Flatbed dispatch support
Dispatch help that considers your equipment.
More than finding a posted flatbed load. Freight availability, insurance requirements and commercial terms vary by shipment.
Tarp and securement details
Ask about tarps, special handling, loading assistance and jobsite requirements so the carrier can assess the load.
Rate and accessory charges
Confirm proposed linehaul, tarp pay, detention arrangements and accessorial terms with brokers.
Pickup and delivery coordination
Keep crane/forklift availability, appointment requirements and site contact details organized.
Before you book
Flatbed freight details that matter.
Use these checkpoints when evaluating loads. The carrier and driver remain responsible for equipment and regulatory compliance.
Weight and dimensions
Confirm length, width, height and weight fit your specific trailer and legal limits.
Securement responsibility
The driver/carrier must independently assess securement, equipment and regulatory compliance.
Weather and access
Consider tarping time, weather exposure, facility access and delivery-site restrictions.
Example: flatbed quote review
When comparing a $2,500 linehaul offer with a separate tarp payment, include expected tarp time, deadhead, fuel and your safety requirements before deciding.
