Premium Truck Dispatching Services for Owner-Operators & Small Fleets — High-Paying Loads, No Contracts, 24/7 Support.
How We Dispatch Reefers Differently
We search DAT, Truckstop, and specialty boards simultaneously, plus tap direct broker relationships for produce, food, and pharma freight that never hits the boards — because top-paying reefer freight often moves through dedicated broker relationships and shipper contracts, not the open market. We price loads the way reefers actually earn: factoring in temperature-controlled premiums, detention pay ($25-$100/hr after free time, often longer at cold-storage docks), layover, and pallet exchange fees, so a load isn't booked until every accessorial is confirmed in writing. We also line up your next load before the current one delivers, cutting the deadhead miles that hurt reefer margins hardest — every empty mile costs more in a reefer than a dry van once you factor in reefer fuel burn on top of $0.60-$0.80/mile diesel cost. And every load is matched to your unit's temperature range and pre-cooling requirements — produce, meat, dairy, and pharma all have different tolerances — so you never show up to a shipper with the wrong setpoint or get rejected at the dock over a temperature violation.

FAQs
What makes reefer dispatching different from dispatching a dry van or flatbed?
Reefer freight is temperature-sensitive, which means pre-cooling requirements, continuous temp monitoring, and tighter delivery windows that dry van and flatbed carriers don't face. We factor in detention, layover, and pallet exchange fees when negotiating your rate, so you're never stuck absorbing unpaid dock time or fees that eat your margin.
How much does reefer dispatching cost?
Our reefer dispatch services run 7-10% per load, depending on your equipment, lanes, and freight type. There are no monthly fees, no long-term contracts, and no charges on loads you don't accept — you only pay when we book you a load.
Do you work with OTR reefer operators, or only regional/local?
We onboard and dispatch OTR reefer carriers alongside regional and local runs. Whether you're running long-haul produce lanes or staying closer to home with dedicated cold-chain freight, we build a lane strategy around your equipment and preferences.
Do you negotiate detention and layover pay for cold-storage dock delays?
Yes. We confirm detention and layover terms in writing on the rate confirmation before you accept any load, since reefer freight often means longer dock waits at cold-storage facilities than dry van — and we make sure you're paid for that time.
Do I need my own authority to use your reefer dispatch services?
Yes, you'll need your own MC authority to work with us. We help new-authority and OTR carriers get set up with brokers, understand the onboarding process, and start booking loads quickly.
