Marcus T.
Hotshot Owner-Operator
“Way easier to find freight that actually fits my equipment. I was tired of digging through general load boards trying to find loads that made sense for my hotshot. OpenDeck makes it much easier to narrow things down and see relevant opportunities without wasting half the day scrolling."
David R.
Flatbed Carrier
“The load alerts are probably my favorite part. Instead of constantly refreshing different boards, I can set up what I’m looking for and get notified when matching freight comes up. Being able to react quickly makes a big difference when a good load gets posted."
Chris M.
Step Deck Operator
“Everything is much more organized. I like having the loads, broker information, and search tools together instead of jumping between Facebook groups and several different platforms. It makes finding my next step deck load a lot simpler."
Jason B.
Gooseneck Owner-Operator
“It helps me think about the next load before I’m empty. The biggest thing for me is cutting down on deadhead. I can start looking for another load near my delivery before I even get there and try to keep the truck moving instead of sitting around waiting."
