If you’ve ever had a heavy piece of equipment that you needed to ship from one location to another, you know the pains of having to arrange a heavy haul shipment. There are several arrangements to make, including finding a professional driver, using the right specialized trailer, following oversize load requirements, and plotting the best transportation route according to surrounding areas and road restrictions. Trusted Dispatch makes heavy-duty hauling services a breeze to arrange with our easy-to-use online system that instantly gives you a free quote.
1. Fair Shipping Rates for Drivers and Customers
We take great pride in the Trusted Dispatch system. Our shipping dashboard is designed to make it easier for both drivers and customers to connect. Drivers use our dashboard when they’re looking for extra work or have an empty backhaul to fill because no driver wants to have an open trailer when they could be hauling a load for a customer.
Our system also helps our customers ship heavy items that are generally difficult to find transport for. The most significant benefit of using Trusted Dispatch is saving time. Customers know professional drivers handle their loads at a fair rate, and drivers know that the advertised loads are authentic. It’s a win-win scenario.
Equipment Hauling Rates
As a customer, you want to know how much shipping a heavy load will cost you. A used combine or tractor may seem like a good deal, but if you have options to transport from across the United States border or ship it from Ontario to Alberta, the shipping cost will influence which option you choose.
Getting a quote on heavy equipment shipping is easy when you use Trusted Dispatch. Our system requires a pick-up location, a drop-off location, and the specifications of equipment or machinery that need to be transported. Once you enter those three basic pieces of information, you’ll receive a free quote instantly, allowing you to make your decision simpler.
Saving Our Drivers’ Time and Energy
It can be a considerable investment in time and energy for drivers to independently seek out extra shipments that are suited for the trailer they’re using and is in their area of their route. This challenge helped inspire us to create Trusted Dispatch. Having a central dashboard for customers to advertise their shipments makes it extremely simple for drivers to find loads in their areas that line up with their schedules. Our easy-to-use system allows the customer to instantly get a free quote by entering the pick-up and drop-off locations plus load specifications. Our fair rates and helpful customer service make pairing drivers with customers a breeze for everyone.
2. Connecting Professional Drivers With Extra Loads
Professional drivers looking for extra shipments or easy ways to fill an empty trailer for a return trip use Trusted Dispatch for connections. Our free load board helps drivers maximize their payloads by connecting available drivers with loads in their area or route. Our system is designed to save you time, provide fair rates, and make better overall connections between drivers and customers.

Our drivers operate across Canada and the United States, moving loads of all sizes and distances. Check out our drivers in action to learn more.
Environmental Benefits
When organized effectively, backhaul shipping also has benefits to the environment. As drivers deliver shipments from point A to point B, it’s beneficial to them to find another load to return to their origin point. If drivers only delivered loads in one direction, there would be a lot more driving involved and gas consumed than if all drivers were able to find truck loads for the trip home. Fewer empty truckloads mean less wasted gas and less pollution from trucks on the road. The challenge is how and where to find these backhaul loads where everyone wins.
3. Exceptional Customer Service
Customers and drivers are very busy with their day-to-day business. The last thing you want is to spend additional hours setting up shipping arrangements. This is another reason to use Trusted Dispatch for your equipment hauling needs. The work of connecting your load with an available, experienced driver is done for you. You’ll no longer spend time calling from company to company or contractor to find a driver. All you need to do is post your load and make your payment, and our drivers will find you. The only legwork required is to confirm the pick-up time and locations with your driver.
