Dispatch for Small Fleets and Small Trucking Companies
Every truck planned on its own lanes and home time, with one point of contact for the owner.
What is small fleet dispatch from Texas Solutions?
Texas Solutions dispatches small fleets and small trucking companies with roughly 2 to 10 trucks. Each truck is planned on its own equipment, lanes and driver home time, and the owner gets one point of contact and a weekly summary. The fee is per truck: 5% of weekly gross for semis, 8% for hotshots and 10% for box trucks, with no fleet setup fee.
Our dispatch services for small trucking companies are built around the owner. As a dispatch service for small fleets, we plan every truck separately. Running a few trucks is a different job from running one. The owner ends up dispatching at night, answering drivers and chasing invoices instead of growing the business. A dispatch team takes the daily load search and broker calls off your desk while you stay in control of rates and lanes.
Mixed fleets are normal for us. A company can run a dry van, a reefer and two box trucks, and each truck still gets freight that fits its equipment and its driver's schedule.
When you add a truck, we add it to the plan. There is no extra setup fee and no long-term contract, and the first load on a new truck is planned with you before it is booked.

Small Fleet Dispatch questions
How is dispatch priced for a fleet?
Per truck, as a percentage of that truck's weekly gross: 5% for semis, 8% for hotshots and 10% for box trucks and straight trucks. A truck that does not run that week pays nothing.
Do my drivers talk to the dispatcher directly?
Yes, if you want them to. Many fleet owners have drivers call the dispatcher for load details and updates, while the owner approves rates and lanes.
What makes a good dispatch company for a small fleet?
Clear percentage pricing with no setup fee, no long-term contract, people you can reach day and night, and paperwork handled along with the loads. Ask any dispatch company how they plan multiple trucks so they do not compete for the same freight.
How much does a truck dispatcher cost?
At Texas Solutions, semi trucks pay 5% of weekly gross, hotshots 8%, and box trucks and straight trucks 10%, for OTR operations. There is no flat rate, no setup fee and no monthly subscription. On a typical semi grossing $8,000-$10,000 a week, that is about $400-$500 a week.
Is Texas Solutions a freight broker?
No. Texas Solutions is a truck dispatch service that works for the carrier. We are not a motor carrier or freight broker. Loads are booked under your own authority, and you approve every load before it is booked.
