Watch Out for Ultra-Low Dispatch Fees
If a dispatch service is charging 3% or less, ask yourself what they're cutting corners on. Here are the red flags to watch for:
- Hidden fees — promise 3% but tack on “technology fees,” “setup charges,” or “account management” costs
- No 24/7 support — when your truck breaks down at 2 AM, there's nobody to rebook your load
- No broker vetting — they book with anyone, leaving you exposed to double-brokers and non-paying brokers
- Lock-in contracts — they need contracts because carriers would leave after seeing the low-quality service
With O Trucking, there are zero hidden fees, no contracts, and you get a 7-day free trial to verify the quality before you pay a dime.

Pricing FAQ
Common questions about our dispatch service pricing.
How does commission-based pricing work?
With commission-based pricing, you only pay a percentage of the gross revenue from each load we book for you. For example, if we book a $3,000 load and your rate is 6%, our fee would be $180. You keep $2,820. This aligns our interests - we earn more when you earn more.
What's included in the dispatch fee?
Our dispatch fee includes: load finding and booking, rate negotiation with brokers, 24/7 support, broker and shipper communication, basic paperwork handling (rate confirmations, BOL review), and load tracking coordination.
Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?
No hidden fees and no setup costs for our dispatch service. You only pay the agreed commission percentage or flat weekly rate. Additional services like MC setup, compliance assistance, and accounting are separate and optional.
Which plan is better - commission or flat rate?
It depends on your volume. If you gross over $5,000/week consistently, the $300 flat rate Business Plan is more economical. For newer operators or those with variable volume, the commission-based Starter Plan offers flexibility with no minimum commitment.
Can I switch between plans?
Yes, you can switch between plans at any time. There's no contract or lock-in period. Many carriers start with our commission-based plan and upgrade to the Business Plan as their volume increases.
Do I need to pay upfront?
No upfront payment required. For commission-based plans, we invoice you after load completion. For the Business Plan, we bill weekly. We work with factoring companies for seamless payment processing, and can help you set up QuickPay or Comcheck payments for fuel advances and lumper fees. See our payment guides: factoring, QuickPay, Comcheck, and lumper fees.
