Why this exists

The trucking industry leaks money in places
no other software is fixing.

$0B
lost to driver detention every year (ATRI 2024)
Owner-operators lose 117–209 hours annually waiting at docks. Worth $7,600–13,600 per driver per year.
0%
of US carriers operate 10 or fewer trucks
Enterprise TMS platforms cost $500–3,000/month. None of them are built for the operations of small fleets.
0%
average deadhead miles industry-wide
Every empty mile is fuel and time with zero revenue. Most dispatchers have no tool to plan backhauls automatically.

DispatchPilot was built specifically for the 91.5%. Real numbers, plain language, no enterprise pricing.

What it does

Everything you need to run dispatch.
Some things no one else has.

Nobody else has this

Detention auto-billing

The timer starts when your driver arrives. At 1h 45m, your dispatcher is notified. At 2h 00m, the broker gets an automatic email. When the driver leaves, the detention invoice is generated and added to the load — without anyone touching a button.

$7,600–13,600 per driver per year recovered
Unique

Live cost-per-mile calculator

Every load card shows your real cost floor next to the offered rate, using today's diesel price. Red means losing money. Green means run it.

Broker fraud check

Auto-verifies every broker's MC# against FMCSA before you book the load. Red flags slow payers and known fraud schemes.

SMS driver chatbot

Your drivers text plain English. The AI parses status updates, dispatches loads, sends BOLs and reminders, and escalates to you when something's wrong.

DAT live load board

DAT loads ranked by AI profitability score, market rate comparison shown on every result. One click creates the dispatch record.

Pro & up

"Assign load 1043 to Khan." Done. Voice-driven dispatch for when your hands are busy.

The AI runs entire workflows end-to-end at your chosen autonomy level — from suggesting actions to running dispatch hands-free.

BOL, Invoice, IFTA

Generate, download, email, and track every document. Auto-fills from load data. POD chase built in.

The detention auto-billing alone paid for the subscription on day one. I'd been losing $400–500 a week and just accepting it. Now I get every dollar.

I was paying $79/mo for a TMS that did less than DispatchPilot's $29 plan. The SMS chatbot handles 80% of my driver communication automatically.

The white-label dispatcher tier is a game-changer. I run 8 carriers under my brand. Looks like I built the platform myself.
