Flatbed freight broker questions
What is a flatbed freight broker?
- A flatbed freight broker connects shippers who move open-deck freight — steel, machinery, building materials and other legal-dimension loads that do not fit in an enclosed trailer — with vetted flatbed motor carriers. MTS Log handles carrier sourcing, securement requirements, tracking and paperwork so you get one accountable partner per load.
What dimensions do you need for a flatbed quote?
- Send the total length, width, height and weight, plus loading method and tarping requirements. Our initial flatbed campaign is focused on legal-dimension loads that fit standard flatbed equipment.
How is flatbed freight priced?
- Flatbed rates are built from lane market signals, equipment type, tarping and securement requirements, plus our own execution history, with a deterministic margin floor. You always see one all-in rate — no surprise accessorials after the load is booked.
Is tarping included for flatbed loads?
- When your freight needs tarping or specific securement, we confirm those requirements with the carrier up front and include them in your all-in quote, so there are no add-on charges at pickup.
