Owner-operators
One truck, your authority, your rules. You keep control of which loads you take and what you'll run for.
Freight dispatching
You own the authority. We run the desk.
Dispatch for owner-operators and small fleets running under their own MC number. We find the freight, negotiate the rate, chase the paperwork and keep the wheels turning — while every load, every rate and every decision stays yours to approve.
Try us for 7 days, free
If you qualify, we'll dispatch you for a week at no charge so you can see the loads and the rates before you commit to anything. No card, no auto-billing. At the end of the week you decide — and if you walk, you walk.
To qualify you need your own active FMCSA operating authority and current insurance. Call and we'll check it with you in a couple of minutes.
We are a dispatch service, not a freight broker.
Fordine Solutions works exclusively as your agent, under a written dispatch
agreement, for carriers who hold their own active FMCSA operating authority. We do not hold
broker authority and we never contract with shippers. Our fee is agreed with you in writing
and you always see the full rate confirmation — we never buy a load and resell it to you at
a markup. Read the full disclosures.
Who we dispatch
Built for carriers who already have their own authority.
If your MC number is active and your truck is insured, we can start working your lanes. If you're still a company driver, or your authority isn't live yet, we'll tell you straight — we can't dispatch you, and we won't take your money pretending otherwise.
Small fleets
Two to fifteen trucks, where nobody has time to sit on a load board all day and still run the office.
Equipment we cover
Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, box truck, hotshot and power only. Tell us what you pull and where you won't go.
What we handle
Everything that happens between loads.
The driving is yours. The rest of it — the searching, the haggling, the setup packets, the detention nobody wants to chase — is what you're paying us to take off your plate.
Load sourcing
We work the major load boards and our broker relationships to find freight that fits your equipment, your lanes and the home time you asked for.
Rate negotiation
We negotiate on your behalf, with current market data behind us. We'll tell you when a lane is soft and when a broker is lowballing you.
Broker vetting
Before you roll, we check the broker's credit, days-to-pay and bond status against public records. The load that never pays is worse than the load you never took.
Carrier packets & rate cons
We complete broker setup packets, handle the rate confirmation, and make sure the paperwork matches the load before your wheels turn.
Trip planning
Routing that respects your hours, your fuel stops and the bridges your trailer won't fit under. We watch weather, construction and traffic on the lane, and plan the reload before you deliver where the market allows.
Permit coordination
We flag when a load needs an oversize, overweight or state-specific permit before you commit to it, and handle the paperwork with you. The permit is issued to you and the route stays your call.
Settlement statements
A clear statement per load and per week — what you ran, what it paid, what came off, and what's still outstanding. So you know what the truck actually earned without rebuilding it from rate cons.
Document management
Rate cons, BOLs, PODs, scale tickets and lumper receipts kept in order and matched to the load they belong to. When a broker disputes a charge nine weeks later, the paperwork is already there.
Invoicing & detention
We assemble the invoice packet, submit it where it needs to go, and chase detention, layover and lumper reimbursement that would otherwise get written off.
Check calls & tracking
We take the broker's check calls so you don't have to answer the phone at 3am. Updates go out on time, every time, which is half of why brokers re-book a carrier.
Paperwork for your factor
If you use a factoring company, we get them a clean packet — signed rate con, BOL, PODs and accessorial backup — so your invoice doesn't sit in a non-compliance queue.
Not sure it's worth it?
Tell us your last four weeks — miles run, gross, and how many hours you spent booking. If we don't think we can improve on it, we'll say so on the call.
Start onboardingStraight answers
What we won't do, and why.
Plenty of dispatch services sell authority packages and insurance alongside dispatch. Some of them are licensed for it. Many aren't. We've drawn the line where the law draws it, and we'd rather you hear it from us up front than find out during an audit.
Everything below is something we'll happily point you toward a properly licensed provider for. We just won't pretend we're that provider.

How we operate
Five things we hold ourselves to.
Transparency
You see the rate confirmation we see. Our fee is agreed up front and it's the only thing we make on your freight — nothing buried in the middle, no "the broker only had this much." If we negotiated it, you'll know what we negotiated.
Your truck, your call
Nothing gets booked without your approval. You can turn down a load, a lane or a broker for any reason, and you'll never hear about it again.
One dispatcher
The same person learns your equipment, your home time and the lanes you actually make money on. You won't re-explain yourself to a queue.
We answer
Breakdowns and detention don't keep business hours. Neither does the phone you call when you're sitting at a dock.
Honest about fit
If your authority is too new for the brokers worth hauling for, or your lanes don't support what you need to earn, we'll tell you on the first call rather than bill you to find out.
Ready to see the loads?
Onboarding takes about fifteen minutes of your time, and we can usually have you booked within a day of paperwork clearing.
Get dispatchedGetting started
Four steps from first call to first load.
Tell us about your truck
Equipment, authority date, lanes you run, where you won't go, and what you need to gross a week.
Send the packet
Authority letter, certificate of insurance, W-9 and a voided cheque, through a secure link we send you — never by email.
Sign the dispatch agreement
Plain English. What we do, what we charge, and the fact that you can cancel. This is also the document that makes us your agent rather than a broker.
We start booking
You approve every load before it's covered. First one usually inside 24 hours of the paperwork clearing.
Questions carriers ask
The ones that come up on every first call
Yes. We dispatch carriers who hold their own active FMCSA operating authority and their own insurance. That's what makes this a dispatch relationship rather than brokering.
If you don't have authority yet, we're not the right first call — you'll need to get set up before anyone can dispatch you. We don't file authority and we don't sell insurance, so we'd just be pointing you elsewhere.
No, and the difference matters. A freight broker arranges transportation on behalf of shippers and needs FMCSA broker authority and a $75,000 surety bond to do it legally.
We work the other side: we're your agent, under a written dispatch agreement, acting for you and paid by you. We never contract with shippers, and we never take a hidden margin — our fee is the one you agreed to, and you see the rate confirmation it came from.
A percentage of the loads we book for you, paid by you, agreed in writing before you sign anything. It scales with what we actually earn you rather than charging the same whether we find you a good week or a bad one.
Three things change the number: whether you want standard coverage or a dedicated dispatcher on call around the clock, how many trucks we're running, and the kind of freight you want sourced. Fleets are priced per truck. We quote it on the call once we know what you're running, and the exact figures live in your dispatch agreement — not on a webpage, because a rate that fits an owner-operator hauling dry van doesn't fit a five-truck flatbed outfit.
What never changes: you see the full rate confirmation on every load. Our percentage is the only thing we make on your freight. We don't buy a load and resell it to you at a markup — that spread is what would make us a broker instead of a dispatcher, and we don't cross it.
We can introduce you to factoring companies and we'll prepare your invoice packets so they're accepted first time — signed rate confirmation, BOL, PODs and accessorial backup, organised the way factors want them.
What we don't do is factor your invoices ourselves or advance you money. We're not a factor and we're not a lender. If we ever receive a referral fee from a factoring company for introducing you, we'll tell you before you sign with them.
There's a written dispatch agreement, because that document is what establishes we're acting as your agent. But it doesn't tie you up — the notice period is in the agreement in plain English, and you'll have read it before you sign.
You do, every time. We bring you the load, the rate and what we know about the broker. Nothing gets covered until you say yes. It's your authority on the line, so it's your call.
Seven free days. Then you decide.
Call and we'll check in a couple of minutes whether you qualify. If you do, we start dispatching this week — no charge, no card, nothing to cancel.
Dispatch service for authorized motor carriers. Not a freight broker. Trial requires active operating authority and current insurance.
