26 ft box trucks only
Box truck dispatch for 26-footers, booked only when you say yes
We dispatch 26 ft box trucks, and nothing shorter, not even a foot. That focus is the point: we know the partials, final mile and expedited freight a 26-footer can win, and the payload line it can't cross. Every load comes to your phone to confirm or pass, and the rate con goes straight to you. 7% of gross, no setup fee.

How much weight can a 26 ft box truck carry?
Legal payload is your GVWR minus what the truck weighs empty with fuel, driver and gear. Most non-CDL 26-footers are rated just under 26,001 lb GVWR. Put in your numbers and the load you're offered.
Weigh the truck empty and fueled at a certified scale for the real curb weight. Spec sheets are often light.

26ft box truck dispatcher: the freight we book
A 26 ft box with a liftgate can work freight that bigger trucks can't get close to. These are the loads we look for first.
Partials and LTL-size loads
A few pallets going the same direction. Often stack two or three partials into one profitable run.
Final mile
Store, home and job-site deliveries where a 53 ft trailer won't fit or isn't allowed.
Expedited
Time-critical freight that pays for speed. Short notice, tight windows, good rates when it's real.
Job-site and supply runs
Fixtures, tools and building supplies to construction sites and supply houses, often with liftgate delivery.
Retail and event freight
Store resets, displays and event gear, often scheduled and repeatable.
Relocation and furniture
Commercial moves and furniture deliveries, where a liftgate and a pallet jack matter.
What we check before a box truck load reaches your phone
- 01
Weight vs your payload
The load weight against your legal payload, with room to spare. Over the line means we don't offer it.
- 02
Fit on the deck
Pallet count, stacking and dimensions against a 26 ft box, so you don't show up to freight that won't close the door.
- 03
Liftgate and dock
Whether pickup and delivery have docks or need your liftgate and a pallet jack.
- 04
Touch or no touch
Who loads and unloads. Driver assist gets called out up front, and priced, not discovered at the door.
- 05
Appointments
Pickup and delivery windows that work with your hours and the next load.
- 06
The reload
What's near the delivery, so a good load out doesn't turn into a long empty ride back.
“Box truck loads pay too little.”
Some do, and we pass on those. The ones worth taking usually combine a fair rate with low deadhead, a liftgate premium or a stacked partial. On an EXAMPLE $780 load, our 7% fee is $55 and you keep $725 before fuel. If the math doesn't work for you, you pass. Nothing gets booked without your yes.
Box truck dispatch service questions
How much does box truck dispatch cost?
7% of the gross on loads you haul, at any authority age. It drops to 4% per truck once you run two or more trucks. No setup fee, no monthly minimum, and nothing on weeks you don't haul.
Do you dispatch box trucks under 26 ft?
No. We dispatch 26 ft box trucks only, nothing shorter. The freight, brokers and rates we work are built around the 26-footer. If you're moving up from a smaller box, apply once the 26 ft truck is ready and we'll put it to work.
How much weight can a 26 ft box truck carry?
It depends on the truck. Subtract the curb weight with fuel, driver and gear from the GVWR on the door sticker. Many non-CDL 26-footers are rated just under 26,001 lb GVWR, but curb weights vary a lot with body, liftgate and reefer unit. Weigh yours empty and fueled to know your real number.
Does a 26 ft box truck need a CDL?
Only if its GVWR is 26,001 lb or more (49 CFR 383.5), or it hauls placarded hazmat. Most 26-footers are rated just under the line so they can be driven without one. Check the door sticker, or use our CDL checker.
Can you dispatch a new MC box truck?
Yes. Some brokers won't set up an authority under 30 to 90 days, so a new MC takes more calls, but plenty of box truck brokers work with new carriers. The rate is 7% either way.
Will you force me to take loads?
No. Every load is offered to you first with the lane, weight, rate and appointment times. You confirm or pass. When you confirm, the broker sends the rate con straight to you.
Do you dispatch cargo vans or sprinter vans?
No. We don't dispatch cargo vans or sprinter vans. For box trucks, we dispatch 26-footers only.
Every rate tier is on the fee schedule.
One 26-footer, one simple fee
No setup fee. No contract. No haul, no pay.
