When Maria contacted us in February 2025, she was frustrated. Despite 8 years of experience running reefer loads, she was stuck in a cycle of low-paying freight, excessive deadhead miles, and weeks away from home. Six months later, she's earning 78% more revenue and getting home twice as often.

The Challenge: Experienced but Underearning

Maria had been self-dispatching for years, relying primarily on load boards and a few direct broker relationships. While she knew the reefer business inside and out, she was missing out on the premium freight that makes the difference between surviving and thriving.

Her Main Pain Points:

  • Spending 3-4 hours daily searching for loads
  • Accepting lower rates due to time pressure
  • High deadhead miles between loads (25% average)
  • Limited access to premium cross-border freight
  • Inconsistent home time affecting family life

🚛 The Dispatching.Pro Solution

We immediately recognized Maria's potential. With her clean record, reliable equipment, and reefer expertise, she was perfect for our premium cross-border produce lanes. Here's what we implemented:

Specialized Reefer Focus

  • • Premium produce loads from California
  • • High-value pharmaceutical freight
  • • Temperature-critical specialty loads

Cross-Border Expertise

  • • USA-Canada produce corridors
  • • Streamlined customs documentation
  • • Premium cross-border rates

The Results Speak for Themselves

Within the first month, Maria saw a 35% increase in her revenue per mile. By month three, she was consistently hitting $30K+ monthly revenue. But the numbers only tell part of the story.

💬 What Maria Says:

"I thought I knew the reefer business, but these guys opened my eyes to opportunities I never knew existed. The cross-border produce loads alone changed everything. I'm making more money in 10 days than I used to make in 3 weeks."
"But honestly, the best part is being home with my kids more often. My daughter said 'Mommy, you're home so much more now!' That's worth more than any paycheck."
