Truckstop.com Adding to Open Deck, Heavy Haul Offerings

Load matching for flatbed, lowbed, oversize and overweight loads can't be automated like basic van freight, but Truckstop.com is adding more high-tech tools to help.

“When a load involves permits, escorts, or specialized equipment, pricing has to be right before the truck moves," says Truckstop.com's Scott Moscrip.

Truckstop.com continues to expand its investment in freight that requires more planning than standard truckload by acquiring Wize Load, a provider of heavy-haul rate-intelligence tools.

Freight that involves open-deckheavy-haul, or overdimensional equipment often requires more planning than standard truckload freight. Equipment requirements, permits, escorts, routing limits, and specialized equipment all affect how loads are priced and moved, and quoting these shipments can take more time without the right data.

Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates, formerly Wize Load, gives brokers a faster way to estimate pricing by bringing lane data, permit rules, and equipment requirements together in one place. Customers rely on this data every day to quote complex freight faster, win more loads, and protect their margins. 

Technology for Complex Freight

Truckstop.com is investing in technology built for freight that does not move dock to dock.

In January, it launched the Truckstop Heavy Haul Load Board, which connects carriers running open deck, flatbed, and specialized equipment to loads built for complex moves.

Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates builds on that effort by adding pricing intelligence designed for oversized, overdimensional, and permit-required freight, helping brokers quote faster and move specialized shipments with confidence.

“We are doubling down on technology built for heavy haul, oversized, and overdimensional freight, including the Heavy Haul Load Board and now Heavy Haul Rates,” said Scott Moscrip, founder and CEO of Truckstop.com

“When a load involves permits, escorts, or specialized equipment, pricing has to be right before the truck moves," he added. “Our customers use this data every day to quote complex shipments faster, win more loads, and protect their margins.”

Truckstop will continue to offer Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates with the same login and workflow customers use today, while expanding tools for heavy haul, open-deck, and specialized freight.
