In-House Dispatching

Truck Dispatch Services

TIPS dispatches for owner-operators and small fleets running dry van, reefer, flatbed, and hot shot. We find and book loads that fit your lanes, negotiate rates with brokers, and handle the paperwork, for up to 8% of gross linehaul. If we don't book you a load or manage it for you, you pay nothing.

No setup fees No monthly minimums No long-term contracts No load, no fee

FAQ

Dispatching questions, answers delivered

How do I get started?+
Call us at (208) 278-6722 or fill out the contact form. We will talk about your equipment, lanes, and rate expectations, answer your questions, and get you set up for dispatching.
Do I have to use you exclusively?+
No. You can book your own loads anytime. We only charge on loads we book for you, or ones where you book yourself but still want us to handle the paperwork & coordination.
What load boards do you use?+
DAT, Truckstop, Loadboard 123, and other loadboards that focus on more specialized types of freight. We also are consistently building a network of brokers who move freight in your preferred lanes.
Do I have to have my own loadboard account(s)?+
Yes. Loadboard platforms require you to add an extra seat to your account for dispatchers. A loadboard account is tied to your MC number, so we must have a seat on your loadboard account to book you loads. We'll help you add a seat to whatever loadboards you currently use.
How do you get paid?+
We invoice you based on the loads we successfully booked for you. Once your invoice has been paid by a broker or your factoring company, you will need to pay our dispatching fee outlined in our dispatching agreement with you.
Do you provide factoring?+
Our dispatch service focuses on load booking. If you need help with invoicing and factoring, we can point you to factoring partners who handle that.
