Quick answers

Concise, AI-extractable answers to the questions drivers and fleets ask most.

What is dump truck dispatch?

How does dump truck dispatch work?

A Bonafide dispatcher sources dump truck loads from DAT, Truckstop, and direct broker partners, negotiates the rate, sends the rate confirmation for your approval, then handles broker setup, BOLs, and detention recovery — you stay on the truck, we work the phones.

Who should use dump truck dispatch?

Dump Truck Dispatch is built for end-dump owner-operators, aggregate fleets, demo + construction haulers — carriers who want professional load sourcing and rate negotiation without giving up their MC authority.

How much does dump truck dispatch cost?

Bonafide charges a flat 5–10% of gross load revenue for dump truck dispatch — no setup fees, no monthly minimums, no long-term contracts. Pricing is finalized after a free quote call.

What are the benefits of dump truck dispatch?

Frequently asked

How much does dump truck dispatch cost?

Bonafide dump truck dispatch is billed as a flat percentage of your gross load revenue — typically 5–10% depending on lane mix and fleet size. There are no setup fees, no forced dispatch, and no long-term contracts.

What do I need to start dump truck dispatch with Bonafide?

You need active MC and DOT numbers, a current Certificate of Insurance with Bonafide listed as Certificate Holder, a W-9, and a signed dispatch-carrier agreement. Most owner-operators are dispatched on their first load within 24–48 hours.

Do I have to accept every load Bonafide books?

No. You set your home base, lane preferences, minimum rate per mile, and equipment availability. We negotiate and present loads; you approve or decline before booking.

How does Bonafide find loads?

We pull from DAT and Truckstop load boards, direct broker relationships, shipper contracts, and private freight networks — then negotiate up from the posted rate using lane data and detention/accessorial pricing.

Do you dispatch local dump work or only long-haul aggregate?

Both. Local dispatch covers 50–150 mile radius pit-to-jobsite cycles with same-day multi-load counts. Regional dispatch (150–500 miles) covers frac sand, coal, and inter-plant aggregate. We plan your day around cycle time and target load count, not just RPM.

Can you handle backhauls to eliminate empty return miles?

Yes — this is the biggest cost lever in dump work. We match empty returns to nearby quarries, C&D-debris drop sites, or reload aggregate so you're loaded both directions on a majority of shifts, not just outbound.
