How much does O Trucking dispatch cost?
O Trucking charges a flat weekly rate: $250 per week for semi trucks and $350 per week for box trucks and hotshot — for unlimited loads. There is no commission, no per-load fee, no setup cost, and no contract. This differs from the industry norm of 5–10% per load: a percentage dispatcher costs more every time you book a better-paying load, while O Trucking's price stays fixed no matter how much you gross. For an owner-operator grossing $6,000/week, that's about $250 flat versus roughly $480 at 8% — around $230 saved per week, or $11,960 a year. New carriers can try it free for 3 days.

Why Flat-Rate Beats Commission
Commission penalizes hard work — the more you gross, the more they take. Flat-rate caps your cost so every extra mile you run goes to you.

Watch Out for Ultra-Low Dispatch Fees
If a dispatch service is charging 3% or less, ask yourself what they're cutting corners on. Here are the red flags to watch for:
- Hidden fees — promise 3% but tack on “technology fees,” “setup charges,” or “account management” costs
- No 24/7 support — when your truck breaks down at 2 AM, there's nobody to rebook your load
- No broker vetting — they book with anyone, leaving you exposed to double-brokers and non-paying brokers
- Lock-in contracts — they need contracts because carriers would leave after seeing the low-quality service
With O Trucking, there are zero hidden fees, zero per-load commissions, and zero contracts. One flat weekly rate — $250/week for semis, $350/week for box truck and hotshot. That's it.

Pricing FAQ
Common questions about our dispatch service pricing.
How much does a truck dispatcher charge?
O Trucking charges a flat weekly rate: $250/week per truck for semis (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only) and $350/week for box truck and hotshot. Unlimited loads at that price. Industry-standard dispatchers charge 5–10% of every load — at $5,000/week gross that's $250–$500/week. Our flat rate caps your dispatch cost no matter how much you gross.
Why flat-rate instead of commission?
Commission penalizes you for running harder. If a percentage dispatcher takes 8% and you gross $7,000 one week, you pay $560. Gross $8,000 next week, you pay $640. With our flat $250/week (semi) or $350/week (box/hotshot), you pay the same whether you gross $4,000 or $10,000 — every extra dollar of revenue you bring in is yours. The hardest-running owner-operators save the most.
What's included in the flat weekly fee?
Every weekly fee includes: load finding, aggressive rate negotiation with brokers, broker credit checks and vetting, 24/7 dispatch support, rate confirmation and BOL paperwork handling, and load tracking coordination. Nothing gated — same full service for every customer.
Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?
No hidden fees, no setup costs, no onboarding charges. You pay only your weekly rate ($250 semi or $350 box/hotshot). Additional services like MC setup, compliance assistance, and accounting are separate and optional — see our services page for pricing.
Is the flat rate truly unlimited loads?
Yes. The $250/week (semi) or $350/week (box/hotshot) flat rate covers unlimited loads, unlimited miles, and full dispatch service. No cap on how many loads we book for you. Run 3 loads or 30 — the price is the same.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No contract, no lock-in, no cancellation fees. Month-to-month. Stop anytime. We keep you because the service is worth it, not because you're trapped.
Do I need to pay upfront?
No upfront payment. We bill weekly on Fridays for the prior week of dispatch. We work with factoring companies for seamless payment processing, and can help you set up QuickPay or Comcheck for fuel advances and lumper fees.
