Flatbed dispatch that asks the job-site questions before you roll

Usually the receiver, with a forklift, telehandler or crane. Some sites expect the driver to help or hand-unload, and that should be priced in and written on the rate con. We ask who unloads and with what before an offer reaches you, so you aren't stuck waiting on a machine that's across town.

Yes. When a load needs tarps, tarp pay should be its own line on the rate con, and we ask for it. Lumber, drywall, some steel and anything that can't get wet usually needs tarps. If a broker won't pay for tarping, you'll know before you confirm.

Often, especially at steel mills, lumber yards and job sites where unloading depends on one machine and one crew. We get free time and the detention rate written on the rate con, log your arrival and departure, and file the claim when the clock runs out.

Yes. Step decks haul taller freight that won't fit under legal height on a flatbed, like machinery and tall crates. See step deck dispatch for how we plan those loads.

Yes. Some flatbed brokers set a 30 to 90 day minimum or ask for flatbed experience, but plenty work with new authorities. The fee is 7% until your authority turns 6 months old, then 5%.

Enough straps, chains and binders for the freight you haul, plus edge protectors, corner protectors and tarps if you take tarped loads. Securement rules are in 49 CFR 393 Subpart I, and some commodities, like coils, logs and heavy machinery, have their own sections. Brokers often ask what you carry.

5% of gross on loads you haul with 6+ months of authority, 7% before that, and 4% per truck for fleets of two or more. No setup fee, no minimums, and nothing on weeks you don't haul. See the fee schedule.

We check the load weight against your truck and trailer before offering it, and flag heavy freight like coils and pipe where axle weights get close. You still scale the load. Use the axle weight calculator to plan where the weight sits.

No. Every load comes to you with the lane, weight, rate, securement needs and site details. You confirm or pass. Nothing gets booked without your yes.

Yes. Tell us when you want to be home and we plan the week backward, so the last load heads your way. Some weeks that means a slightly lower rate. You'll see the trade-off and decide.
