Truck Dispatching

You drive. We handle the rest.

Dispatch service for owner-operators and small fleets. We find the freight, negotiate the rate with the broker, do the paperwork, and stay with the load until it delivers and gets invoiced.

You keep your authority You approve every load No forced dispatch Meridiem Operations LLC
Before you sign anything

Straight answers, up front.

Most carriers have been burned by a dispatcher before. Here is exactly how we work, in plain words.

Your authority

It stays yours.

Your MC number, your DOT number, your insurance, your truck. We dispatch under your authority — we never operate it, lease it, or put you under ours.

Your loads

You approve every one.

Nothing is booked until you say yes to the lane, the rate, and the pickup window. Turn a load down and we keep looking — no forced dispatch, ever.

Your money

It comes to you.

Brokers pay you, or your factoring company, directly. We never take your settlement money into our account and we never hold your funds.

What we handle

Everything off the driver's seat.

You tell us your truck, your lanes, your home base, and the rate you'll run for. From there the phone calls, the emails, and the paperwork are ours.

  • Searching load boards and broker contacts for freight on your lanes
  • Negotiating the rate, then sending it to you for approval
  • Carrier setup packets, rate confirmations, and broker credit checks
  • Check calls, appointment times, and updates to the broker
  • Detention, layover, lumper and TONU follow-up when a load goes sideways
  • Invoicing, POD submission, and factoring paperwork
  • Planning your next load before you empty, so you're not sitting

Running something not on this list? Call and ask — if we can't dispatch it well, we'll tell you straight rather than take you on.

How it works

From first call to first load.

No long onboarding. Most carriers are set up and taking loads within a few days of sending their paperwork.

Step 01

We talk

Your truck, your trailer, your home base, the lanes you like, and the rate you won't go below.

Step 02

You send paperwork

Authority, insurance, W-9, and a signed dispatch agreement. We build your carrier packet once and reuse it.

Step 03

We find freight

We search, negotiate, and bring you the load with the rate and the details. You approve it or you pass.

Step 04

We stay on it

Setup, rate confirmation, check calls, and the invoice after delivery — through to your next load.

Both halves of the clock.

Our name means ante and post meridiem — the full turn of the day. Freight doesn't keep office hours, and the paperwork behind it doesn't either. That's the part we take off you.

Getting set up

What we need from you.

Nothing unusual, and nothing that gives us control of your business. Send these and we can start looking for freight.

01

Active MC & DOT authority

In your name, active and in good standing on the FMCSA register.

02

Certificate of insurance

Your current COI. Brokers ask for it on every setup, so we keep a copy on file to send.

03

Signed W-9

Standard for broker setup packets. It goes to the brokers, not to us.

04

Notice of assignment

Only if you factor. It tells the broker where your invoice payment goes.

05

Truck & trailer details

Equipment type, length, weight capacity, and anything you can't or won't haul.

06

A signed dispatch agreement

Plain terms, our fee in writing, and how either of us can end it. You'll read it before you sign it.

Questions carriers ask

The things you're right to ask.

Do you take over my authority?

No. Your authority stays in your name and under your control. We dispatch loads under your MC — we are not a carrier, we are not leasing you on, and you are not signing your authority over to anyone.

What do you charge?

We'll quote you on the first call and put it in writing in the dispatch agreement before you sign. No sign-up fee to talk to us, and no charges that aren't in that agreement.

Am I locked into a contract?

The dispatch agreement sets out the notice period for ending it, and we'll walk you through that clause before you sign. We'd rather keep you because the loads are good than because you're stuck.

Can you touch my money?

No. Brokers pay you or your factoring company directly. We never take your settlement money into our account, and we don't need access to your bank.

What if I don't like a load you find?

Turn it down. We don't book anything without your approval, and we don't push freight on you. Tell us why it didn't work and we'll use that when we search next time.

Do you dispatch more than one truck?

Yes. We work with single owner-operators and with small fleets. Tell us how many trucks and what they run and we'll set them up together.

Who am I actually talking to?

Meridiem Operations LLC, a US company. Dispatching sits alongside the back-office and monitoring work we already do for other businesses. You'll have a named dispatcher, not a rotating call centre queue.

What happens if a broker doesn't pay?

We check broker credit before booking, keep the rate confirmation and POD on file, and chase the invoice for you. We can't guarantee a broker pays — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something — but we don't leave you to chase it alone.

Get set up

Send this over and we'll come back to you with how we'd run your lanes, and what we charge. No obligation, and no pressure on the call.

Rather just call?
