How to calculate and track dispatcher pay.

Start with the agreed pay basis, review the loads and prepare a pay statement that explains the result.

The short answer

Carrier Hub NEXT supports dispatcher compensation and pay statements using percentage or fixed pay arrangements. CH Dispatch connects carrier-specific pay settings and My Pay to load records, with company arrangements controlled by configuration. Confirm the eligible pay base, period and adjustments before generating the dispatcher pay statement PDF.

Identify the pay base before applying a rate

A percentage is meaningful only when you know what it applies to. A dispatcher may be paid from an eligible load-revenue base, a fixed period amount, or a configured share of the dispatch company’s fee. These calculations produce different results.

NEXT’s supplied percentage statement identifies revenue excluding lumper and shows the pay basis beside each load. Its salary example identifies a fixed monthly salary. The supplied CH Dispatch private statement explicitly applies the dispatcher’s share to the company fee, rather than to the load price.

Review the period, loads and allocation

  1. Confirm the agreement. Check the configured pay method and the amounts included in the pay base.
  2. Select the period and dispatcher. Review the loads credited to that person and the applicable carrier context.
  3. Preview the breakdown. Check the rate, any separately configured TONU treatment and approved adjustments.
  4. Generate a dispatcher pay statement PDF. Review the recipient, period, line-level calculation and net pay before sharing it.

Company configuration, permissions and plan features control the available actions. The examples demonstrate particular arrangements; ask our team to confirm the setup for yours.

Compare three supplied pay examples

NEXT percentage pay: the sample statement has $502.33 of base earnings and a $20 deduction, giving $482.33 net pay. It shows 6% on the eligible revenue of standard loads and separate TONU compensation.

NEXT salary pay: the sample shows a $4,200 fixed monthly salary plus $30 of TONU compensation, giving $4,230 net pay. Reference loads marked “Included in monthly salary” are not paid again as a separate percentage.

CH Dispatch company-fee sharing: the sample uses a 40% share of the company fee. On one $128 company-fee line, a 5-percentage-point deduction reduces the share to 35%, so that load pays $44.80. Across the statement the dispatcher’s net pay is $387.20.

Use the arrangement configured for your account. Do not combine the three examples into one pay rule.

Keep internal pay separate from the carrier invoice

The CH Dispatch carrier-client invoice shows what the carrier owes the dispatch company. A private dispatcher pay statement shows that dispatcher’s own allocation. Review the intended recipient before emailing a saved statement.

Generating a pay PDF does not execute a money transfer. For pay-document terminology and related workflows, browse invoices, pay and settlement PDFs.

Practical answers

Questions about this workflow.

Can NEXT prepare dispatcher pay statements for salary or percentage pay?

Yes. The supplied NEXT examples demonstrate both a percentage statement and a fixed monthly salary statement, with their pay bases and totals shown separately.

Does a dispatcher percentage always apply to freight revenue?

No. The eligible base depends on the configured arrangement. The CH Dispatch private sample applies a share to the company fee, while the NEXT percentage sample uses its stated revenue base.

What does a 5 pp deduction mean in the CH Dispatch sample?

In that configured example, it subtracts 5 percentage points from the 40% share, leaving 35%. On the $128 company fee shown, the dispatcher’s pay is $44.80.
