    Amyone here using a good dispatch service. Iam toying with the idea of using one. I have a single truck and dry van. I run 48 states and am interested in finding a good reputable dispatch service. I dont want to see a big discussion on the merits of such a service as everyone has a different operation and ways of doing business. Any info would be gratefully appreciated stay safe out there. Regards.

    Yes, myself. If you do use one make sure you do some research and make sure there going to book loads that are profitable for you, not just ones that can make them there percentage and not care what you make. IMO there a waste of your profit but thats just me.

    I'd consider using a dispatch service if they'd guarantee me a minimum of $2/mile average to the truck, on all miles, after commission. Otherwise I wouldn't see an advantage to such a service.

    Well, that's the thing. I'm averaging better than $2/mile for all miles to the truck by dispatching myself, and it's all load board spot market freight that I'm booking. If I were to pay a service to book my loads, then I'd want to see at least the same results as I'm getting for myself.
