Flatbed dispatch for open-deck operators.
Nationwide flatbed freight dispatch — construction materials, steel, lumber, machinery, and general open-deck loads for owner-operators and fleets.
Open-deck dispatch for real flatbed operators.
Flatbed dispatch is freight dispatch for open-deck equipment — standard flatbeds, drop decks, and other open trailers that haul freight that can't fit in a dry van. Flatbed freight covers construction materials, steel, lumber, machinery, pipe, roofing, and dozens of other industrial categories.
Our flatbed dispatch service is built for owner-operators and small fleets who run open-deck equipment day in and day out. We source freight, negotiate rates, and manage the extra logistics that come with securing loads with straps, chains, tarps, and permits when needed.
Flatbed freight tends to run in strong regional patterns tied to construction, manufacturing, and steel corridors. Our dispatchers know those markets and build load plans that keep you loaded through them.
You keep control of what you haul, when, and where. We handle the sourcing, the broker calls, and the paperwork so you can focus on securing your load and driving safely.
Flatbed dispatch benefits.
Construction Lanes
Steel, lumber, roofing, and building material freight across major construction corridors.

Regional or OTR
Regional home-weekly flatbed runs or long-haul open-deck lanes — your call.

When freight requires permits or escorts, we help coordinate with the shipper and broker.

Flatbed Dispatch questions.
What is flatbed dispatch?+
Flatbed dispatch is dispatch service for open-deck equipment — sourcing loads, negotiating rates, and managing logistics for flatbed and step-deck operators.
Do you dispatch step-deck trailers?+
Yes. We dispatch standard flatbeds, step decks, and other open-deck equipment. See our step deck dispatch page for details.
Do flatbed drivers need special certifications?+
Flatbed drivers typically need cargo securement training under FMCSA rules and often carry additional tarps, straps, and chains — no separate CDL endorsement is required for standard flatbed freight.
Do you help with over-dimensional loads?+
For light over-dimensional freight we can help coordinate with brokers and permit services. Heavy super-loads are typically outside standard flatbed dispatch scope.
What rates should I expect on flatbed?+
Flatbed rates fluctuate with construction and steel demand but generally run above dry van RPM. We push brokers on every load to capture strong rates for your equipment.
Can I stay regional as a flatbed owner-operator?+
Yes. Many flatbed drivers stay regional and get home weekly. We build your dispatch plan around home-time goals.
