A $54K dispatcher really costs about $84K a year.

Add benefits and payroll taxes (31.5% of total pay, per the BLS), a load board and a TMS, and that's the real number. Then compare it with a 5% dispatch service:

• At $20K gross per truck a month, hiring breaks even at about 7 trucks.
• If someone has to cover nights and weekends, it's closer to 14.

Below that, a service usually costs less. Above it, hiring can make sense, as long as your hire books rates as good as a service would.
