How to Set Up a Successful Load Search on TS Dispatch
Thanks for choosing TS Dispatch to help you find verified loads! Our system uses AI to contact brokers by phone and email, saving you time and helping you move faster.
To get the best results, follow these quick tips:
🔍 Search Tips
Be specific, but not too strict—overly tight filters may limit your results.
Minimum RPM
-
âś… Good Example: Set minimum RPM to $2.50 so you see most market loads, then negotiate up.
-
❌ Bad Example: Set minimum RPM to $10—you’ll filter out almost everything and miss loads worth bidding on.
Deadhead Distance
-
✅ Good Example: Set max deadhead to 150 miles—you’ll see more options, especially in slower markets.
-
❌ Bad Example: Set max deadhead to 50 miles—you may miss nearby loads just outside your radius.
Some filters (like pickup time and trailer type) are strict, while others are more flexible—so tweak as needed to open up more options.
đź§ľ Best Practices for Each Search Section
Pickup Details
Pickup Location
Be specific—using a city helps us find better, more relevant loads.
-
✅ Good Example: Set pickup location to Dallas, TX—you’ll get loads near where you actually are.
-
❌ Bad Example: Set pickup location to Texas—it’s too broad, and you’ll get loads hundreds of miles away.
Time Window Filtering
Make sure your pickup time reflects when you’re physically able to take a load—leave room for delays, rest, or transit.
-
✅ Good Example: Want only morning loads? Set pickup window to 6 AM – 12 PM.
-
❌ Bad Example: Leave time filters blank if you only want morning loads—you’ll get results at all hours.
Delivery Details
Delivery Location
-
âś… Good Example: Use Atlanta, GA or a few states like GA, TN, NC to target your delivery zone.
-
❌ Bad Example: Try to enter Atlanta + Charlotte + Nashville—multi-city input isn’t supported.
Delivery Date/Time
-
âś… Good Example: Leave blank unless you need to deliver by a specific time or date.
-
❌ Bad Example: Set strict delivery times on every search—you’ll miss out on otherwise great loads.
Other Requirements
Once saved, your preferences will be applied automatically for future searches unless you update them.
- Equipment Type & Length: Ensure these accurately reflect the equipment you currently operate.
-
Max Weight: Enter the actual maximum weight your truck can safely and consistently haul.
- You can adjust this seasonally or by region (e.g., for mountains or winter).
- Minimum Load Price: Use this field if you have a firm minimum load price that you do not accept loads below.
-
Minimum Rate per Mile (RPM):
- Set a realistic threshold to avoid missing valuable load opportunities.
- Keep in mind that rates are often negotiable, and we’re happy to bid higher on your behalf!
-
Min/Max Distance (Miles):
- Use if you want short (e.g. <150 miles) or long (e.g. >150 miles) loads.
- Otherwise, leave open for more options.
