How can FF Dispatch charge more and still earn me more money?

It's simple math: our carriers average $2.85/mile vs the industry average of $2.10-2.60. On 10,000 miles, that's $2,500-$7,500 more in gross revenue. Even after our 6% fee, you keep significantly more.

What makes your dispatchers get better rates?

Three things: 1) Each dispatcher handles max 5 trucks, so they have time to negotiate properly. 2) We have 500+ direct broker relationships for loads that never hit public boards. 3) Our dispatchers came from brokerage backgrounds.

Can I try FF Dispatch before committing?

Absolutely. We offer a 7-day free trial with no commitment required. If you're not seeing better loads and rates in your first week, walk away — no hard feelings.

What if I'm currently under contract with Self-Dispatch?

Check your agreement terms, but many carriers run a trial with us while finishing out existing commitments. Once you see the earnings difference, the decision makes itself.

0% commission sounds free. But between lower rates, missed loads while driving, and 10+ hours/week on admin, self-dispatching is the most expensive option. Let us show you the real numbers.

I self-dispatched for 18 months thinking I was saving money. Switched to FF Dispatch and my first month I netted $6,200 more than my best self-dispatch month. I was literally paying myself less than minimum wage to do dispatch work.
