Truck Dispatching

Owner-operators lose driving hours to load boards, broker calls and unpaid invoices. Our dispatchers take that work off your plate — finding better-paying loads, negotiating rates and handling the paperwork while you drive. We manage everything between pickup and payment.

Who We Are

A dispatch partner built for owner-operators

Ridgeback Haulage Co is a dedicated freight-dispatch company built for owner-operators and small fleets running across the continental United States. Our dispatchers hold the line on two things that decide your week: the rate on every load and the number of loaded miles behind it.

Each carrier is assigned a single point of contact who monitors your hours, your lanes and your costs — then books freight that fits. That continuity removes the inefficiency of re-explaining your operation to a stranger every Monday, and it compounds into better load selection over time.

  • Dedicated dispatcher — one person who knows your truck, lanes and rate floor.
  • No forced dispatch — you approve every load before it is booked.
  • Back-office included — billing, documents and compliance in one place.

How We Work
Our Dispatch Workflow

Three steps between your first call and your first loaded mile.

1

Onboarding and Dispatch Setup

Tell us your MC, equipment type, preferred lanes and rate floor. We set up broker packets, factoring and insurance certificates in days.

2

Dedicated Dispatcher Assignment

A dispatcher is assigned with full context on your lanes, hours and home-time needs — and stays with you for the long haul.

3

Load Evaluation and Rate Negotiation

Each load is assessed against real-time market data before you ever see it. Only freight meeting your approved rate and lane criteria is presented.

Start the Process

A service that manages load booking, rate negotiation, broker communication and operational paperwork so carriers can focus on driving instead of load hunting.

By negotiating above first-offer rates, cutting empty miles and keeping your truck loaded with vetted brokers — most carriers see higher weekly gross within the first month.

No. There is no forced dispatch — you approve every load, and we only present freight that meets your rate floor and lane preferences.

With factoring set up through us, most carriers are paid within 24 hours of delivering with a clean POD. Standard broker terms run 21–30 days.

No upfront fees and no long-term lock-in. Dispatch is a flat percentage of linehaul, billed weekly — if we don't book you, you don't pay us.

Most carriers run their first dispatched load within 2–3 business days of onboarding — same day if your packets are already set up.
