Built for the loads other tools give up on.

Most estimators handle the easy moves and go quiet right when the load gets hard — exactly when you need the numbers most. We built FreightDeck the other way around: the more complex the move, the more it surfaces — and every line is explained, so a niche that used to take a mentor to learn is something you pick up as you quote. In heavy haul, the data is everything.

Every cost the move will throw at you.

One load, one screen — every line item, for every state on the route.

State permitsOversize, overweight, and superload fees for every state on the route.
Pilot & escort vehiclesOne or two, triggered by width, height, and length.
Police escortsFlagged where the state requires them.
Pole carsHeight-pole cars for tall loads near wires and signals.
Bucket trucksLine-lifting crews for over-height moves.
Route surveysWhen a physical pre-run of the route is required.
Engineering & bridge reviewStructural analysis of the load and the bridges on the route.
Utility coordinationMoving lines, signals, and obstructions along the route.
Superload detectionFlagged the moment a load crosses the threshold.
Travel & time restrictionsDaylight-only, weekend, curfew, and holiday rules.
Routing & mileageThe per-state mile split for the whole route.
Trailer recommendationThe right trailer and configuration for the load.
Estimated linehaulA market-based baseline, so you never quote the move blind.

Got a whole project list? Turn it into a truck list.

Most heavy-haul work is one load at a time. But when a customer sends a 200-line project, FreightDeck turns the whole thing into a quote in minutes — what used to take 4–5 hours.

1

Drop it in

A screenshot (our favorite), a BOL, or an Excel project list — even a messy one.

2

We read every piece

Pulls dimensions and weights off the page and converts the units if they're off.

3

FreightDeck builds the trailer list

Custom logic matches each piece to the right trailer and configuration for the whole project.

4

Prices the move

Every oversize or overweight piece runs through the full cost estimator — permits, escorts, surveys, and the rest.

5

Send the bid

Export a clean, ready-to-send Excel bid sheet. In minutes.

The difference is the data. FreightDeck runs on our own heavy-haul cost dataset — verified against primary state and provincial sources — so the numbers hold up on the hard loads other tools can't price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FreightDeck?

FreightDeck is the most complete heavy haul cost estimator — built for oversize freight brokers, oversize carriers, and project-freight forwarders. It prices every cost a permitted oversize or overweight move involves — permits, escorts, pole cars, bucket trucks, route surveys, engineering & bridge review, utility coordination, superloads, and travel restrictions — plus an estimated linehaul baseline, across all 50 states and Canada.

Who is FreightDeck for?

Oversize freight brokers, oversize and heavy-haul carriers, and project-freight forwarders and brokers who quote permitted oversize and overweight moves.

How does the heavy haul cost estimator work?

Enter the load's dimensions, weight, and route. FreightDeck returns every cost and requirement for each state on the route — permits, escorts, pole cars, bucket trucks, surveys, superload flags, and travel restrictions — plus an estimated linehaul baseline, across all 50 states and Canada.

What makes FreightDeck more complete than other tools?

Most estimators stop at permits and maybe escorts, and their information degrades as the load gets harder. FreightDeck prices the full cost stack and keeps going — because it runs on its own verified per-state cost data, not a thin layer over someone else's.

Where does the cost data come from?

From our own heavy-haul cost dataset — built and verified from primary state and provincial DOT sources, not scraped or guessed. That depth of data is the whole point: it's why our numbers hold up on the hard loads other tools can't price.

Is FreightDeck free?

Yes, FreightDeck is free during beta. No credit card required.

Can I paste a screenshot or spreadsheet instead of typing?

Yes. Paste a screenshot, BOL, or spreadsheet of a packing list or spec sheet and FreightDeck reads the dimensions and weights for you — and converts the units if they're metric.
