Transportation BPO services run by people who know transport.
Dispatch, answering, reservations, back office, billing, compliance support, recruiting and load booking, handled by a transport-trained desk inside your own software, at a flat monthly rate per seat.
Transportation BPO (business process outsourcing) means handing defined transport operations to an outside team: dispatch, call answering, reservations, back office and billing, compliance paperwork, driver recruiting and load booking. TransportBPO provides dedicated, transport-trained agents who work inside your own dispatch software and TMS, priced as a flat monthly rate per seat, month-to-month. You keep your systems, data, licenses and decisions.
How transportation BPO works with TransportBPO
Transportation runs on work that does not keep office hours: phones that ring at 2am, dispatch boards that need watching, bookings that change, invoices that need sending, and driver and vehicle documents that expire on their own schedule. Transportation BPO, short for business process outsourcing, hands defined pieces of that work to an outside team. The useful question is not whether to outsource, but which processes, during which hours, and to whom.
TransportBPO answers the “to whom” for ground transportation: taxi and private hire, limo and chauffeur, NEMT, towing and recovery, shuttle and charter bus, courier, trucking and more. Our agents are trained on transport work before they join your account, they work inside your own dispatch software, TMS and portals, and they stay on your account, so callers and drivers deal with people who know your rules.
We are the transport brand of SS Support Network LLC, a call center operator for healthcare, NEMT and home-care companies. We do not run a fleet, and we are not a carrier, broker or dispatcher of record. Your licenses, authority, insurance and decisions stay with you; we staff the desk behind them.
Pricing is a flat monthly rate per dedicated seat, with no setup fee and month-to-month terms, and the first week is free with no card. Compared with hiring for the same hours, it is typically 50–70% below in-house cost once salary, cover, equipment and turnover are counted.
Transportation BPO, line by line.
Dispatch and after-hours cover
Live dispatch inside your platform: taking jobs, assigning drivers to your rules, tracking progress and handling exceptions, as a full 24/7 desk or as nights, weekends and overflow behind your own team.
Call answering and reservations
Calls answered in your company name, bookings and changes entered directly into your system, quotes and confirmations sent, and real emergencies escalated by your rules instead of left in voicemail.
Back office and billing
Trip and load paperwork, invoicing, PODs and BOLs, broker and account follow-up, receivables chased on a schedule, and the data entry that otherwise lands on the owner at night.
Compliance support
Driver and vehicle files, expiry tracking, hours-of-service log reviews, permits, renewals and audit-ready document packages, kept current in your systems. The obligations stay yours; the legwork moves to us.
Driver recruiting
Job posts, fast first contact with applicants, screening calls to your criteria, document collection and orientation scheduling, so open seats get filled through your own hiring process.
Load booking and track-and-trace
For carriers: loads sourced and booked to your lanes and rate floors on your authority, rate cons checked, check calls run and detention documented, at a flat rate rather than a percentage.
Who transportation BPO suits, and who it does not
Outsourcing pays when there is real, recurring work your own people cannot cover well. It is not the right answer for every fleet: if your calls and trips fit staffed hours and a capable person owns the desk, keep it in-house. The operators who get the most from a transportation BPO tend to look like one of these:
- Owner-run fleets where the owner is still the night dispatcher, the biller and the recruiter.
- Growing fleets adding service hours faster than they can hire and train office staff.
- NEMT providers graded by brokers on pickup windows, portal responsiveness and documentation.
- Carriers whose billing, detention claims and paperwork lag days behind deliveries.
- Operators with sharp peaks, seasonal surges, or a single dispatcher whose sick day stops the business.
How it differs from a generic BPO or offshore call center
A generic contact center is built to follow scripts across many industries. Transport work is different: it is decisions under time pressure, in trade language. A caller asking for a will-call return, a broker asking for a rate con revision, a motor club wanting an ETA, a flight landing early for an airport pickup: each needs an agent who understands the job, not one reading a script for the first time.
The difference is not geography. What decides the quality of a desk is training on transport before the first live call, working inside your own systems rather than taking messages into a separate one, the same agents on your account shift after shift, and escalation rules written with you. Those are the questions to ask any provider, including us.
Back office transportation systems: we work in yours
Transportation back office work lives in your systems: the dispatch platform, the TMS, the ELD and telematics feed, broker and motor-club portals, the accounting package and the shared inbox. A transportation BPO should work inside those, with scoped logins you control, rather than asking you to migrate to its tools.
That has practical consequences. Every booking, status update, note and invoice lands in your records in real time. You can watch the desk work. Nothing needs re-keying the next morning. And if you ever bring the work back in-house, your data, history and vendor relationships never left.
How to evaluate a transportation BPO provider
Ask every provider the same questions and compare the answers side by side:
- How would they handle a real scenario from your operation, such as a driver calling out at 4:30am with a full schedule?
- Which of your systems will agents work in, and is any migration required?
- Who owns the data, the phone numbers and the board or portal accounts?
- Which hours are covered, who covers sick days and holidays, and are agents dedicated or pooled?
- How do emergencies escalate at 3am, and to whom?
- What exactly is included in the price, and what costs extra?
- What is the notice period, and can you trial the desk on your real work?
- What will they not do? A credible provider says plainly that it does not hold your licenses or authority.
Onboarding and pricing, in plain words
Onboarding is short and practical: we document your processes and escalation rules, set up access to your systems and phone routing, shadow your team, then take live work under supervision before running on our own. Most operators start with one process or one block of hours, such as nights and weekends, and add more once the desk has proven itself.
Pricing is a flat monthly rate per dedicated seat, set by the role (from virtual assistant and answering through dispatch, back office and specialized freight or NEMT seats) and the hours covered, with a pay-as-you-go hourly option for lighter needs. There is no setup fee and no long contract: terms are month-to-month and the first week is free. Current rates for each market are on the pricing page.
Transportation BPO compared with the alternatives
From first call to a live desk.
Choose the processes
A scoping call on which work moves, which hours need cover and what stays with your team. Many operators start with nights and weekends or one back-office process.
Document and connect
Your rules, scripts and escalation contacts go into an account playbook; you grant scoped logins to your systems and route the chosen hours of your phone line.
Shadow, then go live
Agents train on your actual software, shadow your team, then take live work under supervision. The first week is free, so you judge the desk on real work.
Review and expand
Regular reporting and quality reviews show what the desk handled. Add processes, hours or seats, or scale back, month to month.
