Equipment & Freight Categories

Dispatched by equipment, not guesswork

Freight rates, lane dynamics, and fuel burn vary drastically by trailer type. Here's how we approach every equipment category we dispatch and index.


DV

Dry Van

Enclosed general freight with the largest volume of loads on the spot market. We prioritize high-density commercial lanes, drop-and-hook opportunities, and minimal deadhead to maintain consistent weekly gross revenue.

RF

Reefer

Temperature-controlled produce, meat, beverage, and pharmaceutical freight. Our rate negotiations factor in reefer unit fuel burn, pre-cooling requirements, and continuous temperature monitoring compliance.

FB

Flatbed

Open-deck steel, lumber, building materials, and machinery. We account for tarping fees, strapping time, over-dimensional permits, and crane loading wait times during rate negotiations.

SD

Step Deck

Drop-deck open trailers engineered for taller equipment and industrial machinery that exceed legal height limits on standard flatbeds. We coordinate specialized permits and escort requirements when needed.

BT

Box Truck

CDL and non-CDL straight trucks running local, regional, expedited, and last-mile freight. We focus on high-priority palletized cargo, liftgate delivery surcharges, and dock-high load setups.

PO

Power Only

Tractor-only setups pulling third-party, broker, or shipper-owned trailers. We manage drop-and-hook timing, interchange agreements, and pre-trip trailer inspection logs to keep power units rolling continuously.

Directory Equipment Filtering

Automated USDOT Cargo Mapping

How our software directory engine categorizes active motor carriers for targeted outreach.

FMCSA Cargo Keyword Engine

Raw USDOT census data often buries trailer setups under general terms like "General Freight" or "Metal". Our database pipeline parses cargo classifications, driver counts, and power unit metrics to classify active carriers into six clean equipment categories.

Targeted Equipment Outreach

Subscribers using our $10/month Carrier Pass can instantly filter active motor carriers by specific trailer type (e.g., Texas Reefer fleets or Midwest Flatbed operators) and launch personalized 1-on-1 cold email campaigns with smart tags.
