The Carriers First dispatch team at work
About

Built by dispatchers.
Run for carriers.

We've spent 15 years on the other end of the phone. We know what good dispatch looks like, because we've been doing it across 1,000+ carriers, and we know what bad dispatch costs because we've cleaned up after it.

Our Story

How Carriers First started.

Built by dispatchers with 15 years inside the industry. The same complaints kept coming up from carriers: dispatchers don't pick up, rates are mystery numbers, contracts trap you, the TMS is a black box.

So we built what we wished existed. No contracts. Transparent fees. A real TMS. A 24/7 desk that picks up. Free help with the boring stuff.

“We don't lock you in. Our numbers do.”

Our Beliefs

What we stand for.

Four principles that shape every decision we make.

Carriers come first.

Our name is our promise. Every decision, every fee structure, every contract we don't make you sign, exists because we put the carrier ahead of our own short-term comfort.

Transparency is non-negotiable.

You see our pricing on the website. You see every load in your TMS. You see every rate, every settlement, every broker. Nothing is hidden, because there's nothing to hide.

Relationships beat algorithms.

Load boards have their place. But the loads that pay are the ones that come from brokers who trust the dispatcher. We've spent 15 years building those relationships.

We handle it all.

Dispatch, billing, factoring, compliance, the whole back office. One hands-on team takes care of everything, so you're never bounced between vendors or left chasing paperwork.

The Team

The people behind the loads.

Specialist teams, organized by what they do best. Each carrier gets a dedicated dispatcher, with managers and back-office support behind them.
