FAQ: Box Truck Trucking and Dispatching
How do you start a box truck delivery service?
In addition to obtaining the necessary licenses, permits, and insurance, your next priorities should be conducting thorough research and planning, investing in purchasing or leasing a truck, securing clients, and collaborating with dispatchers to successfully launch a box truck delivery service.
How do box trucks work?
A box truck with a rectangular cargo area is more suitable for handling local, smaller loads because it is smaller and more maneuverable for navigating city streets than semi-trucks. It offers reliable, flexible, and cost-effective transportation solutions for local as well as short-distance deliveries.
What does a box truck dispatcher do?
A box truck dispatcher acts as an intermediary responsible for finding and ensure the safe delivery of loads. They locate loads using load boards and personal connections on behalf of a carrier, negotiate with the shipper or broker, and then provide the driver with a detailed route plan.
How to find local loads for box trucks?
Load boards, brokers, box truck dispatchers, and client references (local business networking) are key to finding local loads for box trucks. Make sure you search based on the trailer’s size and dimensions to find the ideal loads for your trucks.
What is required to operate a box truck?
As an owner-operator or driver, running a box truck in the USA requires a combination of the following:
- A truck and the necessary equipment.
- Licenses, permits, insurance, and business registration.
- A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is required if you operate a heavy vehicle or haul hazardous materials.
- USDOT number; additionally, the MC number is required for interstate transportation.

- Apart from registering on load boards, consider partnering with freight brokers or local dispatch companies to find the ideal loads.
