Flatbed Dispatch Services
At Extreme Dispatch, we understand that flatbed trucking isn’t for everyone. It takes skill, patience, and an eye for detail. But for drivers who run flatbeds well, the rewards speak for themselves. Whether you’re hauling steel coils, industrial machinery, lumber, or construction materials, flatbed freight is a high-value game, and we help you play it right.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dispatching. Our flatbed dispatch services are tailored to match your trailer specs, preferred lanes, equipment type, and availability. From solo operators with a single spread-axle to fleets running full-time regional routes, we plan every move with precision and profitability in mind. No more scrambling for last-minute loads or dragging underpaid freight across dead miles. You haul heavy. We haul smart.
Whether you’re dealing with tarping, oversize permits, or multi-stop industrial freight, we handle the paperwork, broker calls, and route planning so you can focus on secure hauls and safe miles. With 24/7 support and dedicated dispatchers, you’re never left on your own.
Why Flatbed Carriers Choose Extreme Dispatch
1. Load Matching That Makes Sense
We don’t just book any load that fits on your trailer, we book the right load. From weight distribution to deck space and securement requirements, we evaluate every job to ensure it works for your exact trailer setup. Whether you run with tarps, chains, binders, or ramps, we match you with freight that works for you.
2. High-Paying Direct Freight
We work directly with shippers, manufacturers, and industrial suppliers that move flatbed freight daily. That means no underbid rates, no load board roulette, and no endless calls for crumbs. We source premium freight that matches your experience and equipment, and we negotiate for top dollar.
Full/Partial Loads
We map out logical lanes that maximize loaded miles and keep you out of the slow zones. Whether you're doing regional work or long hauls, we minimize empty legs and prioritize return loads that make sense. More miles, more freight, more pay.
