For Independent Dispatchers

Start Your Truck Dispatching Business on Tacit OS

One platform to launch and run your dispatch operation — loads, carrier clients, drivers, invoicing, and books. Then get listed in our Hire-a-Pro directory so carriers hire you through the app, and earn referral commissions on top.

The Tacit OS dispatcher path

Launch → run → get hired → earn. Every step happens inside the same platform, so the carriers you work with see a dispatcher who already operates on the tools they use.

Step 1

Launch free

Create a free Tacit OS account and choose the Dispatcher role. You get your own dispatch command center — no carrier account required, built for independents managing multiple carriers.

Create free account
Step 2

Run the business

Research loads with HaulCheck, book and track them, manage carrier clients and drivers, and handle the money side — invoicing, expenses, payroll, and P&L — without leaving the platform.

Step 3

Get listed & get hired

Apply from your profile to become a Tacit OS Approved Dispatcher in the public Hire-a-Pro directory — carriers browse it when they need dispatch help and contact you directly. You can also apply to dispatcher openings on the job board.

Reports & Analytics

Revenue month-to-date, pending invoices, load counts, and performance reporting for your dispatch operation.

Hire a Human

Become a Tacit OS Approved Dispatcher

Carriers on Tacit OS don't just get software — when they want a human running their dispatch, they browse our public Hire-a-Pro directory. Getting listed puts your name, services, rates, and contact info in front of them, with an "approved by Tacit OS" stamp behind it.

  • Apply from your profile once your account is active
  • Every application is reviewed and approved by our team
  • Carriers contact you directly — no middleman, no placement fee
  • Also apply to dispatcher openings carriers post on the job board
Why approval matters

Anyone can call themselves a dispatcher. Carriers trust the directory because every listing belongs to a real, reachable professional with an active account, reviewed by hand before it goes live — and because dispatchers who run their business on Tacit OS already work the way their carriers do.

Bonus: the affiliate program

Refer the carriers you talk to every day and earn a 10% recurring commission for up to 6 billing periods per referral once you're approved as an affiliate. Apply here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a truck dispatching business?

Start by learning the freight market, then set up the business basics — an LLC or sole proprietorship, a dispatch service agreement, and your rates (independent dispatchers commonly charge a percentage of gross or a flat fee per truck). Then get your operating platform in place: with Tacit OS you sign up free as a Dispatcher and get a dispatch command center for managing carrier clients, booking loads, assigning drivers, invoicing, and accounting from day one.

What software do I need to run a dispatch business?

You need load management, carrier client management, driver coordination, invoicing, and bookkeeping. Most new dispatchers stitch this together from spreadsheets and separate apps — Tacit OS puts all of it in one dispatcher account: a load board workflow with HaulCheck research, client and driver management, real-time tracking, and a full accounting suite with invoicing, expenses, and P&L reporting.

How much does it cost to run a dispatch business on Tacit OS?

You can start free. The Dispatcher Free plan includes basic HaulCheck load research and a starter profile. Dispatch Pro is $199/month and adds carrier client management, load conversion, documents, and billing. Dispatch Agency Suite is $399/month for multi-client agencies with team assignment and advanced reporting.

How do independent dispatchers find carrier clients?

Two ways built into Tacit OS: apply to be listed in the Hire-a-Pro directory — where carriers browse approved dispatchers and contact them directly — and apply to dispatcher openings carriers post on the Tacit OS job board. Both require an active account, and directory listings are manually reviewed and approved by the Tacit OS team.

Can dispatchers earn extra income as a Tacit OS affiliate?

Yes. Dispatchers who refer carriers to Tacit OS can apply to the affiliate program and earn a 10% recurring commission on what referred carriers pay, for up to 6 billing periods per referral. It's a natural fit — dispatchers already work with carriers every day.
