    Of 212 Ohio carriers with 50+ trucks, 12 still dispatch by phone or paper. 4 are hiring someone to do it by hand right now.

    I ranked them by fleet size, growth and how much paper they use. Buckeye Haul is first: 120 trucks, and a job post for a dispatcher who fills out load sheets by hand.

    I found 9 owners and wrote each one an email that starts with what I saw. Press a carrier to read why it fits.
