- Invoicing when you get to it
Why choose us
Compare us honestly against your current dispatcher — or against doing it yourself. If we cannot beat what you have, we will tell you on the first call.
The short answer
No forced dispatch means you are never penalised for turning a load down. Every load is offered — you see the rate, the lane and the broker before anything is booked, and you approve it. MSM Transit puts that in the agreement rather than describing it as a culture.
The commitment carriers ask about most
It is the single most searched-for promise in dispatch, and the one most often made verbally and broken quietly. Here is the version we will sign.
Worth asking any dispatcher you are considering: what happens, concretely, the third time I decline a load? A service built around forced dispatch cannot answer that cleanly.

The comparison
Our commitments
Ask any dispatch company you are considering to do the same. The answer tells you a lot.
Every load is presented with the rate, broker, lane and appointment before booking. You approve. That is not a policy we advertise — it is written into the agreement.
You get a person with a direct line and a briefed backup, and who manages no more than 4 trucks at a time — written into the agreement, so the phone gets answered.
Every negotiation starts from live lane benchmarks. We show you the market number and the number we got you.
Nights, weekends and holidays are covered by people, not voicemail. We already run fleet operations around the clock, which is why a one-truck carrier gets the same desk.
One percentage of gross on booked loads, with accessorials like detention, layover and TONU left out of it. No setup fee, no monthly minimum, no per-load surcharge, no charge on a week you do not run.
Broker relationships, documents and performance history are yours. Leave whenever you want and take the full archive with you.
Empty miles are measured on every load and reported weekly. Most dispatchers never show you this number because it is not flattering.
Dispatch, documents, billing and compliance sit in one operation. Nothing gets lost in the handoff between vendors.
What we will not do
Any company that claims no limits is selling you something. Here is where we stop.
