Dispatch Fee Structure

The More You Gross, the Less You Pay

Tiered percentage based on weekly gross. You scale up, your dispatch fee scales down as a % of revenue — and your net climbs.

High-mileage operators. Premium volume = premium full-stack support and routing.
Why our % isn't the cheapest — and why you'll still net more: We're not a load broker. We run full Amazon operations: 24/7 dispatch in 3 shifts, ELD management, accounting, dispute handling, Amazon compliance. The goal isn't lowest %. It's highest weekly net. Higher RPM + fast hook-and-drop turns = drivers consistently net more than they would chasing spot-market loads with a cut-rate broker.
What's Included In Dispatch

You Bring the Truck. We Bring the Operation.

Every percentage point includes the full Davy Jones Trucking stack — not just load booking.

24/7 Dispatch · 3 Shifts

Someone always picks up the phone — overnight, weekends, holidays. Real people, three rotating shifts.

Amazon Compliance

We handle Amazon's documentation, scorecards, appointment requirements, and partner relations so you never miss a load.

UIIA-Compliant Insurance

High-coverage insurance program that gets you into railyards other carriers can't access. More lane options, less downtime.

ELD Management

Hours-of-service planning. Realistic load assignments. No bouncing logs. Compliance team monitors so you stay legal.

Accounting & Settlements

Weekly settlements, clear breakdowns, on-time pay. Dedicated accounting team — separate from dispatch.

Dispute Handling

Detention, claims, billing issues — we fight for your money. We don't pass disputes back to you and walk away.

Hook & Drop Loads Only

100% Amazon hook-and-drop. No live load. No live unload. No detention waiting. Drop & roll.

Flexible Load Choice

No forced dispatch. Skip CT/MA if you want. Run more if you want. You drive your business — we keep loads coming.

Regional Routing

NJ, MD, PA, DE, VA, OH only. No nationwide OTR. Higher RPM than long-haul. You stay closer to home.

Transparent Weekly Costs

No Surprises. Here's What You Pay.

We believe in being upfront with our operators. Every line item is on the table — so you can run your business with real numbers, not estimates.

  • Insurance billed as $700/week for 3 weeks each month — easier on weekly cash flow than a lump-sum monthly bill.
  • ELD & IFTA included as flat weekly fees — no surprise filings, no per-mile fuel-tax math.
  • Dispatch % deducted from gross at the tier you fall into that week — no flat minimums.

Why Owner-Operators Switch to Davy Jones Trucking

3-Shift Dispatch

Dispatch is staffed in three rotating shifts. There's always someone awake who can re-route you, fix a delivery problem, or get you the next load.

100% Amazon Hook & Drop

No live loading. No detention. No dock-door waiting. Drop a loaded trailer, grab another, roll. Every cycle, every week.

UIIA Railyard Access

Our insurance is UIIA-compliant — meaning we can pull from railyards most carriers can't enter. More lanes. More options. Less dead miles.

No Forced Dispatch

Don't run CT or MA? Skip them. Want to push 5,000 miles this week? Go. You decide your week — we keep the loads coming.

Flexible Home Time

You run your business on your schedule. The more you stay out, the more you earn. Want to take 5 days? Take 5 days. We'll be here.

Higher Weekly Net

Higher dispatch %, but higher Amazon RPM, no detention loss, and full-stack support means net pay is consistently higher than spot.

Common Questions

What Owner-Operators Ask Before Partnering

Why is your dispatch % higher than other companies?
Because we're not a load broker. Most brokers charge 6–8% and just book loads. We run full Amazon operations — 24/7 dispatch in 3 shifts, ELD compliance, accounting, dispute handling, Amazon partner relations. The right number to compare isn't dispatch %. It's weekly net. Amazon RPM + hook-and-drop turns + full-stack support consistently puts more cash in our partners' pockets than the spot market.
What do I actually pay each week?
Dispatch % comes out of each load gross at the tier you fall into that week (11/13/15%). Plus flat weekly fees: $100 ELD, $50 IFTA, and $700 insurance for 3 weeks of each month (= $2,100/mo). That's it. No hidden fees, no per-mile charges, no setup costs.
Do I need my own MC# and authority?
We work with both authorities. Many of our partners run under their own MC# with our dispatch and insurance support. Some lease on under Davy Jones Trucking authority. Apply and we'll walk you through both options.
Can I refuse loads I don't want?
Yes — no forced dispatch. Don't want to run CT or MA? Skip them. Don't want a particular lane today? Tell dispatch. You're a business owner, not an employee. We just keep the next load ready.
How do settlements and pay work?
Weekly settlements with a clear line-item breakdown — gross, dispatch %, ELD, IFTA, insurance, net. Our accounting team is separate from dispatch, so questions get answered fast by people who know the numbers.
What if my truck breaks down mid-load?
Call dispatch — we have shop relationships in MD and NJ if you're nearby, plus a partner network for emergencies. We also handle the customer side: communicating delays, rescheduling deliveries, protecting your Amazon scorecard while you get repaired.
What kind of equipment do I need?
Modern, well-maintained Class 8 tractor with proper Amazon-compliant ELD. Reefer not required — we run dry hook-and-drop. Tell us your truck specs when you apply and we'll confirm fit.
