Direct answer
What does a Box Truck dispatch service do?
A Box Truck dispatch service helps source and evaluate freight, negotiate available terms, communicate with brokers, and coordinate accepted loads. Skyline also reviews dock access, liftgate and pallet-jack needs, driver-assist exposure, facility limitations, total miles, and regional reload context before the carrier approves a load.
