Heavy Haul & Flatbed TMS: Precision Dispatch for Multi-Axle & OS/OW Freight
Engineered for flatbed, step-deck, RGN lowboy, and multi-axle heavy transport fleets. Manage state oversize/overweight permits, coordinate escort vehicles, distribute axle loadings, and invoice complex specialized tariffs touchlessly.
Built for the Complexities of Specialized Freight
Everything heavy haul and flatbed carriers need to master permits, equipment dimensions, and high-dollar accessorials.
State OS/OW Permit Management
Track state-issued oversize and overweight permits across multi-state routes. Attach electronic permit PDFs, log curfew transit windows, and ensure drivers have required route surveys before wheels turn.
Multi-Axle & Bridge Formula Logic

Escort Car & Police Dispatching
Manage civilian pilot escort cars and law enforcement details. Assign escort vendors directly to the dispatch trip, track mileage and layover costs, and rebill charges seamlessly to the shipper invoice.
Stop Leaking Revenue on Specialized Freight
Heavy haul and open-deck carriers face thousands in unreimbursed expenses when permits, tarps, and detention are missed on customer invoices. Exspeedite guarantees total cost capture.

Frequently Asked Specialized Transport Questions
How does Exspeedite handle state oversize and overweight (OS/OW) permits?
Exspeedite tracks state DOT permits across every jurisdiction on the route. Dispatchers log permit numbers, state route restrictions, travel curfew hours (sunrise to sunset restrictions), and bridge crossing conditions directly on the trip file, alerting dispatchers before permits expire.
Can the TMS calculate multi-axle weight distribution for heavy machinery?
Yes. Exspeedite supports complex trailer configurations including 3-axle RGNs, 4-axle lowboys, jeeps, booster dollies, and steerable multi-axle platforms. The system models steer, drive, trailer, and booster axle loadings against Federal Bridge Formula and state-specific statutory weight limits.
How does the platform coordinate pilot cars and police escorts?
Exspeedite allows dispatchers to link third-party escort vehicle operators directly to specialized loads. The system coordinates meet points, tracks escort pay rates (hourly or per mile plus hotel/per diem), and generates bundled freight billing for customer reimbursement.
How are specialized accessorials like tarping, chains, and coil racks billed?
Flatbed and open-deck accessorials are automatically populated into the billing engine based on load equipment requirements. Tarp fees (4-ft, 6-ft, 8-ft drop), pipe stake rental, dunnage disposal, and crane detention are captured and billed without manual paperwork auditing.
