What is car hauler dispatch, and why do you need it?

5 min read

Look, we get it - you became a car hauler to drive and make money, not to spend hours on the phone hunting for loads. That's where dispatch comes in. Let's break down what dispatch really means for drivers like you and why it might be exactly what you need to boost your business.

The real deal about car hauler dispatch

Think of dispatch as your business partner on the road. While you're focused on safely hauling cars, your dispatcher is:

  • Finding the best-paying loads
  • Handling all the paperwork
  • Dealing with brokers
  • Making sure you're not running empty
  • Securing permits for toll roads, bridges, and facilities
  • Managing port access and terminal permits

"Since working with a dispatcher, I spend more time driving and less time stressing about finding loads. My revenue is up 30% from last year." - John, Owner-Operator

How does it actually work?

Here's the simple breakdown:

  1. You're on the road: You're delivering a load in Miami
  2. Dispatcher's working: They're already lining up your next load
  3. No down time: By the time you deliver, you've got a new load ready
  4. More money: Less empty miles = more profit in your pocket
