit public load boards
• Better rates through established relationships

Our new authority support program specifically leverages these relationships to help new carriers get started faster.

Better Rates Through Professional Negotiation

Experienced dispatchers negotiate dozens of loads daily. This experience translates to better rates than most new carriers can negotiate on their own.

• Know current market rates for specific lanes
• Understand when brokers have flexibility
• Negotiate accessorials like detention and layover
• Build leverage through relationship history

Reduced Deadhead and Better Planning

Good dispatchers think several loads ahead, positioning you for profitable backhauls and minimizing empty miles.

Our nationwide dispatch coverage means we can find you freight in any state, reducing the deadhead that kills profitability.

Learning from Experience

Working with experienced dispatchers is an education. You learn which lanes pay well, which brokers to trust, and how the industry really works.

This knowledge transfer accelerates your development as a business owner, even if you eventually choose to self-dispatch.
