OTR dispatch service that brings you home on time
Over-the-road on any equipment, from vans and reefers to flatbeds, hotshots and 26 ft boxes on two- and three-week trips. We plan the whole loop: loads, reloads, hours-of-service resets and the run home, so you're not deciding the next load from a truck stop at midnight.
Plan the loop, not the load
Pick a home base and how many weeks you'll stay out. The map draws an EXAMPLE loop with the loads, the 34-hour resets and the run home.

EXAMPLE loop on a schematic map. Real loops follow your lanes, hours and the freight that week.
Hours of service and home time
Property-carrying drivers work within an 11-hour driving limit, a 14-hour on-duty window and a 60 or 70-hour limit over 7 or 8 days, with a 34-hour restart available. Every OTR plan has to fit those, or the load that looked good turns into a late delivery or a violation.
- Appointments set inside the hours you actually have, with room for traffic and slow docks.
- Resets placed where there's safe parking and freight nearby, not in the middle of nowhere.
- The last week bent back toward home, so your home date holds.

What changes on long runs
The loop is a plan, not an order
Each leg of the loop is a separate offer. You see it, you say yes or pass, and on a yes the rate con comes straight to you to sign. If you want to change the plan mid-trip, we replan around you. Hotshot owners can read how we plan reloads on hotshot dispatch, and fees are on rates and fees.
What carriers ask us
- "OTR dispatchers send you wherever pays today."
- That's how drivers end up stranded. We plan the loop, so today's load sets up tomorrow's and the last week heads home.
- "I can't plan weeks ahead; the market changes."
- Neither can we, exactly. The loop is a plan we adjust every day as freight moves, always anchored to your home date.
- "My home time always slips."
- Tell us the date and we build backward from it. If a load would make you miss it, you hear that before you accept.
An example two-week loop
- 01Week 1, days 1-2. Out from Dallas with a van load to Atlanta, reload booked before delivery.
- 02Week 1, days 3-5. Atlanta to Chicago, then a short regional load while hours reset.
- 03Weekend. 34-hour restart near freight, not in the middle of nowhere.
- 04Week 2, days 1-3. Chicago to Denver, then Denver south toward Texas.
- 05Week 2, days 4-5. Last load ends near Dallas on the home date.
What we need to plan your loops
Your home base, how long you like to stay out, your home-time days, and the states you won't run. Your equipment and its limits. Your lowest all-in rate per mile. And how you like to spend resets: near a truck stop with food, near family, or near freight for a Monday start.
With that on file, every load offer comes with where it leaves you and what's next on the loop. You still approve each leg; the plan just means you never decide in the dark.
OTR dispatch FAQ
Q01Do hotshots run OTR?
Many do, especially on two- and three-week trips chasing oilfield and equipment freight. A hotshot still has hours-of-service limits and, if it's a CMV in interstate commerce, ELD rules. We plan loops the same way we do for semis, sized to the rig.
Q02How do you avoid long deadheads on OTR runs?
We plan the loop, not the load: each delivery is chosen with the next pickup in mind, and the last week bends back toward home. When a market goes quiet mid-trip, we tell you before you book into it.
Q03How do you plan around hours of service?
We plan pickups and deliveries inside your available hours, put 34-hour resets where they make sense, and avoid appointments that only work if you run out of hours. Your ELD data stays yours; we work from the hours you share.
Q04Can a dispatcher plan my home time?
Yes. Tell us how long you'll stay out and when you need to be home. The loop is built backward from that date.
Q05Do I approve every OTR load?
Yes. Each leg is an offer you accept or pass, and its rate con comes straight to you to sign.
Q06How long do OTR trips usually last?
As long as you want. Some owners run two weeks out and a few days home; others run longer. Tell us your pattern and we plan to it.
Q07Do you plan fuel stops?
We plan the route and timing; fuel stops are yours, though we flag long stretches with few stops. The fuel stop planner on our site can help.
Q08What if I need to come home early?
Tell us. We replan the remaining loads to head home, and you pass on anything that doesn't fit.
Q09Do OTR loads pay better than regional?
Sometimes per mile, sometimes not. Long runs mean fewer loading and unloading delays per mile, but more time away and more risk of ending up in a weak market. We plan the loop so the whole trip pays, not just one leg.
Q10Can you plan loops for team drivers?
Yes. Teams can run more miles per day under hours-of-service rules, which opens up time-critical and long-haul freight. Tell us the team's schedule and home time.
Q11Do you dispatch OTR reefers?
Yes. Reefer OTR loops often follow the produce seasons across regions. We plan them so you move with the harvest rather than chasing it, and so the loop still ends at home.
