How much to charge for your service? Well, it depends...

Independent dispatch service: you don’t need your own trucking MC to start. You represent carriers and charge a dispatch fee.
Fee structures vary: 1% to 10% is common, depending on: Your experience
How many trucks you dispatch, whether the carrier is new or established, the complexity of the load and the market
Example: If you’re starting with a carrier that has one truck, you may charge toward the higher end (8–10% or a flat fee) because you’re taking on more setup work. As the carrier grows (3–6 trucks, then more), your rate per truck can adjust downward if it’s more scalable.
