DISPATCH SUPPORT BUILT AROUND YOUR EQUIPMENT.

Different equipment means different freight, different operating considerations, and different dispatch decisions. AS Logistics Pro tailors the search and coordination process around how your truck actually operates.

DRY VAN

A dry van is a fully enclosed trailer used for general, non-temperature-controlled freight. It's the most common equipment type on the road, hauling everything from palletized goods to boxed retail freight.

DISPATCH CONSIDERATIONS

  • Trailer length and capacity
  • Dock requirements at pickup/delivery
  • Appointment timing
  • Live load/unload vs. drop-and-hook where applicable
  • Deadhead to and from the load
  • Destination market strength

LOAD EVALUATION

  • Loaded miles
  • Deadhead
  • Rate and effective RPM
  • Pickup/delivery timing
  • Destination
  • Market/reload positioning
  • Equipment compatibility

HOW AS LOGISTICS PRO SUPPORTS IT

We search dry van freight matching your trailer length and lanes, negotiate rates, review broker information, and coordinate pickup and delivery details - the same core dispatch process across load sourcing, negotiation, evaluation, broker communication, and coordination.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS

We don't have universal access to all dry van freight - availability depends on the market, lane, and season. Freight availability, rates, and broker performance are not guaranteed.

WHY EQUIPMENT MATTERS

THE SAME LOAD DOESN'T FIT EVERY TRUCK.

Equipment influences far more than what you can physically haul - it shapes lane suitability, timing, rates, operating costs, and where a load leaves your truck. Dispatch strategy should account for more than just the gross rate.

LOAD FIT

BEFORE A LOAD IS PRESENTED, QUESTIONS MAY INCLUDE:

Does the freight fit the equipment?
Are dimensions/weight compatible?
Is the pickup practical?
Is delivery timing realistic?
How much deadhead is involved?
What is the effective RPM?
Are there equipment-specific requirements?
Where does the load leave the truck?

Representative, not a guarantee that every listed factor can always be verified.

EQUIPMENT ECONOMICS
