Box truck dispatch serviceSteady loads for your box truck

Rich Hauler dispatches 16 to 26 foot box trucks across the United States. We find the loads, negotiate the rate and handle the paperwork for 10% of each load, and you approve every load before it's booked.

A box truck dispatcher finds and books freight for your straight truck, negotiates the rate with brokers, and takes care of rate confirmations, BOLs and invoices. At Rich Hauler that costs 10% of each load's gross, with no contract.

What we do for box truck owners

  • Search load boards and broker contacts every day for freight that fits your truck's size, liftgate and pallet space
  • Negotiate the rate and check each broker's credit and safety record before you commit
  • Plan routes so you are not stuck deadheading back empty
  • Send rate confirmations, BOLs and PODs to you and your factoring company
  • Follow up on detention, layover and lumper charges

Why box trucks need a different approach

Box truck freight is not semi freight in a smaller trailer. Loads are often shorter, more local and more time sensitive, and the right load depends on details like a liftgate, pallet jack, straps and the number of pallet positions you have.

A good box truck dispatcher builds your week around these details. That means chaining shorter runs together, finding partial and expedited freight, and keeping you near the lanes where box truck freight moves.

What we need from you

  • Active operating authority and USDOT number for interstate for-hire freight
  • Certificate of insurance with cargo and liability coverage
  • W-9 and your factoring Notice of Assignment or a void check
  • Truck details: length, door type, liftgate, and any equipment you carry

Is 10% worth it?

A dispatcher pays off when the rate per mile you get goes up by more than the fee, or when you spend fewer days waiting for the next load. Try your own numbers in our dispatch calculator, and know your floor with the cost per mile guide.
