Hermes Logistics · Owner-Operators
Owner-Operator Dispatch Support
Hermes supports car-hauling owner-operators with load search, route and equipment review, broker communication, paperwork coordination, invoicing follow-through, and structured operating communication. The owner-operator controls the truck and approves every load before booking.
Use the direct carrier intake so Logistics Sales can review authority, insurance, equipment, capacity, home base, operating area, availability, current dispatch status, and the support scope the owner-operator wants to discuss. Submission starts a review and does not assign a dispatcher or guarantee acceptance, loads, rates, lanes, mileage, profit, or revenue.
Who this is for
- Independent car-hauling owner-operators
- Hotshot, open, enclosed, and multi-car equipment operators
- Carriers needing dispatch and paperwork structure
