Carriers
Built for the people who own the trucks
Owner-operators on their own authority, and owners running a few trucks. If you’re the one on the phone at 2 AM, Rudy is built for you.

So owners pick one
Do it yourself or pay for it. Rudy is the third way.
Dispatch it yourself
Your nights and weekends
Hours on the phone with brokers, from the cab or from bed at 2 AM.
Pay a dispatcher
8% of every load
About $50,000 a year on 4 trucks*.
Rudy from Dispatch
Rules once, then one tap
Built to find the load, call the broker and ask you before big money.
* Estimate: a typical 8% dispatch fee on roughly $625,000 a year of freight across 4 trucks. Not a survey figure.
Fit
Where it fits, and where it doesn’t
A good fit
- You run spot freight off the load boards
- You’re on your own authority
- You dispatch yourself, often at night
- Or you pay a dispatcher a cut of every load
Not built for
- Brokers
- Dispatch works for the carrier. It isn’t a brokerage tool.
- Dedicated freight
- If every truck runs a fixed contract, there’s no spot load to find.
- Leased on
- If the carrier you’re leased to dispatches you, the load comes from them.
