Truck Dispatch Services for Owner-Operators
One truck, one dedicated human dispatcher. MetaSys finds your loads, negotiates every rate, and handles the broker paperwork for 7 to 8% of gross. You approve every load, and there is no long-term contract.
- You approve every load
- Week to week, no long-term contract
- 7 to 8% for a single truck, less for fleets
You drive. Your dispatcher handles the board, the brokers, and the paperwork.
Talk to a dispatcherLeave your number. No commitment.
Dispatching yourself is a second job
A single-truck operation has nobody else to hand the back office to. That is the work a dispatcher takes off your plate.
Hours lost chasing loads
Every hour on a load board is an hour you are not paid for. On a single truck, that time comes straight out of driving.
Rates nobody negotiates
Brokers post low and expect you to accept. Without someone pushing back on every load, you leave money on every lane.
Paperwork after a full day
Rate confirmations, broker setups, check calls, and detention claims land on you after the driving is done.
Nobody to call after 5 PM
Breakdowns, detention disputes, and delivery changes do not keep business hours, and most dispatch services do not either.
Your truck. Your call.
The straight answers owner-operators and small fleets ask for before they hand a truck to a dispatcher.
You approve every load
Every load offer comes with the rate, the lane, the pickup and delivery windows, and the broker. You accept or you pass. Nothing gets booked over your head.
No long-term contract
We work week to week. If the loads or the service are not right in any given week, you can cancel without penalty.
No monthly or setup fees
Dispatch is a percentage of gross load revenue and nothing else. If you do not make money, neither do we.
Keep your own brokers
Your existing broker contacts stay yours. Your dispatcher works them alongside our network instead of replacing them.
A person, 7 days a week
Dispatch coverage runs 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When something happens on the road, a person is reachable, not a queue.
Brokers checked before you roll
Broker credit is checked before we accept a load from an unknown payer, and every rate confirmation is reviewed before it is signed.
What dispatch costs

Questions owner-operators ask before they sign up
How much does truck dispatch cost for a single-truck owner-operator?
7 to 8 percent of gross load revenue for a single truck. Fleets pay less: 6 to 7 percent for 2 to 5 trucks and 5 to 6 percent for 6 or more. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no long-term contract. If you do not make money, neither do we.
Is this a real dispatcher or software?
A real person. A dedicated dispatcher works your lanes, negotiates with brokers directly, and handles exceptions in real time. MetaSys AI Dispatch is a separate product in early access for operators who want a system-first approach.
Do I have to take every load my dispatcher finds?
No. Every load offer comes with the rate, the lane, the pickup and delivery windows, and the broker before anything is booked. You accept or you pass, and nothing gets booked over your head. Your no-go lanes and preferred freight are recorded once and applied to every search.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Dispatch works week to week. If the loads or the service are not right in any given week, you can cancel without penalty.
Can I keep working with my own brokers?
Yes. Your existing broker contacts stay yours, and your dispatcher works them alongside the MetaSys network of load boards and broker relationships: DAT One, Truckstop.com, Echo Global, Coyote, CH Robinson, TQL, and Uber Freight.
What does my dispatcher actually handle?
Load search, rate negotiation on every load, rate confirmation review, carrier packet setup with new brokers, check calls and in-transit updates, detention, TONU and accessorial tracking and billing, and a weekly revenue report with per-mile and per-load breakdowns.
What happens if something goes wrong at night or on a weekend?
Dispatch coverage runs 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. If something happens on the road, a person is reachable, not a queue.
How do I switch from my current dispatcher?
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.
Ready to stop dispatching yourself?
Leave your number. A MetaSys dispatcher will call or text you within one business day, and most carriers are dispatched within 48 hours of completing onboarding.
