Who is Fifth Wheel Dispatch LLC?
Fifth Wheel Dispatch LLC is a United States truck dispatch company headquartered at 11816 Inwood Rd, Dallas, TX 75244. We work exclusively with owner-operators and small fleets — the carriers who do not have an in-house dispatch department and cannot afford to spend their driving hours scrolling load boards.
We are not a broker and we are not a middleman on your rate. We work on your authority, under your insurance, and represent your trucking company to brokers and shippers. Your MC number stays yours, your customer relationships stay yours, and your rate confirmations are issued to your carrier name.
Our team runs on one simple idea: a dispatcher should pay for themselves. If we are not finding you better-paying freight than you would find alone, and saving you the hours it takes to find it, we have not done our job.
What Fifth Wheel Dispatch does for your truck
Dispatch is more than sending a load offer. Here is the full scope of work we take off your plate every week:
- Load searching across paid load boards, broker relationships and direct shipper leads
- Rate negotiation on every single load — never take the posted rate at face value
- Broker and shipper carrier packet setup, including references and W-9 handling
- Rate confirmation review so hidden detention, TONU and lumper terms do not surprise you
- Route and trip planning that accounts for hours of service, fuel stops and reload potential
- Check calls and tracking updates so you are not stuck on the phone with brokers
- Paperwork support: BOLs, PODs, invoicing packets and factoring submissions
- Deadhead reduction and backhaul planning to keep your revenue per mile high
13 equipment types we dispatch
We are not a dry-van-only shop. Our dispatchers are trained by trailer type, because a step deck with a tall load and a hopper bottom hauling grain are two completely different businesses.
| Equipment | Typical freight we book | Why carriers use us |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Van | Retail, packaged goods, paper, general freight | Consistent lanes and steady reloads |
| Reefer | Produce, frozen and temp-controlled food | Temp-sensitive appointment management |
| Flatbed | Steel, lumber, building materials | Tarp and securement pay negotiated |
| Step Deck | Tall machinery, equipment, coils | Clearance and route planning |
| RGN | Excavators, dozers, heavy machinery | Permit and dimension screening |
| Lowboy | Superload and heavy haul equipment | Escort and pilot car coordination |
| Box Truck | LTL, expedite, last mile freight | Non-CDL friendly load sourcing |
| Hotshot | Small equipment, partial loads, urgent freight | High turn, high rate-per-mile lanes |
| Power Only | Preloaded drop-and-hook trailers | Trailer pool and drop yard access |
| Tanker | Food grade and non-hazmat liquids | Wash-out and endorsement matching |
| Car Hauler | 3-car to 10-car vehicle loads | Damage claim documentation process |
| End Dump | Aggregate, sand, asphalt, demo debris | Regional short-haul volume |
| Hopper Bottom | Grain, feed, fertilizer, bulk commodities | Seasonal harvest lane planning |
Our pricing: 5%, 4% or hybrid
Dispatch pricing should be readable in ten seconds. Ours is.

| Fleet Dispatch | 4% of gross | Fleets running 3 or more trucks |
| Hybrid Dispatch | $49.99 per truck weekly + 3.5% | High-revenue trucks wanting a lower percentage |
