Drag the truck on the turntable to turn it, or select a parked rig in the yard. Figures are typical for the equipment type, not a specific truck.

Planning around your flatbed operation

Trailer dimensions, payload, tarping expectations, and loading access all belong in the load conversation. We help raise these questions with the broker and consider deadhead and delivery timing alongside the rate. You review the shipment requirements and decide whether the load fits your operation.

What to share with the dispatch desk

  • Trailer length, deck dimensions, and available payload
  • Tarp sizes, securement equipment, and any loading restrictions
  • Shipment types you accept and those you avoid
  • Empty location, availability, lane preferences, and home time

Dispatch support from planning to paperwork

Our support includes load planning, rate negotiation, broker and carrier communication, paperwork and invoicing support, factoring coordination, and detention assistance. We discuss the service scope and fee before you commit. Available freight and final terms depend on the equipment, lane, and timing.

You stay in control of your truck and approve every load. Tell us your preferred lanes and home-time needs so we can discuss options across the lower 48.

Review our rate approach and service pricing and how dispatch onboarding works. If you are asking about operating under a carrier lease-on arrangement, see our separate MC lease-on information.
