Pricing
Current Equitable pricing.
Dispatcher Business in a Box startup and operating costs, managed-dispatch charges, carrier self-dispatch, and digital products are shown separately below.
Complete dispatcher costs
No Separate Business Setup Needed — Independent Contractor Dispatcher Business in a Box.
The required one-time startup total is $134: $99 Equitable onboarding plus the required $35 FMCSA Generator license. Beginning day 31, required Equitable portal access is $99/month after separate authorization. Truckstop Pro is recommended for live rate tools and rate intelligence, but it is not required and is excluded from both required totals.
Start for $134 — No Separate Business Setup Needed by Equitable
- No LLC, corporation, or separate business entity is required by Equitable to enroll. You may enroll as an independent contractor dispatcher. You remain responsible for any requirement imposed by applicable state or local law.
- $99 one-time Equitable onboarding. Includes the first 30 days of Equitable portal access after approved activation.
- $35 one-time FMCSA Generator license. Required for new dispatcher enrollment and must use the same email as the dispatcher application.
- Required one-time startup total: $134. Truckstop is not included because Truckstop Pro is recommended, not required.
$99/month ongoing — No Separate Business Setup Requirement from Equitable
- You can continue as an independent contractor dispatcher without forming a separate business entity for Equitable access. Equitable does not require an LLC, corporation, or separate business license; applicable state or local requirements remain your responsibility.
- $99/month Equitable portal access beginning day 31 after separate recurring authorization.
- The $35 Generator license is one-time and is not added again to the monthly total.
- Truckstop Pro is not required. It is a recommended third-party option for live rate tools and rate intelligence and is paid directly to Truckstop if chosen.
Recommended live-rate tool — Truckstop Pro
- Recommended, not required. Equitable does not require an active Truckstop Pro account for enrollment, portal activation, or continued Equitable access.
- Truckstop currently advertises Pro at $159/user/month for live rate tools and rate intelligence.
- Truckstop is a separate third-party service and controls its own pricing, taxes, fees, approval, account terms, and future changes.
Managed-dispatch load pricing
- Standard managed dispatch: the carrier pays one 5% linehaul dispatch-service charge.
- 4% of linehaul is dispatcher compensation and 1% is retained by Equitable.
- Dispatcher-handled Truckstop loads: the dispatcher sets the carrier-approved percentage, with a 5% minimum. Equitable retains 1% of linehaul and the dispatcher receives the remainder of the selected percentage.
- The selected managed-dispatch percentage is the total carrier dispatch-service charge; it is not that percentage plus another 1%.
System eligibility — U.S. residents only
- Dispatcher system access is limited to people who currently reside in one of the 50 U.S. states or Washington, D.C.
- This is a residency requirement, not a U.S.-citizenship requirement.
- Residency confirmation is required before protected dispatcher tools are activated.
Carrier service paths

Equitable managed dispatch
5% of linehaul
