Flatbed Dispatch

Flatbed dispatch that understands the load.

Specialized flatbed dispatch services that understand tarping, securement, and the unique demands of open-deck freight.

Why Flatbed

Flatbed freight pays premium rates — when dispatched correctly

Flatbed loads demand specialized knowledge. From steel coils to lumber, every load has unique securement requirements that affect safety and rate.

Higher rates per mile than dry van or reefer
Less competition from mega-carriers (they avoid open-deck)
Consistent demand from construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors
Specialized dispatchers who understand securement, tarping, and weight distribution

Tarping

Tarping Matters

Tarp Pay

Every load that requires tarping includes a tarping pay line item. We negotiate it upfront so you never eat the cost.

Lumber Tarps

Heavy-duty lumber tarps for steel, pipe, and machinery. We ensure the broker knows what equipment you are running.

Smoke Tarps

For sensitive cargo that cannot get wet. Premium tarping = premium rates, and we make sure you get both.

The Numbers

Flatbed by the numbers

Flatbed freight consistently pays higher rates per mile than dry van or reefer. Here is what our carriers average on dispatched loads.
