You Run the Truck. OTW Runs the Load Desk.
Dedicated dispatch support for authorized motor carriers that want help sourcing loads, negotiating rates, managing broker paperwork, and keeping every shipment organized—while retaining final control over every load.
Dispatch Support Built Around Your Authority
OTW works as an extension of your operation. You set the lanes, equipment limits, minimums, and availability. We work the desk within those instructions.
Load Sourcing
Search approved load boards and broker contacts for freight that matches your equipment, lanes, schedule, and operating requirements.
Rate Negotiation
Negotiate load compensation and present the complete option to you for approval before booking.
Broker Review
Support broker setup, carrier packets, rate confirmations, and basic credit or payment-term review.
Load Coordination
Track appointments, relay shipment updates, and help keep communication organized from pickup through delivery.
Paperwork Support

Review Options
OTW sources and negotiates freight that fits your instructions, then presents the load details.
You Approve
Your carrier retains final authority to accept or reject every load. OTW does not force dispatch.
We Coordinate
After approval, OTW supports booking, broker paperwork, communication, and delivery documentation.
Clear Dispatch Boundaries
OTW Dispatch Services is designed to operate as the authorized motor carrier’s dispatch agent—not as an unlicensed freight broker.
- A written dispatch agreement appoints OTW to act under the carrier’s direction.
- The carrier retains control of load acceptance, lanes, pricing minimums, equipment, and operating decisions.
- OTW sources freight through brokers and does not solicit shippers directly for freight.
- OTW is paid only by the carrier under the written dispatch agreement and does not accept freight payments from brokers or factoring companies.
- OTW does not accept a shipment first, allocate it among carriers, or search the open carrier market for someone to move it.
- Service is subject to authority, insurance, safety, equipment, lane, and broker eligibility requirements.
