Frequently asked questions
How much does a truck dispatch service cost?
Dispatch fees are 7% for box trucks, 6% for hotshots, 4% for reefers and Conestoga trailers, 12% for cargo vans, and 5% for dry vans, flatbeds, power only, step decks, Sprinter vans, RGN and lowboy trailers, car haulers, tankers, dump trucks and trailers, and curtain side trailers. Fees apply to gross revenue on loads we book. Rai Dispatch uses percentage only pricing for every truck type. There are no setup fees, fixed weekly or monthly charges, or other Rai Dispatch fees. Confirm the applicable equipment category, billing base and service scope in writing.
Will I have a dedicated dispatcher?
Yes. Rai Dispatch assigns a dedicated dispatcher for every truck, with load planning around its equipment, preferred lanes, schedule and load criteria. Active carriers receive 24/7 live dispatch support through their agreed contact and escalation process. Confirm contact details and backup arrangements during free setup.
Which truck and trailer types can you dispatch?
We specialize in dispatching box trucks, dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, power only tractors, step decks, hotshot trucks, cargo vans and Conestoga trailers. We also review Sprinter vans and other listed equipment. Actual equipment, lane and load requirements are confirmed before booking.
Is dispatch support available 24/7?
Yes. Rai Dispatch provides 24/7 live dispatch support for active carriers. Active carriers should use the dispatch contact and escalation process agreed during onboarding. New carrier setup desk hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM CT.
What documents do I need to get started?
Prepare your operating authority details where applicable, Certificate of Insurance, W-9, equipment specifications, and a signed dispatch agreement. A factoring notice of assignment may also be needed. Broker requirements vary by load and carrier.
Do I have to accept every load?
No. No forced dispatch: you approve every load before it is booked. We present the rate, pickup and delivery details, equipment requirements, and route considerations so you can decide before booking.
Do you work with new authorities and owner operators?
Owner operators, small fleets, and carriers with new authority can discuss their setup with us. Each broker sets its own authority age, insurance, safety, and equipment requirements, so not every load will be available to every carrier.
Are freight rates or weekly earnings guaranteed?
No. Freight availability, load rates, operating costs, and weekly revenue change with equipment, markets, hours available, and the loads you accept. Dispatch support helps you evaluate opportunities; it does not guarantee a particular income.
