Gustavo

TruckQuick dispatch desk

Gustavo writes our guides, calculators and dictionary, plus the factoring and compliance articles. They cover every equipment type we dispatch, from 26 ft box trucks and hotshots to reefers, flatbeds, oversize and tankers.

Facts come from primary sources where they exist: FMCSA and the Code of Federal Regulations for weight, license and safety rules, and published studies and market data for costs and rates. Each source is named with the date it was checked, and anything we made up to show the math is labeled as an example. Read how that works in our editorial policy, or contact us to report a mistake.

Rules change, so pages get a yearly review: weight and license limits, insurance minimums, fuel tax, factoring terms and the rate references. When a fact changes, the page shows a new updated date. Everything Gustavo has published so far is listed below by type.
