How much do truck dispatch services charge?

Across the industry, car hauler dispatch runs roughly 5–10% of gross for booking alone. LOADS: 8% Core, 10% Full Service, 14% Complete (the entire backoffice — books, compliance, AI overview), and 6–7% for fleets of 3+ trucks.

Are there setup fees or contracts?

No setup fee on dispatch tiers and no contract — fees bill weekly, cancel anytime. Core-tier add-ons carry their own setup: Call Tracking $99, Bookkeeping & P&L $599.

When and how do I pay?

Weekly. We send a payment request for the week's dispatch fees, due within 24 hours via Zelle or another approved method — owed on loads dispatched regardless of when brokers pay you, since brokers pay you directly.

Is 10% Full Service worth it over 8% Core?

On a $40k month the difference is $800 — and it buys claims handling that protects your insurance history, call tracking, and review building. Add $1,600 more for Complete and the books, compliance, and AI overview are handled too — less than the standalone bookkeeping add-on plus a part-time admin.

Why percentage of gross instead of a flat weekly fee?

Because a flat fee gets paid whether your truck earns or not. A percentage puts us on your side of the table: slow week, we feel it with you; home time, you owe nothing on it.

Ship a car from Dallas to Phoenix — or get dispatched hauling them

This is the direction the rate indexes forget: Dallas back to Phoenix. Because our equipment already works this corridor, return decks get filled instead of driven home empty — and that shows up in what shippers pay and what carriers gross.

Shipping a vehicle from Dallas to Phoenix? Skip the broker chain

Most "car shipping" websites are brokers: they take your deposit, post your car on a load board, and whichever truck bites hauls it — with the broker's cut baked into your price. LOADS is the opposite side of that market. We're the dispatch desk that books the actual trucks, and we hold no broker license at all. When you ship through a carrier we dispatch, you deal with the company that owns the truck — one price, one point of accountability, your car on their equipment. It's open auto transport, door to door, on the same equipment finished-vehicle logistics runs for the manufacturers — whether you call it car shipping, vehicle transport, or auto relocation, the truck is the same and so is the discipline.

Featured carrier on this lane

Flawless Freight LLC — USDOT 4114501 · MC 1647573

One of the main asset carriers on our board — and our parent company: a federally registered motor carrier running 9-car Cottrell stingers on late-model Peterbilts, with company drivers. Verify them yourself before you book: FMCSA SAFER, the Better Business Bureau, and Trustpilot — verifiability is the whole point of booking carrier-direct. They quote Dallas-to-Phoenix vehicle transport directly, with no broker spread, at flawlessfreightllc.com.

A word on price before you compare quotes: hauling cars costs more right now than the teaser numbers you'll see advertised — diesel, commercial insurance, equipment, and a professional driver's pay are all up, and a loaded 9-car rig pays those costs every mile. Brokers win deposits by quoting below that reality, then re-shop your car at whatever a truck will actually accept — which is how vehicles sit "dispatched" for weeks with no truck attached. A carrier-direct quote can look higher than a broker's opener because it's a real number: the price a specific truck is committed to haul your car for. If a quote elsewhere is dramatically cheaper than the carrier's, that gap is usually the part that was never going to happen.

FAQ

Dallas to Phoenix — straight answers

How much does it cost to ship a car from Dallas to Phoenix?

We don't quote shipper prices — we're a dispatch service, not a broker, so there's no middleman markup to quote. The asset carrier we dispatch on this lane, Flawless Freight LLC (USDOT 4114501), prices it directly against its actual truck schedule at flawlessfreightllc.com. Carrier-direct is how you avoid paying a broker's spread.

Is LOADS a broker?

No. LOADS holds no broker authority and never touches freight payments. We dispatch asset carriers — companies that own their trucks — and when shippers reach us, we point them straight to the carrier, who quotes and hauls directly.
