A dispatch percentage should be translated into dollars before you judge a load. A percentage that looks small can materially change the amount available to cover fuel, equipment, insurance, maintenance and profit.
This calculator isolates the dispatch percentage so you can see the dollar cost before evaluating the full load. For complete load economics, use the Load Decision Engine.
Truck Dispatch Fee Calculator
Convert a percentage dispatch fee into dollars and estimated revenue remaining after that fee.
This isolates the dispatch charge only. Fuel, insurance, maintenance, factoring, taxes and other operating costs are not deducted here.
What this number does not tell you
The dispatch fee alone does not determine whether a load is profitable. Compare the offer after all-mile costs, deadhead and any factoring or other revenue-based charges.
Evaluate the whole load with the Load Decision Engine. If you are reviewing APR’s service rather than doing the math, see Dispatch Support.
