Everything included in dry van dispatch

One flat percentage. Every service below is included for every load we dispatch for you β€” no hidden fees, no add-ons.

πŸš›

Dedicated Lane Development

We build consistent, repeatable lane patterns for dry van operators who want predictability. Same shippers, same lanes, reliable weekly income.

πŸ’°

Aggressive Rate Negotiation

Dry van is competitive. Our dispatchers know the market rate on every corridor and push back on every low offer β€” we never just accept the first number brokers throw out.

πŸ“¦

Spot & Contract Load Access

We work both spot market and contract lanes. When your dedicated lane has a gap, spot loads fill it. When spot rates drop, we push you toward contracts.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Lane Optimization & Home Time

We plan your loads strategically β€” positioning your truck to maximize revenue on the way out and get you home efficiently without expensive dead-head miles.

πŸ“‹

Full Back-Office Management

Rate confirmations, broker packets, W-9, COI β€” every document needed to run your operation is handled. You focus on the road, we handle the desk.

⏱️

Detention & Accessorial Claims

Shippers run late. We track your clock and file detention claims the moment you qualify. Layover, TONU, and lumper reimbursements are all pursued on your behalf.

πŸ”

50+ Broker Relationships

We do not just search one load board. We have active relationships with over 50 freight brokers who bring us loads directly before they even hit the public boards.

βœ…

FMCSA Compliance Support

Insurance certificates, MC authority status, carrier packet management β€” kept current and compliant so you never lose a load over a paperwork issue.

Dry van dispatch done right

Dry van is the most competitive segment in trucking β€” which means it requires a dispatcher who fights hardest for your rate. We are not order takers. We negotiate every single load.

We reject low offers
We know what every lane pays. If a broker comes in low, we push back with data and walk away if needed. We never accept below-market rates.
Spot and dedicated, both
We work the spot market aggressively and simultaneously develop dedicated relationships so you have a mix of consistent and high-paying loads.
Home time is non-negotiable
We plan your outbound and return loads together β€” so you are not stranded 1,000 miles from home waiting for a load back.
Accessorials are money too
Detention, layover, TONU β€” we pursue every dollar you are owed on every load. Most carriers leave thousands on the table annually by not filing these.
πŸš›

Dry van accounts for 70% of US freight.

That means more loads, more brokers, more lanes β€” and more competition for your capacity. The difference between a good dispatcher and a great one is measured in dollars per mile, every single week.

Yes. We work with shippers and brokers who offer dedicated and semi-dedicated lanes for dry van operators who want consistent, repeatable routes rather than spot market loads.

How does dry van dispatch work with Dexent?

You share your preferred lanes, home base, and availability. Your dispatcher searches multiple load boards and direct broker contacts, presents vetted options, negotiates the rate, and handles all paperwork once you confirm.

Can I choose my own lanes as a dry van operator?

Absolutely. We build your dispatch plan around your preferred lanes, home state, and operational preferences. You tell us where you want to run β€” we find the best-paying loads on those routes.
