Answers before you get moving.
Straightforward information about carrier control, payments, onboarding, documents and working with an independent dispatch service.
What owner-operators want to know.
Choosing a dispatch service affects how freight is sourced, how rates are discussed, who communicates with brokers and how paperwork moves after delivery. These answers explain Lane313’s carrier-first dispatch model before you apply.
Can I decline a load?
Yes. Lane313 presents options and the carrier makes the final decision. There is no forced dispatch.
Do I need my own operating authority?
Lane313 is designed for motor carriers operating under their own active authority. Your MC/USDOT details are reviewed during onboarding.
Who receives payment for the freight?
The broker pays your carrier company directly, or pays your factoring provider when applicable. Lane313 does not receive the broker’s freight payment.
How does Lane313 get paid?
Your carrier pays the agreed dispatch service fee under the service terms provided before active dispatch begins.
Can you work with a new MC?
Eligibility depends on authority status, insurance, broker acceptance, equipment and other operating details. We review the complete profile before confirming service.
What equipment do you support?
The planned coverage includes dry van, reefer, flatbed and box truck operations. Current equipment and lane coverage is confirmed during onboarding.
How do you choose which loads to present?
The search is based on your equipment, current location, availability, preferred lanes, deadhead tolerance, home-time needs and other operating restrictions. We present the available details so your carrier can decide.
Can I use my factoring company?
Yes. Provide your factoring information and notice-of-assignment details when applicable so broker setup can be coordinated correctly.
What documents are typically required?
Common requirements include authority details, certificate of insurance, W-9, equipment information and factoring documents when applicable.
Will I sign a dispatch service agreement?
Service scope, fees, responsibilities and cancellation terms should be documented in writing before dispatch begins.
Does Lane313 guarantee rates or loads?
No. Freight availability and rates change with market conditions, lanes, equipment and carrier profile. We focus on disciplined search, negotiation and support rather than guarantees.
Is Lane313 a freight broker?
No. Lane313 is presented as an independent dispatch service working for authorized motor carriers. The carrier remains responsible for the truck and freight, and broker payment goes directly to the carrier or its factor.
