Difference between Dispatch Service and Broker

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. Not to bring up a sore subject but have run across a few dispatch services calling on our loads posted within the last few weeks. What is the true difference between the two? We are a manufacturer/distributor so not a brokerage working with another brokerage on the loads we own all the product we are setting up loads on. Just looking for insight to be better informed if i were to book a truck with a dispatch service in the future. Thank you
