Inside Dry Van Dispatch

The most common freight — run right, it's the most consistent.

Dry van is the backbone of the freight market, which means it's also the easiest lane to underprice yourself on if you're booking it alone. Nerva Dispatch checks current market rates on every lane before you commit, so you're paid what a dry van load is actually worth — not just the first number a broker throws out.

Why Nerva

What Dry Van Carriers Get From Us

Steady freight only stays steady if someone's watching the lanes and the rates for you.

Rate-Checked Every Load

We compare live market rates before you commit, so a routine dry van load doesn't quietly become a below-market one.

Consistent Lane Matching

We learn your preferred regions and home-time needs, then prioritize freight that keeps you running lanes you actually want.

Paperwork Handled

Rate confirmations, BOLs, and invoicing tracked for every load — nothing sits waiting on you to file it.

Check Calls Covered

We field the status update calls from brokers and shippers so you're not stopping mid-drive to answer them.

Broker Relationships

We work with a wide network of brokers and shippers who book dry van freight consistently, not just when it's convenient for them.

One Dispatcher, Every Load

The same dispatcher learns your truck and your preferences instead of you re-explaining your setup every time.

Dry van pays best when the gap between loads stays short.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dry Van Dispatch Questions

Do I need my own authority for dry van dispatch?

Yes. Nerva Dispatch works with owner-operators and small fleets running their own MC authority — we handle the dispatch side, you keep control of the business.

How do you make sure I'm not underpaid on a load?

We check current market rates on the lane before presenting any load, so you're negotiating from real numbers instead of guessing.

Can I say no to a load you find?

Always. We bring you vetted, negotiated options — you make the final call on what you run.

What if I also want to run reefer or flatbed sometimes?

No problem. Let your dispatcher know your equipment and we'll match freight across whatever you're set up to run.

How fast can I start getting dry van loads?

Most carriers are running their first load within a few days of signing up, once we have your documents and preferred lanes.
