What is Flatbed Dispatching?

Is Dispatching the Right Fit for Flatbed and
Step Deck Owners?

Flatbed and step deck trucking occupies a unique niche in the transportation industry. With the ability to haul oversized loads, construction materials, and specialized equipment, these versatile trucks often command premium rates. As a flatbed or step deck owner, you might be wondering if partnering with a dispatching service could help you navigate these complexities and boost your bottom line.

The Flatbed Advantage

Flatbed and step deck trucks often command higher rates due to:

Specialized cargo handling requirements
Increased driver skill and responsibility
Flexibility in load types (oversized, construction materials, machinery)

Dispatching Benefits for Flatbed Owners

Partnering with a dispatching service can offer several advantages:

Access to a broader network of shippers and brokers, potentially opening up new revenue streams and more consistent work.
Expertise in navigating the complex regulations surrounding oversized and specialized loads, including assistance with route planning and obtaining necessary permits.
More time to focus on driving and equipment maintenance, allowing you to maximize your on-road productivity and ensure your equipment stays in top condition.
Potential for higher-paying loads through professional negotiation and leveraging of market data to secure better rates.

When Dispatching Makes Sense?

Dispatching services can be particularly beneficial if you find yourself struggling to keep your truck consistently loaded or if you’re spending too much time dealing with paperwork and regulatory compliance. It’s also an excellent option for those looking to expand their operations but lacking the time for business development. New entrants to the flatbed and step deck market can especially benefit from the guidance and connections a good dispatcher provides.
