Owner-operator dispatch service
A dedicated dispatcher for your truck. Loads found and screened, rates negotiated, paperwork handled, and the final say on every load stays with you.
Who Sonex dispatches for
Sonex works with owner-operators and small carriers running Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, Step Deck, Box Truck and Hotshot equipment. The service is built around one truck or a small fleet, not a faceless pool of drivers.
The application asks whether you have an active MC number, a DOT number only, or no authority yet, along with your equipment, truck count and preferred lanes, so your dispatcher can plan correctly from the first call.
What you get
- Load finding screened for rate, deadhead and broker history, matched to your lanes and equipment.
- Rate negotiation that defends your time and your cost per mile.
- Paperwork and documents: rate confirmations, BOLs and invoices from booking to payment.
- 24/7 support for delays, reschedules, detention and delivery issues.
- Broker relations, including professional check calls and follow-through.
- IFTA reporting records that make quarterly filings easier.
What you keep
You approve every load. Sonex presents qualified options with the rate and details, and you say yes or no. Your truck, your schedule, your home time and your preferred lanes stay under your control. Sonex does not buy or sell freight; it is a dispatch service that represents the carrier when finding and negotiating freight from licensed brokers.
How to get started
- Apply online in four short steps on the home page, or call (346) 421-2681.
- Onboarding call of about 30 minutes to map your equipment, lanes, home time and revenue floor.
- Dispatch agreement and documents. Typical documents include your authority details, insurance certificate and W-9.
- First loads are typically planned within 24 hours once everything is complete.
An owner-operator dispatcher is a person or service that finds loads for an independent truck, negotiates rates with brokers, and handles paperwork such as rate confirmations, BOLs and invoicing, so the driver can focus on driving.
No. A broker arranges freight between shippers and carriers. A dispatch service like Sonex represents the carrier when finding and negotiating freight from licensed brokers, and does not take possession of the freight.
Sonex charges a transparent percentage of gross revenue on loads it books, as set out in your Dispatch Service Agreement. There are no setup fees. See the dispatch fees page for how dispatch pricing works.
