Complete Service Information

The service you provide is invaluable to your clients and to the American economy. Your trucking operation keeps this country moving — and that is exactly why you deserve the best rates possible for every load you haul. Booking a load is easy; negotiating a genuinely profitable one is an art form. That is where our Rate Negotiation specialists come in.

At Freight Services, our negotiation team monitors national load-to-truck ratios, spot market conditions, and seasonal freight surges to ensure we are always negotiating from a position of strength. We don't just match the board rate — we push beyond it. We know the lanes, we know the brokers, and we know the rates that never appear publicly.

Our service goes far beyond simply getting you a good rate per mile. We build lasting relationships with brokers and shippers to secure favorable terms, consistent freight flows, and preferred carrier status for your operation. We also negotiate detention, layover, and TONU payments that many dispatchers simply overlook.

You take care of the driving; we take care of everything else. Our approach is completely hands-off for owner-operators — we present you with the negotiated load and the details, and you make the final decision. There are no nasty surprises: our transparent pricing means you always know exactly what you are paying for our services.

Common Questions about Rate Negotiation

How much more can I earn with professional rate negotiation?

While results vary by lane and equipment type, our clients typically see 10–25% improvement in their average rate per mile after working with our negotiation team.

Do you negotiate detention and layover pay?

Absolutely. We negotiate detention, layover, and TONU payments that many dispatchers overlook — these can add thousands of dollars to your monthly revenue.

What lanes do you specialize in?

We have strong broker relationships across all major lanes in the continental US, with particular expertise in high-volume corridors like the Midwest, Southeast, and West Coast.

Will you negotiate rates I bring you, or do you find loads too?

Both. We actively search for and negotiate the best loads available, but we are also happy to negotiate on loads you find independently.
