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 step deck operation

Share the length and height of each deck, usable space, payload, and loading equipment. We coordinate broker questions about freight dimensions, loading and unloading, and appointments. Any special shipment requirements need to be understood before you approve a move; dispatch support does not replace your equipment and route checks.

What to share with the dispatch desk

  • Upper and lower deck dimensions and available payload
  • Ramps, tarps, and securement equipment available
  • Loading limitations and shipment types you prefer
  • Current empty location, availability, preferred lanes, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you need both deck measurements?

Usable space differs between the upper and lower decks. Accurate measurements help you and the broker discuss whether a shipment fits.

Are specialized loads automatically accepted?

No. Equipment fit, shipment requirements, and route considerations must be reviewed for each opportunity, and you approve every load.

Start with your equipment and location

Send your equipment details, current city or ZIP, availability, and preferred lanes. The dispatch desk will review your information and explain the next step.
