You keep controlYour authority, your loads, your customers
What we do
Your operations team, without the payroll.
Whether you move freight or broker it, we run the day-to-day so you can focus on growth. Every service below is one we can legally provide as a dispatch and back-office company — you always keep your own authority.
Truck Dispatch
Load planning, sourcing, and rate negotiation with brokers — on your behalf, with you approving every load.
See details
We run your dispatch desk so you can stay focused on driving. We plan the week, source freight coming out of each delivery that fits your lanes and rate targets, and negotiate every rate against live market data — you approve each load before it books.
What you get
Weekly load planning built around your lanes and home time
Rate negotiation against real-time market rates, not guesswork
Backhaul and deadhead planning to protect your revenue per mile
One dispatcher who learns your trucks and your preferences
How Ashton helps
Ashton works as your independent dispatch agent — you keep your own MC/DOT authority and approve every load. Our fee is a small percentage of linehaul, charged only after the broker pays you.
You keep your authority. Ashton is not a broker or carrier.
Back-Office & Billing
Invoicing, paperwork (BOL/POD/rate cons), accessorials, and clean records — nothing stalls your pay.
See details
Paperwork should never be the reason your money is late. We build and send every invoice, chase accessorials, and keep your records clean and audit-ready so cash keeps moving.
What you get
Invoicing sent the day the load delivers
BOL, POD and rate-confirmation handling
Detention, layover and TONU recovery
Organized, audit-ready records
How Ashton helps
Your back office runs in the background while you drive. We package the paperwork the way brokers and factors want it, so nothing stalls your pay.
IFTA, permits, DOT audit prep, and new MC/DOT authority guidance — the regulatory load, handled.
See details
The regulatory side is where new operations lose the most time and money. We handle the filings and prep that keep you legal and moving — on time, every time.
What you get
IFTA filing and fuel-tax tracking
Permits and DOT audit preparation
New MC/DOT authority setup and guidance
Clearinghouse and driver-file support
How Ashton helps
We keep your compliance calendar so deadlines don’t sneak up on you. Where a licensed third party is required, we introduce you and manage the setup.
General guidance, not legal advice. Filings that require a licensed provider are handled by that provider.
Carrier Vetting
Authority, insurance, and safety verification with continuous monitoring — critical after the 2026 broker-liability ruling.
See details
After the 2026 broker-liability rulings, vetting is not optional. We verify authority, insurance and safety before every booking and keep watching after approval.
What you get
DOT / FMCSA / authority-age checks
Insurance-expiration monitoring
Fraud and double-broker screening
Continuous monitoring that flags lapses after approval
How Ashton helps
We plug into your process as an extension of your team, so every carrier you book is checked and re-checked — helping you show reasonable care.
Check calls, shipment monitoring, and proactive updates to your shippers — an extension of your team.
See details
Your shippers should always know where their freight is — day or night. We run check calls, post status updates, and manage exceptions before they become claims.
What you get
Pickup and delivery check calls
Proactive shipper updates
Exception and delay management
Coverage across every time zone
How Ashton helps
We watch your loads while your in-house staff sleeps, so a delay never turns into a lost customer.
