How We Dispatch Dry Van Loads

Dry van is the backbone of US freight — enclosed 53-foot trailers carrying general freight, retail goods, consumer products, and packaged materials. It’s the most widely available freight type, which means more load options, more lanes, and more consistency for your operation. Our dispatchers work the load boards daily — DAT, Truckstop, and direct broker relationships — to find you loads that pay above the spot average. Current dry van spot rates are running $2.32–$2.45 per mile nationally. We negotiate hard on every load so you’re never leaving money on the table.

What’s Included in Our Dry Van Dispatch

  • Load finding & booking — We search all major load boards and broker networks to find the best-paying dry van loads in your preferred lanes
  • Rate negotiation — Our dispatchers negotiate aggressively on every load, pushing for top-of-market rates and extras like detention pay and TONU
  • Broker vetting — Every broker is verified on FMCSA SAFER before we book
  • Paperwork & document management — Rate confirmations, BOLs, PODs, and invoicing all handled for you
  • 24/7 support — Our dispatchers are available around the clock
