Back of the napkin

The math on a typical
four-load week.

One owner-operator, four loads a week, average $3,000 per load. Numbers below are monthly, not yearly — this is what a flat fee actually changes on the bank statement.

Percentage shop · 8%
$960
  • 4 loads × $3,000 = $12,000 gross
  • 8% dispatch fee = –$960
  • Net to carrier: $11,040
Your desk
American Smart Trucking
$220
  • 4 loads × $3,000 = $12,000 gross
  • 4 × $55 flat fee = –$220
  • Net to carrier: $11,780
Delta in your pocket
+$740
  • Per month, same loads
  • ~$8,880 / year
  • No rate cut, just flat fee

Numbers above use a conservative 8% benchmark — many percentage shops charge 10%, in which case the delta widens to $980 per month.
