Dry Van Dispatch Services

Dry van is the busiest freight market in America — and the most competitive. RapidWay finds the loads that pay, negotiates the rate, books the round trip and handles the paperwork, so your van is loaded before you deliver the current one.

Why RapidWay Freight

Dry van pays when your dispatcher works harder than the load board

Anyone can grab the first van load on a board. RapidWay dispatchers build week-long round trips from live lane data, avoid the lanes that strand you, and negotiate every rate instead of accepting the posted one.

  • ✓No forced dispatch. Every load is offered, never assigned. You choose what you haul and when you go home.
  • ✓Transparent pricing. 5% of gross per load, agreed before you sign. No setup fee, no contract, no hidden charges.
  • ✓Dedicated dry van dispatcher. One person who knows your trailer, your lanes and your family schedule.
  • ✓24/7 support. Detention, breakdowns and 2 am reschedules are handled by a person, not a voicemail.
  • ✓Nationwide coverage. Consumer goods, retail, paper, packaging and industrial freight in all 48 states.
