Flatbed and step deck dispatch service
Flatbed freight usually pays more than dry van because it takes more work: tarping, securing and sometimes permits. The money is in matching the load to your equipment and charging for the extra effort.
What flatbeds and step decks haul
Steel, lumber, building materials, machinery and equipment. Step decks, also called drop decks, handle taller loads that would exceed legal height on a standard flatbed.
Match the load to your gear
Before you accept, confirm whether the load needs tarps, how many straps or chains, edge protection and coil racks. Cargo securement rules apply to every load, so we only book freight you're equipped to haul.
Oversize and overweight
Some loads need permits and escorts. We tell you up front what's required and make sure the rate covers the cost and time.
Get paid for the extra work
We negotiate tarp fees, multiple stops and long loading times into the rate so you aren't giving that time away.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a flatbed and a step deck?
A step deck has a lower deck to carry taller freight within legal height limits. A standard flatbed has a flat deck at one level.
Do you book loads that need tarps?
Yes, if you have the tarps and want the load. We negotiate tarp fees into the rate.
Can you help with permit loads?
We tell you what permits a load needs and make sure the rate covers the cost and time.
