Been in this industry long enough to see a lot of dispatch outfits come and go, so I figured I'd share some thoughts on OiG Dispatch since a few people have asked about them in other threads. From what I've seen, they work with owner-operators, drivers who just picked up their MC authority, and small fleets running anywhere from two to ten trucks, and they cover both the U.S. and Canada.
What stands out is how much of the day-to-day grind they take off a driver's plate. Instead of you spending hours scrolling load boards, they're out there lining up freight that actually fits your equipment and your lanes, which cuts down on those long empty runs between loads. They also deal directly with brokers, so you're not the one chasing down rate confirmations or trying to talk someone up from a lowball offer. If you run temperature-controlled freight, having a reefer truck dispatcher who understands cold chain timing and detention issues makes a real difference versus someone who treats every load the same.
A few drivers I've talked to mentioned that having reliable dispatch support through OiG Dispatch made their week-to-week income a lot steadier, since they weren't stuck taking whatever showed up first out of desperation. Worth checking out if you're tired of doing all that legwork yourself and want a team in your corner that actually knows the freight game, especially if you're trying to grow your operation without burning out on the phone all day.
