Truck Dispatch FAQ for Owner-Operators & Fleets

A truck dispatch service is a third-party back-office partner for trucking carriers. The dispatcher finds and books freight loads on behalf of the carrier, negotiates rates with brokers, handles broker paperwork (setup, rate confirmations, BOLs), and supports drivers on the road. Bonafide Trucking Solutions is a U.S.-based dispatch company serving owner-operators and fleets nationwide.
