Dispatch Tales is the LoadTide podcast. Neal and Bobby sit down with the real numbers from our trucks: who grossed the most, who ran the best rate per mile, and what the freight market was doing while it happened. No theory, just how loads actually get booked.

Featured: Episode 10, Breaking Records in May
May was a record month for our 53 ft reefer department. For the first time, four drivers crossed $60,000 gross. Mirsad took the Gross King title at $67,450, and Marko led the RPM Kings at $4.19 a mile.
Neal and Bobby also look at the market behind those numbers with SONAR and DAT data:
- why truckload rejection rates hit 15.1% and what that means for shippers and carriers
- the spread between spot and contract rates
- why the South paid better than the Northeast, and how lane strategy beats chasing a quick dollar
- high-security trailer seals and the rise of freight fraud
- the 26 ft straight box truck Gross Kings and RPM Kings
- broker compliance changes, including C.H. Robinson’s new rules
