Introduction
Every mover knows the frustration: empty trucks driving back from jobs, wasted fuel, and lost revenue. For independent moving companies not tied to a van line, finding reliable partners to interline loads often feels like a gamble. You either call around endlessly, rely on word-of-mouth, or post in Facebook groups—hoping for a trustworthy reply.
But what if there was a platform built specifically for movers to solve this problem?
That’s exactly what Movers Dispatch Board delivers. On this episode of the Movified Podcast, host Mark Hirschi sat down with Nisrine Masri, co-founder of the platform, to explore how it’s helping movers connect, collaborate, and profit. With more than 21 years of experience in logistics and moving, Nisrine designed the tool to address challenges she lived through firsthand.
If you’re a moving company owner, franchisee, or industry professional looking to maximize efficiency, reduce deadhead miles, and create new revenue opportunities, the Movers Dispatch Board could be a game-changer for your business.

Why Movers Need a Dispatch Board
Independent movers face a unique challenge: how to handle jobs that go beyond their local service area. While van lines provide built-in networks for interlining, independent operators have historically been left to figure it out themselves.
The result?
- Trucks running empty.
- Unreliable partnerships.
- Increased operating costs.
- Missed revenue opportunities.
This gap in the market inspired Nisrine Masri to create the Movers Dispatch Board. By centralizing opportunities and connections, the platform empowers movers to grow without the overhead of a van line.
What Makes Movers Dispatch Board Different
Unlike generic load boards designed for freight, the Movers Dispatch Board is built exclusively for the moving industry. Nisrine leveraged two decades of experience in household goods, logistics, and administration to ensure the platform addresses real-world needs.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Licensed Movers Only – Integration with FMCSA ensures only active, compliant movers are allowed. Unlicensed carriers are removed.
- Unlimited Users Per Company – No per-user fees. Owners can onboard dispatchers, drivers, and admin staff at no extra cost.
- Flexible Subscription – Movers can switch between free and paid plans depending on the season. No long-term contracts required.
- Continuous Feature Updates – New functions roll out monthly, often based on mover feedback. One feature, the ability to post available trucks, came directly from user requests.
“I didn’t just imagine features,” Nisrine said on the podcast. “I lived the pain points every day. That’s how I knew what movers really needed.”
How the Platform Works in Practice
At its core, the Movers Dispatch Board is a digital marketplace for moving companies. Here’s the simple breakdown:
- Sign Up for Free – Companies create a profile, verified by FMCSA data.
- Post Loads or Trucks – Movers can share shipments needing partners or advertise trucks running specific routes.
- Find Opportunities – Paid subscribers can request loads, see the companies posting them, and negotiate directly.
- Verify Licenses – Every participant’s FMCSA record is visible, ensuring only legal, active movers are in the system.
- Stay Flexible – Subscribe during busy months; drop down to free during slower seasons.
This process eliminates unreliable Facebook posts, wasted calls, and the risks of unlicensed operators.
Real-World Stories That Prove the Need
The moving industry is full of unpredictable situations. Nisrine shared several stories that highlight why trust and transparency matter.
- The Divorce Move: A wealthy couple stored their goods. The wife insisted her name be on the contract. She later had everything delivered to her new home before the husband even called. The lesson: contracts and partnerships must be crystal clear.
- The Abandoned Harleys: A client left two Harley-Davidson motorcycles in storage, signing over the titles. Movers had to auction them off.
- The Storage Surprise: A customer paid $400/month for storage for ten years before passing away. The family didn’t want the goods, leaving movers to auction the items.
While colorful, these stories underscore a serious point: movers need secure, verified partners. By using the Movers Dispatch Board, companies reduce uncertainty and ensure smoother collaborations.
Future Growth: CRM Integrations and Canadian Expansion
One of the platform’s biggest advantages is its adaptability. Nisrine isn’t just maintaining the system; she’s constantly building for the future.
CRM Integrations
Movers asked for CRM connections, and Nisrine is delivering. Zapier integration is already live, allowing data imports and exports with tools like Excel. Direct partnerships with moving-specific CRMs are on the roadmap.
This will mean movers can seamlessly link their sales, dispatch, and load management tools with the Movers Dispatch Board.
Canadian Expansion
Many Canadian movers, including Salmon’s Transfer, have expressed interest. Nisrine confirmed that Canadian verification processes are in development, which will open the platform to cross-border traffic.
For movers who regularly send trucks south but struggle to find return loads, this expansion will be invaluable.
