All the staff.
None of the headcount.
Vanguard Carrier Services is your dispatch, breakdown, safety, recruiting, scheduling, and compliance team — fully staffed, working under your authority, and never sitting on your payroll.
One phone number. Six departments.
Most dispatch outfits stop at booking loads. We built Vanguard to cover everything a small fleet's back office has to handle — so you're not stitching together five different vendors.
Live Dispatch
Real dispatchers booking freight, negotiating rates, and running check calls — around the clock, not just banker's hours.
Breakdown Desk
A truck down means money bleeding out. We find the nearest shop, chase parts, and keep everyone posted until wheels turn again.
Safety Program
CSA score monitoring, incident response, and drug & alcohol program management — handled before it becomes a violation.
Driver Recruiting
Sourcing, screening, and onboarding qualified drivers so your trucks stay staffed instead of parked.
Scheduling
Dock appointments and route timing built around hours of service, so every truck's clock works for you.
Compliance
Permits, IFTA filings, insurance renewals, and DOT audit prep — the paperwork that keeps you legal.
You don't build a staff. You just use ours.
Running dispatch in-house means recruiting, training, and managing a whole department — plus covering it every time someone's out. Vanguard is already staffed, already trained, and never calls in sick.
Doing it yourself
- Recruiting and hiring dispatch staff
- Training every new hire from scratch
- Managing and overseeing the team day to day
- Paying salaries, benefits, and payroll taxes
- Scrambling for coverage when someone's sick or on vacation
With Vanguard
- Already recruited and screened — you just plug in
- Already trained on dispatch, safety, and compliance
- Managed and supervised on our end, not yours
- One flat cost — no salaries, benefits, or payroll taxes
- Always covered — shifts, sick days, and vacations included
A full floor, headsets on, every shift.
Every department sits on the same floor, trading notes across the aisle. When your breakdown desk needs to loop in safety, they lean over — they don't file a ticket.
Onboarding takes four calls, not four weeks.
Fleet review
We walk your lanes, equipment, and current pain points — breakdowns, recruiting gaps, compliance backlog, whatever it is.
