Truck Dispatch Services USA for Carriers and Owner-Operators
A dedicated human dispatcher works your trucks. MetaSys finds loads, negotiates rates, handles broker paperwork, and manages the back office so you can focus on driving.
A dispatcher who knows your lanes, not a queue.
Talk to a dispatcher30-minute call. No commitment.
Running a truck is hard enough without running a back office too.
A significant portion of an owner-operator's week disappears into admin work that has nothing to do with driving. Here is what we take off your plate.
Hours lost chasing loads
Load boards eat the hours you should be driving. Every one spent scrolling for freight is one you are not paid for.
Rates nobody negotiates
Brokers post low and expect you to accept. Without a dedicated negotiator, you leave money on every lane.
Paperwork that never ends
Rate confirmations, BOLs, check calls, broker setups. Admin work is a full-time job you did not sign up for.
No one available after 5 PM
Breakdowns, detention disputes, and delivery changes do not follow business hours. Most dispatch services do not either.
Brokers who do not know you
Every new relationship starts at spot rates. Without consistent volume and rep, you will never get preferred carrier status.
Cash flow gaps between loads
Standard payment terms are 30 to 45 days. When fuel costs hit before the check clears, operations stall.
A brand new MC gets filtered before it gets a rate
Authority age rules screen out new carriers before a broker ever looks at your equipment. It happens on every freight type, and it is the top reason a new authority sits empty in its first weeks.
Automation can find a load. It cannot argue with a broker for you.
Prefer automation instead? MetaSys AI Dispatch is in early access and built for operators who want a system-first approach. It runs on the same AI and intelligent automation work MetaSys does outside freight. Both are real options, not a contradiction.
Three services. One team. Full coverage.
Dispatch, brokerage access, and factoring work better together. Use one, two, or all three depending on what your operation needs.

Every trailer type, all 48 states.
A van and a reefer are not the same job. Each equipment type below has its own dispatch page covering the freight it hauls, the lanes it runs, and the paperwork it lives on.
Dry Van
General freight into distribution centers and warehouses. We hold the receiving appointment, line up the reload before you finish unloading, and bill detention and lumper fees back to the broker.
Reefer
Produce, protein, dairy, and frozen. Setpoint, continuous or cycle mode, and pre-cool terms go on the rate confirmation before you accept, so a pulp reading at the door is not an argument.
Flatbed
Open deck steel, lumber, machinery, and building materials. We confirm weight and dimensions before offering a load, negotiate tarp pay onto the rate con, and order state oversize permits.
Power Only
You bring the tractor, the shipper or trailer pool supplies the trailer. We confirm the trailer is loaded and ready before you roll, and keep interchange agreements and certificates current.
Hotshot
Gooseneck, flatbed, and bumper pull trailers behind a Class 3 to 5 truck. We check payload and dimensions against your actual rating before booking, then work the reload to cut deadhead.
Box Truck
Final mile, LTL and partial, retail replenishment, and expedite freight sized to your box and liftgate. Every stop is priced and every accessorial is confirmed in writing before dispatch.
We also dispatch partial loads and expedited freight, including team-driver runs, on any of the equipment above.
New to trucking, or no MC/DOT yet?
The equipment directory above assumes an active operating authority. If you do not have one yet, MC lease and authority placement gets you running first.

Submit your info
MC number, DOT, insurance certificate, W-9, and your preferred lanes. Takes about 10 minutes.
Carrier packet setup
We set you up with our broker network within 24 hours. No delays from your side required.
First load within 48 hours
Most carriers get their first dispatched load within one to two business days of completing onboarding.
Weekly performance review
Every week we review your lane performance, per-mile average, and deadhead percentage to improve your results.
Scale at your pace
Add trucks, change lanes, or adjust freight types any time. We adapt to your operation, not the other way around.
Step 1 asks for your MC and DOT numbers. If you do not have your own yet, MC lease and authority placement gets you running under authority first, so dispatch can start the same way.
We already have the broker relationships. You get the rates.
We maintain active relationships with major 3PLs and load boards so your trucks never sit idle waiting for freight.
Simple pricing. No surprises.
Truck dispatch service cost is a percentage of gross load revenue, and it scales down as your fleet grows: 7 to 8 percent for a single truck, 6 to 7 percent for 2 to 5 trucks, and 5 to 6 percent for 6 or more. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. If you do not make money, neither do we.

Questions carriers ask before they sign up
How does dispatch pricing work?
We charge a percentage of gross load revenue, typically 5 to 8 percent depending on fleet size and freight type. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no long-term contracts. We only make money when you make money.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. We work week to week. If you are not satisfied with the loads or the service in any given week, you can cancel without penalty. We earn your business every week.
Is this AI dispatch or a real person?
This is human dispatch. A dedicated dispatcher works your lanes, negotiates with brokers directly, and handles exceptions in real time. If you want to see how our AI dispatch product works instead, visit our AI Dispatch page.
What load boards and brokers do you use?
We use DAT One, Truckstop.com, and our direct broker network. We also maintain relationships with major 3PLs including Echo Global, Coyote, CH Robinson, TQL, and Uber Freight.
Can you work with my existing broker relationships?
Yes. We work with your existing contacts and add our network on top. You keep every relationship you have already built.
What freight types do you dispatch?
Dry van, reefer, flatbed, power only, partial, and expedited. We handle all major freight types across all 48 continental states.
How fast can I get my first load?
Most carriers receive their first dispatched load within 24 to 48 hours of completing onboarding. Onboarding itself takes about 24 hours once you submit your carrier information.
Do you handle after-hours emergencies?
Yes. Our dispatch team is available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. If something happens on the road, a person is reachable, not a queue.
What should I ask a dispatch service before signing up?
Ask how pricing is structured, whether there is a long-term contract, which load boards and brokers the service uses, and how after-hours emergencies are handled. MetaSys charges a percentage of gross load revenue with no monthly fees or setup costs, works week to week with no long-term contract, and covers 7 days a week including holidays.
How do I switch truck dispatch services without losing loads?
Because MetaSys works week to week with no long-term contract, you can onboard while still finishing commitments with your current service. Submit your MC number, DOT number, insurance certificate, and preferred lanes, and carrier packet setup runs in the background so your first MetaSys-dispatched load is ready before you need to drop your existing dispatcher.
How does truck dispatch pricing scale with fleet size?
Dispatch pricing decreases as fleet size grows: single-truck owner-operators run 7 to 8 percent of gross load revenue, fleets of 2 to 5 trucks run 6 to 7 percent, and fleets of 6 or more trucks run 5 to 6 percent with a dedicated account manager. Larger fleets also get volume-based broker access a single truck cannot negotiate alone.
How does a good dispatcher reduce deadhead miles?
A dedicated dispatcher lines up your next load before you finish unloading the current one, using lane history to spot repeat opportunities and negotiating a reload on the same lane instead of sending you back empty. That reload planning, not automation alone, is what keeps deadhead miles down.
Ready to stop dispatching yourself?
Most carriers are dispatched within 48 hours of signing up. No contracts, no setup fees, no risk. Just more miles and better rates, handled by a dispatcher who knows your lanes.
