MAT Dispatch equipment 5% dispatch fee
Protected freight, flexible loading.
A Conestoga gives shippers weather protection with open-deck loading — and it should earn a premium for it. MAT Dispatch targets the freight that specifically needs a rolling tarp and negotiates the rate that reflects it.
- Freight needing protection plus side or overhead loading
- No tarping by hand — loads matched to your rolling system
- 5% dispatch fee — you approve every load
Conestoga dispatch for carriers who carry the better trailer
Conestoga trailers solve a specific problem: freight that must stay dry but cannot be loaded through the back door. Machinery, coils, packaged building products and finished goods all fall into that gap, and shippers who need it will pay for the equipment rather than take a tarped flatbed.
The mistake is letting a Conestoga get booked as a plain flatbed at flatbed money. Your MAT Dispatch specialist markets the trailer for what it is, screens for freight that genuinely needs protected side loading, and negotiates accordingly.
