Default Dispatcher-less M/Cs

So, some M/C's have a full time dispatch to perform various tasks (forms, finding loads, accounting, etc). A lot of other M/Cs don't have that luxury. This includes independent O/Os. So, how do you all performs all of the functions a dispatch would while on the road? Are there any services that help with this?

Wow, hate to be the only one responding and it's 4 years later. But, yes there are those of us who are independent dispatchers that do all of that for you for a % of each load. I hope you have found a way to take care of this issue by now. Stay safe

Sorry for such a necroposting, but seems, that there are some mobile apps appeared, which can help the driver to get loads.
Check doft.com or freight.uber.com
