MAT Dispatch equipment 5% dispatch fee
Steady dry van freight. Negotiated by your dispatcher.
Dry van is the most competitive board in the country, which means the difference between an average week and a strong one is who is making the calls. MAT Dispatch works your lanes all day and negotiates every load before it reaches you.
- Regional and long-haul general freight
- Lane consistency instead of one-off cheap loads
- 5% dispatch fee — you approve every booking
Dry van dispatch that protects your rate per mile
General freight rewards carriers who know which lanes are paying this week and which brokers actually honour their rate confirmations. Your MAT Dispatch specialist tracks both, so you spend your day driving rather than bidding against a hundred other trucks for the same posting.
We build a repeatable lane pattern around your home base — outbound, reload and return — and negotiate each leg rather than accepting the posted number. Detention, layover and TONU are followed up so the money you earned actually lands.

What does a dry van dispatcher do?
They find freight that matches your truck and schedule, negotiate the rate with the broker, book the load after you approve it, and handle the communication and paperwork that follow.
How does MAT Dispatch find dry van loads?
A combination of the major load boards and direct broker relationships built over years of moving general freight. Your dispatcher works your specific lanes rather than a generic search.
Can I choose my preferred lanes?
Yes. You set your operating area, the lanes you want and your home time, and we plan the week inside those preferences.
Do you negotiate rates with brokers?
On every load. We counter the posted rate using current lane pricing, and we follow up on detention, layover and TONU when they apply.
