OpenDeck is an open-deck load board for owner-operators, small trucking fleets, and dispatchers who haul flatbed, step deck, hotshot, gooseneck, and RGN freight. Built by Load Work, OpenDeck filters out dry van and reefer loads so carriers only search freight that fits their trailer.
Carriers create a profile, list their equipment and target lanes, then search flatbed loads, hotshot loads, step deck freight, and heavy haul/RGN shipments posted by verified freight brokers across the lower 48 states. Load listings update throughout the day.
Key features:
- Open-deck-only load search for flatbed, step deck, hotshot, gooseneck, and RGN trailers
- Filters for load size, weight, and trailer type
- Custom radius load alerts by ZIP code or route, sent by SMS and email
- Broker credit ratings and contact details shown on every load
- Deadhead analysis and freight heatmaps
- Access to trucking insurance and freight factoring tools
- Load Work carrier training included
- Native iOS app; Android access through a mobile web app
- Multi-user accounts: Pro covers up to 5 users and 25 trucks; Enterprise covers unlimited users and trucks and allows dispatcher accounts
OpenDeck uses flat monthly subscription pricing (Pro and Enterprise plans) with no per-load fees, commissions, or long-term contracts. Carriers need an active MC number, DOT number, and insurance to sign up, and can pause or cancel anytime.
