Equipment types we dispatch
We handle every flatbed configuration. Tell us your equipment, we will find the right loads.
What comes with flatbed dispatch
Flatbed has complexity that dry van does not. We handle all of it.
Construction & Industrial Freight
Steel coils, lumber, machinery, building materials — we have strong relationships with construction freight brokers for consistent flatbed work.
Oversized & Heavy Haul Coordination
Wide loads, overweight permits, pilot car coordination — we handle the complexity so you can focus on the haul.
Premium Rate Negotiation
Flatbed commands higher rates. We know the market and negotiate aggressively on your behalf for every load.
Load Securement Documentation
We confirm all securement requirements before you accept — tarps, chains, straps, binders. No surprises at the shipper.
Long & Short Haul Options
Whether you run OTR or regional, we find loads that match your preferred lanes and mileage targets.
Specialized Broker Network
We work with brokers who specifically handle flatbed freight — not generalists trying to fit flatbed into a dry van model.
