Rate Negotiation

Most owner-operators lose significant revenue simply by accepting the first rate offered. Brokers start low because they know most carriers won't push back. At TLS, pushing back is our job — and we're very good at it.

Market Intelligence

Our team tracks real-time rates on DAT, Truckstop, and direct shipper networks daily. We know what a lane should pay before we ever pick up the phone — which means we negotiate from a position of knowledge, not guesswork.

Broker Relationships That Pay Off

Years of working with the same brokers has given us something carriers without a dispatcher can't easily build: trust and leverage. When brokers know we bring consistent, professional capacity, they're more willing to offer better rates and prioritize our carriers when premium loads come available.

Recovering Hidden Revenue

Beyond the base rate, we aggressively recover detention pay, layover fees, and accessorial charges that are often overlooked or given up. These amounts add up quickly — and they're money you've already earned by being at the shipper's dock.
