Step Deck Dispatch FAQ

What types of freight does LoadEX find for step deck operators?

We find construction equipment, heavy machinery, industrial components, agricultural equipment, and any oversized or tall freight that exceeds standard flatbed height clearances. Step deck loads often pay premium rates due to the specialized equipment required.

Does LoadEX handle DOT permits for step deck loads?

Yes. We handle all oversize and overweight permit requirements, route surveys, and DOT compliance documentation for every step deck load we dispatch. You focus on driving — we handle the paperwork.

What is the difference between a flatbed and a step deck?

A step deck (also called a drop deck) has two deck levels — a higher front section and a lower rear section. This allows hauling taller freight that would exceed legal height limits on a standard flatbed, making it ideal for tall machinery, construction equipment, and industrial loads.

What are typical step deck load rates?

Step deck rates typically range from $2.50–$4.50/mile depending on load dimensions, permit requirements, lane, and freight type. Oversized and permitted loads command premium rates over standard flatbed.

What does LoadEX charge for step deck dispatch?

Up to 8% of gross load revenue. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. Your first week is free — zero commission so you can see the results before you pay anything.
