Complete understanding of what drivers are up against every day.
I understand what it takes to be successful over the road
I am Pro-Driver oriented. I know how to treat my Drivers with respect. That’s the reason I started this business.
“I’ve been in your shoes”
Sold my Truck and Retired from Driving in early 2016 and started Dispatching and Brokering.
Now I use my network of Customers and Brokers that I worked with over the years, along with other tools to secure good paying consistent loads for my Carriers.
I understand what life is like on the road, and the challenges you face every day. You are not alone out there. I will answer the phone at 0300 in the morning if you need me for anything.
It makes sense to partner with someone that has been where you are.
Grindstone Dispatch is a support mechanism for the success of your business.

I started an OTR trucking company in 2013 to provide additional income for the farm. We have been involved with Hopper, Bulk Feed, Dry Van and Reefer. We pride ourselves on taking the approach that everyone needs to be happy and profitable. A one sided deal will always result in failure. We work with Owner Operators looking for a partnership that provides good service, good loads and timely payment. Together we can take the headache out of managing everything and let you do what you love and drive.
