Why Choose Freight Girlz for Step Deck Dispatch?

Step deck freight is profitable when you control the details: loading method, securement expectations, appointment windows, and accessorials. We treat step deck like a system: rate floors, deadhead limits, and clearance-aware planning — so you stay moving and paid correctly.

Height-aware load matching — step deck freight targeted to your deck length, height advantage, and gear.
Securement-first dispatch — we confirm chain/strap/tarp expectations and special instructions before you roll.
Lane planning — reload probability + timing considered, not just “the highest number on the board.”
Paperwork handled — packets, RCs, special instructions, and factor-ready docs to avoid pay delays.
No forced dispatch — you approve every load, every time.
Real support — check calls, reschedules, detention/TONU documentation when issues happen.
What protects your profit on step deck
The “gotchas” are usually hidden in the notes: jobsite delivery rules, driver assist, crane appointments, tarp requirements, and detention terms. We surface these items up front and get them confirmed in writing.
⚙️ Process

How Our Step Deck Dispatch Works

Setup: You share lanes, home-time, trailer specs, gear list, max deadhead, and minimum all-in rate / RPM targets.

Load sourcing: We pull step deck freight that fits your plan—industrial, construction, machinery, crated freight, and specialty loads.

Negotiation: We push your floors and confirm accessorials (detention, TONU, layover, tarp pay, driver assist) in writing.

Docs + instructions: RCs, COI requests, load notes, and special instructions organized and tracked—factor-ready.

Run support: Check calls handled and reload planning starts early so you don’t sit after delivery.

📦 Freight Types

Common Step Deck Freight We Dispatch

Regular step deck freight

  • Construction materials (bundled products, building components, jobsite deliveries).
  • Industrial equipment (skidded freight, crated loads, attachments, tools).
  • Machinery (forklifts, small equipment, components) when weight/height fits.
  • Containers & crates needing lower deck height than a flatbed.

Higher-touch freight

  • Tarp loads (we confirm tarp requirements and tarp pay up front).
  • Multi-stop routes with strict time windows and unload requirements.
  • Jobsite deliveries with special instructions, escorts, or scheduled cranes.
  • Partial/volume moves when they support your weekly RPM targets.
Gear matters
If you run tarps, chains, straps, edge protection, and dunnage — we target freight that pays for the effort, not “cheap and urgent.”
📏 Clearance

Clearance, Loading, and Height Notes We Confirm

Height & dimensions

We confirm stated dimensions, loading method, and “must be step deck” requirements before booking.

Loading method

Forklift, crane, drive-on, side load — plus any driver assist or appointment rules clearly communicated.

Permits & exceptions

When a load indicates oversize/permit needs, we make sure it’s addressed before you accept—no last-minute surprises.

❓ FAQ

Step Deck Dispatch FAQs

What’s the difference between flatbed and step deck?
Step deck offers a lower deck height, helping with taller freight that may exceed standard flatbed clearance. We target loads that pay for the step deck advantage.
Do you handle tarp pay and accessorials?
Yes. We negotiate and confirm accessorials (detention, TONU, layover, tarp pay, driver assist) in writing on the rate confirmation when applicable.
Do you force dispatch?
Never. You approve every load. We present options that match your lanes, home time, gear, and minimum all-in rate/RPM targets.
What paperwork do you handle?
Carrier packets, COI requests, rate confirmations, special instructions, and BOL/POD collection—kept organized to reduce pay delays.
Can you plan reloads to reduce deadhead?
Yes. Reload planning starts early and respects your deadhead limits, target RPM, and appointment windows so you stay productive week to week.
