How To Get The Best Load For
Your Flatbed/Stepdeck?
Finding the best loads for your flatbed or step deck is essential for maintaining steady revenue and reducing downtime. Success requires more than just browsing load boards; it involves strategic planning, networking, and leveraging technology to secure opportunities that fit your schedule and equipment.

Mastering Load Boards for Better Results
Load boards are the go-to resource for flatbed and step deck truckers, but using them effectively requires strategy. Look for load-matching platforms that allow you to:
- Filter by freight type, location, and rate preferences.
- Set alerts for loads that match your criteria.
- Prioritize reputable brokers and shippers for consistent work.
Building Connections with Brokers and Shippers
Strong relationships with brokers and shippers often lead to priority access to the best loads. Networking within industries that frequently use flatbed and step deck services—like construction, manufacturing, or agriculture—can secure long-term partnerships and steady work.
Timing is Everything: Leverage Seasonal Demand
Certain times of the year offer better opportunities for flatbed and step deck trucking. Align your operations with industry demand to access premium rates:
- Spring and summer: Construction materials, landscaping equipment.
- Fall: Agricultural machinery, and heavy equipment for pre-winter projects.
- Year-end: Industrial equipment relocation and holiday shipping spikes.
