    We have had no luck with dispatch services. First two could have kept us running like crazy if we wanted to run 1.50 a mile. Gee... I can book loads like that till I'm blue in the face. They get their percentage, that's all they care about. Third one, Loadedtruck.com asks for 12% and at first booked fairly decent loads. Then things went downhill quick when they would send us to dead areas with no plan but to deadhead out or drive for 1.29 a mile or so. We figured out they could not book loads in our best interest so we won't use them anymore. Loadedtruck.com is keeping our $ 300.00 deposit because "they worked to get us loads that we turned down." Well, no kidding we turned them down.. we pull for bottom of the barrel rates and they get 12%.
    Everyone is out to screw the owner operator. Good Luck.

    Try 855-loads-4-u-. The owner and also a dispatcher is a former driver and knows what the trucker goes through, always looking out for the driver best interest. They now the dead zones and how to get out.

    I pay my ex-wife $20 for each load she books for me. I've set a minimum revenue standard of $2/mile round trip average or $800/day.

    She's already demanding a raise.
