A Good Week, Not Just a Good Load
We look for loads that line up one after another, so you spend less time deadheading between them.

We tell you whether a pickup is a live load or drop-and-hook and plan around the appointment times.
Lumper Receipts and Detention
We get lumper fees reimbursed and file detention when a shipper holds you past free time.
Broker Credit Checks
We check how a broker pays before booking and avoid poorly rated ones.
Invoices Out Fast
We send your invoice with the rate con, BOL and POD right after delivery.

Good to Know
Most dry van freight is palletized consumer goods, paper, packaging and retail stock. Many receivers use lumpers to unload, and many shippers allow two hours of free time before detention starts.
Knowing those rules, and getting them written into the rate confirmation, is how a dispatcher protects your week.
