WHAT IS DRY VAN DISPATCHING
High-Volume Freight Smarter Dispatch, Bigger Earnings
Dry vans are among the busiest trailer types on the road. Being an experienced haulier, you can imagine the busiest load boards, tough competition for good freight, and the biggest gap between what a driver wants and what a dedicated dry van dispatcher can find. Here is where we jump in: Freight Connect provides the best dry van dispatch services built to fill that gap on every single freight.
A CDL Class A is mandatory for every dry van operation we dispatch. Be it a 53 ft dry van, a 48 ft dry van, or a tandem axle van for heavier general freight. Our team books general freight, full truckload (FTL) loads, and palletised freight across automotive, retail, grocery, and e-commerce supply chains.
You just don’t find a load but also dedicated dry van lanes that deliver predictable rate per mile, consistent miles, and a paycheck you can actually plan around.

WHAT OUR CARRIERS SAY
TRUSTED BY DRY VAN OWNER-OPERATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
“Since switching to Freight Connect, my truck doesn’t sit. My dispatcher knows my lanes better than I do at this point — rates are better and I’m finally home on weekends.”
Marcus T.
Box Truck Owner-Operator
“Running 3 flatbeds used to mean I was on the phone all day instead of managing my drivers. Freight Connect took that off my plate completely — flat fee, no surprises.”
Angela R.
Flatbed Fleet Owner, 3 Trucks
“Reefer freight is unforgiving on timing. They’ve never put me in a load that didn’t make sense for my truck, and the paperwork is handled before I even unload.”
Dave O.
Reefer Owner-Operator
