The most complete
heavy haul cost estimator.
Permits and escorts are just the start. FreightDeck prices the whole move across all 50 states and Canada, right down to the pole cars, route surveys, bridge review, and utility coordination. And it turns a whole project list into the trucks it takes — priced in minutes.
A superload, priced line by line.
This is a live 280,000 lb superload, Houston to Denver. FreightDeck breaks out every state permit, the pilot and pole cars, engineering and bridge review, bucket truck, and route survey — then layers on the timeline, blackout dates, and daylight-only restrictions.
Every number runs on our own verified per-state cost data, so the estimate holds up on the hard loads other tools can’t price.
The whole move — not just the easy parts.
We’ve spent more than a decade moving oversize and heavy haul freight, and we set FreightDeck to one goal: bring in as much information about the load as possible. Dimensions, weight, route, and every state’s rules — then price the entire move, all the way down to the costs most tools leave you to guess.
The project-freight Truck Builder started as a custom workflow. It uses custom logic to pair each piece of freight to the right trailer and maximize what rides on every truck — turning a long project list into the fewest trucks, automatically.
The idea is simple: stay complete, and stay honest — especially on the hardest loads.
Every cost on the move.
One load, one screen. Every line item, for every state on the route.
Upload a project. Get the exact trucks and trailers it takes.
When a customer sends a 200-line project, FreightDeck determines how many trucks the job needs and the specific trailer each piece requires — packing to maximize trailer utilization — then prices the entire move in minutes. What used to take 4 to 5 hours.
Drop it in
A screenshot (our favorite), a BOL, or an Excel project list, even a messy one.
We read every piece
Pulls dimensions and weights off the page and converts the units if they're off.
FreightDeck builds the trailer list
Determines how many trucks the project takes and matches each piece to the right trailer and configuration — maximizing trailer utilization so you're not paying for empty deck.
Prices the move
Every oversize or overweight piece runs through the full cost estimator: permits, escorts, surveys, and the rest.
Send the bid
Export a clean, ready-to-send Excel bid sheet. In minutes.
See the load before you book it.
Every quote drops straight into a 3D load view, so you can confirm the freight actually fits the trailer — deck, height, and overhang — before you commit.
Trusted on the hardest loads
Heavy-haul brokers and carriers across North America price their oversize moves on FreightDeck, on data verified against primary state and provincial DOT sources.
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.
How much does FreightDeck cost?
Plans start at $40/mo for Solo, with Team and Pro adding seats and higher search volume. You can try FreightDeck free before you subscribe. See full pricing at freightdeck.ai/pricing.
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, converting units if they're metric. It then determines how many trucks the project takes and the specific trailer each piece needs — maximizing trailer utilization — and prices the whole move: permits, escorts, surveys, and the truck.
