The math on why mid-size fleets are bleeding money on dispatch
Most carriers running 50-500 trucks are spending 30-40% more on dispatch labor than they need to.
Here's the breakdown:
The average dispatcher handles 15-20 trucks. With route optimization and automated load matching, that number jumps to 40-60. That's not a theory — it's what happens when you remove manual route planning and phone-tag coordination from the workflow.
Fuel waste from bad routing costs ~$0.12/mile on a 200-truck fleet. Over a year, that's $300K+ in fuel alone that evaporates because someone eyeballed a route instead of letting an algorithm handle it.
Maintenance surprises kill margins. A single unplanned breakdown costs $500-$1,200 in towing + downtime. Predictive maintenance alerts catch 80% of those before they happen.
We built Truckstop because we watched fleet managers drown in spreadsheets and phone calls while the tools they needed either cost $50K/year or didn't exist.
$499/mo. Track every truck. Optimize every route. Automate dispatch. Cut headcount without cutting capacity.
