Common dispatch questions, answered directly.
Built for owner-operators evaluating dispatch support.
What does a truck dispatcher handle?
A dispatcher can search and qualify loads, negotiate rates, complete broker setup, organize rate confirmations, communicate with brokers, support active-load issues, and help plan the next market.
Do dispatchers control which loads I take?
Not at 3 Way Logistics. You approve or decline every load. We provide the details and recommendation; you keep final control.
Can dispatch improve profitability?
Dispatch can improve the quality and consistency of load decisions, but results depend on market conditions, equipment, costs, availability, and carrier execution. No responsible dispatcher can guarantee a fixed rate or revenue.
What information should I provide a dispatcher?
Equipment specifications, authority details, insurance, W-9, factoring information if applicable, preferred lanes, home time, minimum expectations, broker preferences, and communication needs.
How should I compare two loads?
Compare total revenue, all miles including deadhead, realistic time, fuel and tolls, loading requirements, appointment risk, broker quality, destination demand, and likely reload options.
Which equipment does 3 Way Logistics support?
We support dry vans, reefers, box trucks, power only, hotshots, flatbeds, step decks, Conestogas, lowboys, RGN trailers, dump trucks, and semi-truck operations.
