We book the freight.
You run the truck.
L5 Transport dispatches for owner-operators and small fleets. One straight fee, shown on every load — plus the calling, negotiating, and paperwork handled while you drive.
No long-term contract. Review every load before it's booked in your name.
Every load, spelled out before you accept.
Everything off your plate except driving.
Transparent fees
One flat percentage, itemized on every settlement. No hidden cut from fuel surcharge or detention pay.
We source the freight
Load boards, broker relationships, and repeat shippers — we make the calls so you don't have to.
You decide, always
Every load comes to you first. Accept it, counter it, or pass — no standing obligations.
Fast settlements
Weekly statements with clear line items, paid out on a schedule you can count on.
From first call to first load, in days.
Tell us your lanes
Equipment, preferred lanes, and the rate that makes the trip worth it to you.
We start booking
We work the boards and brokers, negotiate the rate, and send you the load — before you're committed to anything.
You run, we handle the paper
Rate confirmations, BOLs, and settlement, handled. You focus on the road.
Know your number before you turn the key.
Every load we book comes with a full breakdown — rate, fee, surcharge, and what actually lands in your account. No surprises at settlement.

Takes about 3 minutes. A dispatcher will follow up within 1–2 business days.
Questions carriers ask us.
A flat percentage of the confirmed linehaul rate, fixed in your dispatch agreement. It's itemized on every settlement statement before you ever accept the load.
No. You review each load before it's booked in your name. Pass on anything that doesn't fit your lanes, rate, or schedule.
Load boards, direct broker relationships, and repeat shippers, matched to the equipment and lanes you give us.
No. L5 Transport is a dispatch service, not a motor carrier or a freight broker. You operate under your own MC authority at all times — we book and negotiate on your behalf, but the freight is always yours to carry.
There's no long-term contract. Give the standard notice in your dispatch agreement and you're free to go.
