What's Included

Everything this service covers.

Part of your flat dispatch fee, no separate charges, no surprises.

Live Lane Benchmarking

We pull current DAT and Truckstop averages for your exact lane before every call, so your counter is backed by data, not a guess.

Every Broker Countered

No load is booked at the first number. We negotiate rate, fuel, and accessorials on every rate confirmation.

Backhaul Planning

We plan outbound and return together so you bill loaded miles instead of deadheading home empty.

Accessorial Capture

Detention, layover, TONU, and lumper pay negotiated onto the rate con up front, not begged for later.

Weekly Lane Strategy

We build a connected week around your home time and preferred regions instead of chasing one load at a time.

Market Timing

We know which lanes tighten and when, so we hold for the stronger rate when the market supports it.

How We Negotiate

We never take the first number.

Brokers open low because most carriers accept it. We do the opposite: benchmark the lane, counter with data, and walk from freight that does not pay. Over a week of loads, those counters compound into real money.

How does freight rate negotiation work?

Freight rate negotiation means countering the broker's first offer with a number backed by live market data. We check the current average rate for your exact lane on DAT and Truckstop, factor in fuel and accessorials, and counter every load, because the first number a broker offers is almost never their best. Across a full week of loads, those counters add up to a meaningfully higher paycheck.

Why load planning matters as much as the rate

A high rate on a load that strands you 300 empty miles from the next one is not a win. We plan your week as connected lanes, pairing outbound freight with a paying backhaul and building around your home time, so your cost per mile drops while your revenue per mile climbs. Rate and routing are the same job.

Questions

Yes. We never book at the first offer. Every load is countered using live lane data on rate, fuel surcharge, and accessorials like detention and layover.
We pull current averages from DAT Power and Truckstop.com for your specific origin, destination, and equipment, then benchmark the broker's offer against that before we respond.
We bring you the options with the numbers and our recommendation, and you approve every load. We will not push cheap freight to earn a fast commission, that is the opposite of how we work.
Yes. Rate negotiation and weekly load planning are core to our flat dispatch fee. There is no separate charge.
