Key Takeaways
- Percentage dispatch fees scale with your gross, so the more you run, the more commission costs; a flat weekly rate caps that cost.
- O Trucking is flat-rate only: $250/week per truck for semis (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only) and $350/week for box truck and hotshot, with unlimited loads.
- Flat $250/week beats almost any percentage once you gross over about $3,000/week (e.g. 8% of $4,000 = $320 vs $250).
- A common mistake is chasing the lowest percentage instead of comparing the actual dollar fee against a flat rate at your real weekly gross.
- Most owner-operators switching from a 10% service save roughly $5,000-$15,000 per year, according to the comparison on this page.

Why Dispatch Fees Matter More Than You Think
Dispatch fees are one of the few costs you can directly control as an owner-operator. Unlike fuel prices, insurance premiums, or truck payments, your dispatch commission is negotiable — and even a small percentage difference compounds into thousands of dollars over a year.

You Save
$18,200/yr
