Load Planning for Every Truck
We plan freight truck by truck, around each driver's lanes, hours of service and home time, so the whole fleet keeps moving.
Dispatch for Trucking Companies & Small Fleets
Nexloads provides truck dispatch for trucking companies across the US. Our dispatchers find loads for every truck in your fleet, negotiate rates, handle broker setup and paperwork, and plan each truck's next load, with no forced dispatch and no long-term contract.
Why Trucking Companies Outsource Dispatch
Running a small fleet means keeping several trucks loaded at once, each with its own driver, hours of service, home time and equipment. When dispatch is done by the owner between phone calls, trucks sit or run empty. An outsourced dispatch team gives your fleet full-time load planning without hiring, training and paying in-house dispatchers. We work in line with FMCSA regulations and keep you in control of every load.

Fleet Dispatch Pricing
A percentage of each load, paid weekly. No long-term contract.
Nexloads charges 5% weekly for dry van and reefer fleets with three or more trucks, and 5% weekly for flatbed, step deck and RGN fleets of up to ten trucks. One or two dry van or reefer trucks are on our 6% weekly plan. Box truck, hotshot, straight truck and power only are quoted for your lanes. You pay only on loads your trucks run. See full details on our truck dispatch pricing page.
In-house dispatcher vs outsourced dispatch
An in-house dispatcher comes with a salary, payroll taxes, load board subscriptions, a phone system and cover for sick days and vacations. With outsourced dispatch those costs are built into one percentage, and the cost moves down in slow weeks. If your fleet grows past what one person can plan, an outsourced team scales with you. Run your numbers with the dispatch fee calculator.
How to Choose a Dispatch Company for Your Fleet
Questions every trucking company should ask.
Can you plan around each driver?
Ask how the dispatcher tracks hours of service, home time and preferred lanes for every truck, not just the next load.
Who approves loads?
You should have the final say. Nexloads does not force dispatch, and your drivers can turn down any load.
Who owns the broker relationships?
Brokers set up with your MC stay your brokers. A good dispatch company builds your network, not its own.
What happens if I want to stop?
Look for no long-term contract. We work week to week. If you run one truck, see our owner operator dispatch service instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is dispatch for trucking companies?
It is an outsourced dispatch team that books freight for every truck in your fleet. We find loads, negotiate rates with brokers, handle broker setup and paperwork, and plan each truck's next load so your trucks stay moving.
How much does fleet dispatch cost?
Nexloads charges a percentage of each load on a weekly plan: 5% weekly for dry van and reefer fleets with three or more trucks, and 5% weekly for flatbed, step deck and RGN fleets of up to ten trucks. Box truck, hotshot, straight truck and power only are quoted for your lanes. There is no long-term contract.
Is outsourcing dispatch cheaper than hiring an in-house dispatcher?
For many small fleets it is. An in-house dispatcher means a salary, payroll costs, load board subscriptions and cover for days off. With a percentage-based service you pay only on loads your trucks run. Compare your own numbers before deciding.
Can you dispatch different trailer types in one fleet?
Yes. We dispatch dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, RGN, power only, box truck, straight truck and hotshot, so a mixed fleet can work with one dispatch team.
Do my drivers have to take every load?
No. There is no forced dispatch. You or your drivers approve each load before it is booked.
Do you work with new trucking companies?
Yes. We need your MC authority, W-9 and certificate of insurance to set you up with brokers. Some brokers have authority-age requirements, and we work with the ones that fit your situation.
