Dispatch Service Pricing
(Percentage of Gross Load Revenue)

Our pricing structure is transparent, competitive, and tailored to equipment type, reflecting the varying complexity of securing and managing loads across different freight segments. Industry-standard dispatch fees typically range from 5% to 10% of gross load revenue. Dockbridge Logistics LLC offers the following rates:

DRY VAN & REEFER

Continuous Lane Planning

We work with massive broker partnerships (C.H. Robinson, TQL, Echo, Coyote, Landstar) to set up back-to-back hauls. We map your run so you are loaded on Mondays, back on Fridays, and home over weekends.

FLATBED & STEPDECK

Specialized Rig Matching

Flatbed requires precise planning, tarping ratios, and state permissions. Our specialists communicate with shippers regarding crane schedules and straps, and negotiate higher pay for complex setups.

NEW AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE

Bypass MC Under 6 Months Hurdles

Many premium brokers reject authorities under 90-180 days. Our dispatch specialists maintain list structures of credit-cleared brokers who onboarding new carriers, keeping you loaded from week one.
