Power Only Dispatch Service

Since 2019, Arrow Dispatch Services has provided power only dispatch service to owner-operators and truck fleets. Our team makes it easy to match power-only loads to independent owners and truck fleets any time you need to move equipment on a flatbed trailer, dry van trailer, refrigerated van, shipping container, or tanker trailers. We can find the best power only trucks solution to fit any transport situation.

Power Only Dispatch – Help Finding Loads

Independent truck drivers never have to sit idle again. Our dispatchers match drivers with suitable shippers in need of their power only trucking services. We match drivers to shippers with pricing expectations in alignment. Drivers retain the right to decline loads and to choose which routes they wish to be routed to or through. Arrow Dispatch Services’s team works hard so you can do what you do best – drive.

Negotiating with Customers

No one likes to haggle. Sometimes it is necessary to ensure owner-operators of power only trucks get the best load rates. Better load rates equal more money in drivers’ pockets and a boost to their bottom lines. Our team closely monitors spot rates and fully understands the loads-to-trucks ratio, and uses this knowledge to negotiate the best load rates for drivers. We will always go above and beyond to reach a deal on transporting loads that require power only trucking services.

Power Only Trucking Billing Assistance

One of the only things more time-consuming than finding your own loads is billing for your services. Owner-operators never have to deal with invoicing when they work with Arrow Dispatch Services to manage their power only trucking. It is our mission to make your job easier, matching power only owner-operators and shippers and then following up post-delivery with billing assistance.

Document Management and Paperwork

No one likes paperwork or managing the endless documents needed for successfully shipping loads. Whether you are a shipper or an owner-operator, Arrow Dispatch Services can handle the unpleasantness that is all things paperwork on your behalf. From fuel receipts and detention pay to lumper receipts and credit checking brokers and shippers, we handle all documents and paperwork so you can place your focus where it matters most.

CDL License

A CDL is a special license required to operate large, heavy, or hazardous material vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trailers in the U.S.

You need a CDL license to legally drive commercial vehicles, meet state and federal regulations, and qualify for jobs in the trucking or transport industry.

  • Class A CDL: For operating vehicles with a combined weight of 26,001+ lbs (tractor-trailers, tankers, etc.).

  • Class B CDL: For single vehicles over 26,001 lbs (buses, dump trucks, delivery trucks).

  • Class C CDL: For smaller vehicles carrying hazardous materials or more than 16 passengers.

  • Minimum age (18 for intrastate, 21 for interstate).

  • Valid driver’s license.

  • Medical examination (DOT physical).

  • Knowledge test and skills/road test.

You must apply at your local DMV or licensing office, pass the written exam for a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), complete training, and then pass the road skills test.

Depending on your training program, it usually takes 3 to 8 weeks to complete CDL training and testing.

The cost varies by state, but generally ranges between $3,000 – $7,000 including training, application, and testing fees.

Technically yes, but most employers prefer or require formal CDL training. Truck driving schools also prepare you for the road test and improve your job opportunities.

Yes, CDL licenses usually expire every 5 to 8 years depending on the state, and you’ll need to renew it with updated medical and vision requirements.

With a CDL, you can work as a truck driver, bus driver, delivery driver, construction vehicle operator, or hazardous materials transporter.
