Jupiter SomeraFreight Truck Dispatcher and LTL support, US hours from Manila

Truck 102 is empty in Dallas. Here's how I load it.

This portfolio is one dispatch week, worked start to finish. Pick a load on the board to see what I check before I call the broker.

Companies, loads, and rates are sample data from my training. The process is exactly how I'll run your truck.

    I'm the one who answers you.

    No call center and no handoffs. I'm a remote freight truck dispatcher working your hours in US time zones, eight hours a day, full-time.

    My job is to keep your trucks loaded and profitable. I find good loads on DAT and Truckstop, negotiate to your rate-per-mile target, plan every trip around your driver's ELD hours, and keep brokers and drivers updated from pickup to delivery.

    I built my own tools to check rates, plan loads, and keep each carrier's paperwork organized. You'll see them below.

    Before freight, I spent 12 years in technical support (2000 to 2012), so I'm used to solving problems by phone and keeping records clean.

    • 8 hours a day, Mon to Fri
    • 8 AM to 4 PM Central
    • Remote from Manila
    • 2 certified dispatch courses
    • 12 years in tech support

    Three trucks, one week, planned around HOS

    A sample 3-truck dry van carrier out of Dallas. Every trip fits the hours each driver's ELD shows. If a load cancels during my hours, I update the broker and driver within 30 minutes and start looking for a nearby replacement.

    Tools I built to do the job

    Each one answers a question I'd otherwise work out on paper during a broker call.

    Dispatch Copilot showing a load check with profit and break-even rate

    Dispatch Copilot

    Checks every load before I book it: rate per mile, full trip cost, profit, break-even rate, reload risk at delivery, and HOS timing.

    Gives a clear take-it-or-pass verdict before I commit your truck.

    Call Assist ranking loads by profit per mile

    Call Assist

    Reads a DAT or Truckstop screen and ranks every load by profit per mile after deadhead and diesel.

    I dial the broker already knowing my target rate and my walk-away rate.

    Driver Board showing drive, shift, break and cycle hours per driver

    Driver Board

    Drive, shift, break, and cycle time left for each driver, plus recap and reset, based on the hours the driver's ELD shows.

    I don't book a load your driver can't legally run.

    PDF Packet Editor

    Fills broker setup packets and rate cons fast, and merges PDFs or phone photos into one file. Everything stays on my computer.

    PDF Packet Editor

    US Time Zones

    Four dispatch clocks and the time zone for any US city or ZIP, so every appointment is set in the right local time.

    US Time Zones clocks

    AI email assistant In progress

    Built with n8n to sort broker emails, log booked loads, and draft replies for my review. Each carrier's data stays separate, and I make every final decision.

    LTL support

    Beyond full truckloads, I support LTL shipments: getting the freight class right before the BOL goes out, so there are no surprise reweigh or reclass charges.

    • Freight class and NMFCIncluding the 2025 density scale.
    • Density, cube, and linear feetWorked out from pallet size and weight.
    • AccessorialsLiftgate, residential, limited access, and inside delivery.
    • BOL prepHandling units and hazmat details, checked before pickup.
    • Carrier portalsEstes and ODFL portals, the DAT load board, Google Sheets, and Excel.
    LTL Freight Class Calculator showing class, density, and linear feet
    LTL Freight Class Calculator, my own tool. Finds the NMFC class from pallet size and weight, checks density and linear feet, and flags what can trigger a reclass.

    When something goes wrong

    Loads don't always go to plan. This is what I do when they don't.

    Detention

    I track wait time, warn the broker before free time runs out, make sure in and out times are on the BOL, and request detention pay.

    Breakdowns and delays

    I find the nearest repair shop, update the broker right away, and move the next load's appointment so the week stays on track.

    Hours and compliance

    I plan around the hours your driver's ELD shows and check broker and carrier authority before booking. The driver and the ELD have the final say on hours.

    Cancelled loads

    Within 30 minutes during my hours, the broker and driver are updated and I'm already searching for a replacement near the truck.

    Paperwork

    Rate cons, BOLs, PODs, and lumper receipts are checked and filed per carrier, so nothing holds up your payment.

    I also build websites for carriers

    Brokers and shippers check you out online before they offer a load. A clean website with your authority, equipment, and lanes makes your company look as professional as it runs.

    Ironline Freight sample website, Night Run look

    Same carrier, three looks. Ironline Freight is a sample company I made up for this demo.

    • Quote request formShippers send lane, equipment, and dates straight to your email.
    • Broker setup packetMC, DOT, insurance, and W-9 ready to download, so setup goes faster.
    • Equipment and lanesBuilt for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, hotshot, or tanker.
    • Driver recruitingA "Drive for us" page for fleets that are hiring.
    • Works on phonesMost brokers will look you up on their phone.

    A separate job with its own price.Website work is not part of my dispatch service or dispatch fee. It's quoted, agreed, and paid as its own project, and I build it outside my dispatch hours, so your truck always comes first.
