The platform
Extend
An independent contractor got into this business for freedom and choice. The carrier that gives them both is the one they stay with, and the one the next one signs with.
Self-Dispatch
The experience you give an independent contractor is why they stay, and why the next one signs with you.
Retention and recruiting
A contractor who books their own loads runs the business the way they meant to.
Freedom and choice are why they bought the truck in the first place.
Self-Dispatch gives the choice back, and it is the part of the offer a contractor can feel every day rather than read in a recruiting ad.
What the driver sees
The driver books against the rate and the pay, not against whatever the phone call implied.
Every load open to them carries the rate, their own pay, and the detail they need to judge it — commodity, weight, the appointment window, and how far the truck is sitting from the pickup right now.
Most independent contractors are paid a percentage of the revenue on the load, so showing the revenue is the trust mechanism rather than a courtesy.
Paired with Assignment
Assignment tells the driver whether the load can be delivered on time before they book it.

Paired with Assignment, Self-Dispatch runs the load against the driver’s hours, the receiver’s window and the real transit between them before they commit to it.
The same location tolerances, dwell and transit your planners run on are applied to the load in front of the driver — so an owner-operator books with the operation’s knowledge behind them rather than against it.
Running their own trucks
An owner-operator growing into a small fleet dispatches from the same app.
A contractor who has added trucks sets up their company tractors in the same app and assigns loads to their own drivers — the same board, one level up.
The paperwork
The driver sends the paperwork in from the phone that booked the load.
The app holds the rate confirmations and the load history, and it is where a driver collects and submits the critical documents.
How it is deployed
A driver installs it on the phone they already carry.
Or you push it to the driver’s tablet through the mobile device management you already run.
