New MC FAQ
Questions From New Carriers
How much does dispatch service cost?
Pricing is customized to your equipment, fleet size and operating plan. We confirm the percentage and all terms before onboarding.
Do you force dispatch?
No. You review each opportunity and decide whether to approve or pass.
What equipment do you work with?
We support common equipment including Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, Step Deck, Power Only and Box Truck, subject to current lane and broker fit.
Can I choose my loads and lanes?
Yes. We build the search around your preferred lanes, availability and operating limits.
Do you guarantee loads for a new authority?
No dispatch company can responsibly guarantee loads or rates. Broker acceptance depends on authority age, insurance, equipment, lanes and current market conditions.
How quickly can we start?
Once your authority, insurance and onboarding information are ready, a dispatcher reviews your operation and confirms the start plan.
What documents are required?
We begin with contact, authority, equipment and lane details. Sensitive documents are requested later through a secure onboarding process.
Is there a contract?
Service terms, cancellation conditions and pricing are reviewed clearly before you decide to proceed.
