Dispatch Invoicing: Billed Every Friday, 10% Flat
JackRick Logistics bills dispatch at a flat 10% per load for box trucks and semis, invoiced every Friday, with no retainer, no minimums, and 30-day written notice to end. The 10% covers load sourcing, rate negotiation, broker vetting, paperwork, and tracking.
Read our entire billing terms in sixty seconds: a flat 10% per load for box trucks and semis, invoiced every Friday for that week's dispatched loads, with no retainer, no monthly minimum, no setup fee, and no long-term contract. Either side ends the relationship with 30 days' written notice. That is the complete commercial relationship — one paragraph, no fine print, no asterisks.
This page exists because dispatch billing in this industry is often a fog of percentage-plus-retainer structures, long contracts, and fees that surface after you sign. We bill the opposite way, and we publish it plainly so you can compare. Below: the complete terms in one table, what the 10% includes, what we do not do, what the Friday invoice looks like, how ending works, and why simple billing matters to your books.
How JackRick Billing Works: The 60-Second Version
Every Friday, you receive one invoice for that week's dispatched loads. Each load is one line: the load, the rate, and our 10% — the same flat percentage whether it is a box truck or a semi, a short haul or a long one. You pay for loads we dispatched. Loads we did not dispatch do not appear. There is nothing else on the invoice because there is nothing else to charge.
The terms around the invoice are equally short. No retainer held against future work. No monthly minimum that bills you for a slow week. No setup fee for onboarding. No long-term contract — the relationship continues because it works, and either side can end it with 30 days' written notice. Questions about any invoice go to the same phone number as everything else: (757) 744-2484.
The Complete Terms, One Table
Rate: 10% per dispatched load, flat — box trucks and semis alike. Billing cadence: every Friday, for that week's loads. Retainer: none. Monthly minimum: none. Setup fee: none. Contract term: none — 30 days' written notice to end, either side. Payment terms: as stated on the invoice. Scope: load sourcing, rate negotiation, broker vetting, carrier packets, rate confirmations, check calls and tracking, and back-office document handling for dispatched loads.
That table is the whole agreement in commercial terms. Compare it against any dispatch offer you are evaluating: where the other quote has a retainer, we have none; where it has a twelve-month term, we have thirty days' notice; where it has fee categories, we have one line per load. The comparison is the point — simple terms are only valuable if you can see the difference.
What Is Included in the 10%
The 10% covers the full dispatch function, not a slice of it. Load sourcing from vetted brokers and direct relationships. Rate negotiation against your revenue-per-day target. Broker credit and reputation vetting, including double-brokering defense. Carrier packet preparation, submission, and tracking. Rate confirmation review — including detention and accessorial language. Check calls and load tracking while freight moves. Back-office document handling after delivery so your settlements stay clean.
What matters about that list is that none of it is metered. You are not choosing between a cheap plan that sources loads and an expensive plan that also negotiates; the service is the service, and the 10% is the price. The only variable is how many loads we dispatch — which is exactly the variable your revenue shares, so the incentive stays aligned.
What We Do Not Do
No retainer: we do not hold your money against future invoices. No minimums: a slow week bills a small invoice, and a week with no dispatched loads bills nothing. No long contract: the thirty-day notice term replaces the twelve-month lock-in. No hidden fees: the invoice has one line per load at 10%, and that is the entire arithmetic.
We also do not do the things the industry's fine print sometimes hides: no percentage that quietly rises after an introductory period, no separate charges for check calls or document handling, no fees for ending the relationship. The patterns we reject are named here without naming competitors — if another offer includes them, you will recognize the shape.
The Friday Invoice: What It Looks Like
One page, one line per load: date, load identifier, broker, linehaul rate, and our 10%. The total is the sum of the lines — arithmetic you can verify in seconds. The invoice states its payment terms and methods plainly. If a line ever looks wrong, you call and we fix it; billing disputes are resolved by looking at the same rate confirmations together, not by policy manuals.
Friday cadence is deliberate. Your business runs weekly — fuel settlements, driver pay, cash flow — and dispatch costs matched to the revenue they produced keep your books honest. A monthly dispatch invoice disconnects cost from the weeks that generated it; a Friday invoice keeps every week's economics visible while the week is still fresh.
30-Day Notice: How Ending Works
Either side ends the relationship with 30 days' written notice. During the notice period, dispatch continues normally — booked loads are honored, in-progress freight is tracked to delivery, and the final Friday invoices close out cleanly. There is no termination fee, no tail on future loads, and no hostage paperwork.
We would rather keep you with results than with paperwork, and the notice term is the proof. Most client relationships end for ordinary reasons — a carrier hires an in-house dispatcher, changes equipment, or pauses operations — and the thirty-day closeout handles all of them without drama. The door stays open; several former clients have returned, and the terms were the same on the way back.
Why Simple Billing Matters to Your Books
Your bookkeeping already tracks per-load revenue, fuel, and costs; a dispatch invoice that mirrors that structure — one line per load — drops straight into your system without translation. Complex billing creates reconciliation work: retainers to amortize, minimums to true-up, fee categories to allocate. Simple billing creates none, which means your Friday close stays a thirty-minute routine instead of a forensic exercise.
The deeper value is decision clarity. When dispatch costs exactly 10% of dispatched revenue, your per-truck P&L tells the truth every week: this truck earned its keep, that lane did not, this broker relationship pays. Billing that obscures the cost per load obscures the decisions the P&L should drive. Simple billing is not just courtesy — it is instrumentation.
