Wouldn’t it be great if there was someplace where people who needed to ship heavy equipment could advertise their loads for available drivers to find and claim them? The good news is that there are places, and we’re not talking about the classified section of your local newspaper. Trusted Dispatch is a digital load finder that independent truck owner-operators can use to find additional shipments to deliver. The best part is that our online system is user-friendly for both sides.
What Is a Load Board?
When drivers and customers need to connect to arrange for shipping needs in an online space, this is called a digital load board. Just as you might imagine a bulletin board at your local community centre advertising this, that, and the next thing, the load board specializes in posting available shipments so drivers can find jobs near them or on their routes.
Trusted Dispatch uses an online system that works from anywhere, whether you’re connecting via your desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device. Our mobile app is easy to use while on the go, connecting shipments with drivers in three easy steps. Start by telling us your pick-up and drop-off locations and the specifications of your shipment, and we’ll give you a free quote instantly.
How It Works for Customers
One of the struggles for people who need to ship equipment or machinery is freight matching. When you’re asking around locally for drivers, your chances of finding someone available with the right trailer for your shipment traveling in the right direction are slim. With Trusted Dispatch, we work with a network of drivers who have routes across Canada and the United States so that you can find the right driver.
How It Works for Drivers
The Trusted Dispatch system makes it easy for owner-operators to find truck loads that match your route and trailer. If you have an empty truck bed and want to make the most of your time by picking up extra shipments, we ensure you are paid fairly for your expertise and work.
Are you a driver looking for extra income? Do you run a small fleet of trucks that could use more shipments each month? We help an industry-leading community of truckers maximize their profits while on the road. With prepaid loads, no hidden fees or middlemen, and exceptional customer support, Trusted Dispatch helps you maximize your profits while on the road.
Most Popular Loads
We specialize in matching customers and drivers for heavy hauls, including farming equipment, construction machinery, as well as machines for the oil, gas, and mining sectors. If it’s large, heavy, or oversized, you’ll find a match on our load board.
Long-Hauls
The Trusted Dispatch network of drivers operates all over North America, which is why we are able to serve clients who need long-hauls delivered. If you need to ship a tractor across a few provinces, across the country, or over the border, it’s all possible with our system.
Oversized Loads
Your driver will make all the necessary arrangements for transport based on the load you publish to the Trusted Dispatch load board. If your shipment is oversized, your driver will research the best route to follow weight and height restrictions on each regional road system involved. When required, your driver will arrange for a pilot car and other oversized shipment signage as required by law. Your instant free shipping quote is calculated on the distance traveled and size of your load. This does not include any required additional transportation costs. For over dimensional loads, in most cases, your driver will provide you with an all-in offer that includes the price of a pilot vehicle when needed. There are exceptions, for example agricultural equipment, certain provinces and states allow truckers to easily transport without pilot escorts.
Cross-Border Shipping
The benefit of having drivers on routes across North America is the ability to serve customers who need to ship heavy equipment across the border. Not only do we have experienced drivers who are familiar with the border crossing procedures, but we also have a list of recommended Customs Brokers. Unless you work for a large company that has its own international shipping department, you’ll likely want to work with a customs broker to ensure your paperwork is in order. The last thing you want to encounter is your tractor stopped at the customs office because you neglected to provide the right form or cannot pay an applicable tariff. Customs brokers are professionals who make cross-border shipping stress-free and accurate.
