Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
5 of the 30 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 25 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 191 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the advertised fee of every dispatch service that publishes one, normalised to three models - percent of gross, flat per week per truck, per call or per month - with the median and range per equipment type (semi, box truck, hotshot, flatbed, reefer) and per trade; beside it the BLS mean wage for SOC 43-5032 as the in-house cost of the same work, giving the break-even gross at which a percentage service costs more than a dispatcher; the share of services publishing a fee at all
191 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
