Dispatch Support for Carriers

More Than Dispatch. A Better Way to Run Your Trucking Business.

Whether you're running one truck or building your first fleet, OTR Freight Network connects carriers with professional dispatch support, operational resources, and technology-supported solutions designed to help keep trucks moving, paperwork organized, and your business positioned for growth.

Get Started

Driving the Truck Is Already a Full-Time Job.

An owner-operator often has to simultaneously function as:

You drive the truck. We'll help manage what happens around it.

Professional dispatch support can help reduce the administrative workload surrounding freight operations so carriers can spend more time focused on safely operating and growing their businesses.

Enterprise-Level Organization

You Don't Need 100 Trucks to Operate Like a Professional Fleet.

Professional Technology Without the Enterprise Overhead

The Problem

Small carriers frequently operate through scattered emails, text messages, paper documents, folders, spreadsheets, and multiple disconnected systems.

The Approach

OTR Freight Network's dispatch-service relationships may provide clients access to professional third-party transportation management technology designed to help organize and support dispatch-related operations.

Depending upon the services and technology available to a particular client, these tools may assist with organizing items such as:

Loads & load information
Rate confirmations
Dispatch documentation
Certificates of Insurance (COIs)
Carrier & operational documents
Dispatch activity
Load history
Other transportation-management information

Our dispatch services can be supported by professional third-party transportation-management technology, helping carriers establish a more organized and scalable operating environment. This technology is provided and/or supported by independent third-party technology or service providers.

One Truck Today. A Fleet Tomorrow.

Carriers shouldn't have to completely rebuild their operating processes every time they add another truck.

Owner-Operator

Reduce administrative pressure surrounding a single truck and establish professional processes from the beginning.

Small Fleet

Better organize dispatch activity, loads, documentation, and communications as additional equipment and drivers are added.

Growing Carrier

Develop repeatable operating processes and greater organizational visibility capable of supporting continued expansion.

The systems supporting your first truck shouldn't have to be rebuilt when you add your second, fifth, or tenth.

Know What's Happening Around Your Operation.

As a trucking company grows, organization becomes increasingly important. A technology-supported dispatch environment can help create better visibility into load activity, documentation, dispatch processes, and operational history.

Organized information can make it easier for a carrier to understand what is happening across the operation and establish more professional business processes.

Built Around the Way Carriers Actually Work.

Owner-operators and small fleets operate in a fast-moving environment. Dispatch support should be practical, accessible, responsive, and designed around real trucking operations.

Less Administrative Friction

Help organize the work surrounding the truck.

Professional Dispatch Support

Have someone helping manage freight-related communications and coordination.

Better Organization

Keep important dispatch information and documentation more structured.

Technology-Supported Operations

Access professional third-party transportation-management tools where available.

Room to Grow

Establish processes capable of supporting a larger operation over time.
