A better next move

A bigger rate.
Or a better load?

The highest number on a load board doesn’t tell the whole story. Empty miles, time, operating costs, and the destination all change the decision.

In this example, the lower-paying load produces more gross revenue per total mile. That is a better starting point for a conversation—not a promise of profit.

that fits your operation.

Independent dispatch and the TOAD carrier program are separate arrangements. Start with the one that matches your authority status.

Straight answers

A few things
worth knowing.

Read all FAQs
What does a truck dispatcher do?

A truck dispatcher helps a carrier find suitable freight, discuss rates with brokers, coordinate pickup and delivery details, and organize the paperwork behind a load. The carrier approves loads and remains responsible for its operation.

Do I need my own MC authority?

Independent dispatch is for carriers using their own active authority. Operators without their own active authority can explore the TOAD carrier program, which has separate qualification and onboarding requirements. Read about the carrier program and operating status.

How much does TOAD charge?

Independent dispatch is 10% of total load revenue for carriers using their own active authority. The TOAD carrier program is 15% total: a 10% dispatch component plus a 5% carrier-program component, both calculated on the same total load revenue. Operating costs are separate. Carrier service requires active TOAD authority and approved onboarding. See carrier-program details.

How does the 7-day free dispatch trial work?
