We provide top-tier dispatch center services in New York for various dispatching enterprises. Equipped with the latest technology, dedicated to excellence, and driven by a desire to surpass expectations, we have become a pillar of reliability.
New York fleets lean on us for after-hours answering through the small hours and overflow call handling when a shift change or bad weather floods the lines. Our dispatchers already work inside iCabbi and TaxiCaller, and we run the same desk for operators in Las Vegas. Car services east of the city can use the same team on our Long Island desk, and operators with vehicles in several markets keep the same desk in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Florida (including Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville), and the full list of what we cover is on our services page. The same desks cover Houston, Washington DC, Dallas, Boston and Atlanta fleets as well. For reception-style call handling, such as greeting callers and booking appointments, see our virtual receptionist service in New York.

New York is the city where dispatch is a regulated activity in its own right. Under the TLC rules on trip records, a base has to capture, for every dispatch, the date and time, the pickup and drop-off locations, the driver’s TLC license number, the license number of the vehicle sent, and the TLC license numbers of both the dispatching base and the affiliated base — plus whether the ride was shared and whether the passenger or the driver cancelled.
Those records go to the TLC monthly. Operational records are kept for eighteen months, inspection records for twelve. Incomplete or inaccurate records are fined at $100 each for the first ten and $500 each after that, to a ceiling of $10,000.
Read that back as an operations problem rather than a legal one. The person on your phones at two in the morning is the person creating the record. A dispatcher who takes a trip without the affiliated base number has not simply been sloppy, they have created a finable entry. Our dispatchers work to the fields your base has to file, because in New York getting the booking is only half the job.
New York State charges a per-trip congestion surcharge on any for-hire trip that begins in, ends in, or passes through Manhattan south of 96th Street. It is $2.75 on a for-hire vehicle trip, $2.50 on a medallion taxicab, and $0.75 on a pooled trip. It has to be collected separately, shown to the passenger on the receipt, and remitted monthly.
The reason that belongs on a dispatch page rather than an accounting one is who owes it: the party dispatching the vehicle. Whether a run crossed 96th Street is decided on the board, not in the back office, so a desk that mislogs a route is creating a shortfall someone reconciles later. Our dispatchers flag the zone as the trip is entered.
Three airports, two of them in different jurisdictions, and a city that never fully goes quiet. JFK takes the late transatlantic arrivals, LaGuardia runs the domestic early wave, and a Newark pickup puts your driver in another state under another authority. A passenger who says they are landing in New York has told your dispatcher almost nothing.
Most operators bring us in on the shift they cannot staff, usually overnight or weekends, and widen the cover once it settles. We work inside your own system, answer as your company, and hand the board back in the morning with the trips entered and the records complete. There are no contracts, and special rates are available for fleets moving to full 24/7 cover.
Not sure whether you need the phones answered or the board worked? Our dispatch answering service page explains the difference.
Yes. Our live dispatchers work around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. They work inside the dispatch software you already use, such as Limo Anywhere, Moovs or TaxiCaller, so your drivers and customers see no change in process.
Yes. Most operators start us on the shift they find hardest to staff, usually overnight or weekends, and add more hours later if it works for them.
Yes. We follow your procedures for JFK, LaGuardia and Newark, including meet-and-greet instructions, flight changes and driver updates, so pickups are handled the way your team would handle them.
No. Licensing, permits and filings stay with your company. What we do is keep clean, complete trip records in your dispatch system, which gives your team accurate data when those records are needed.
Our dispatchers work from our office in Lahore, Pakistan. Grasp Solutions has run dispatch and call answering for transportation companies since 2015 and is registered with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB).
We start with a short call or an email exchange, whichever suits you, to learn your procedures. Then we set up access to your dispatch software, agree on escalation rules and take over the shifts you choose.
