Freight Agents (Flatbed / Open-Deck / OD) — If You Live in the “Hard Freight,” Read This

There are plenty of flatbed brokerages.

But not many are built for true project freight — the loads that come with:

• permits and routing complexity
• jobsite coordination
• unusual dimensions / time windows
• securement expectations
• constant “problem solving” that can’t be handled by a script

That’s where we operate.

Treadstone Logistics is a specialized open-deck and overdimensional operator based in Arkansas (rapidly becoming a major steel and fabrication hub). We run assets, an in-house diesel shop, and a brokerage built around the freight most brokers say they do — but don’t want on Friday afternoon.

We’re adding 2–3 experienced agents who already move open-deck/OD freight and want a home that actually understands it.

What makes Treadstone different

• We understand OD / permit-driven freight and jobsite execution
• We have asset capability for the loads your network can’t cover
• We have in-house maintenance (less downtime = more reliability)
• We’re operator-led: fast decisions, no corporate red tape
• We focus on relationships and execution, not volume for volume’s sake
• We know that in the brokerage business, credit is king: Our Trucking and Broker sides are both backed by Love’s Financial

Who this is for

• You already move flatbed / step-deck / RGN / OD freight
• You have a book of business you control
• You’re tired of brokerages that don’t support “hard freight” when it gets messy
• You want a place where specialized freight is the core, not a side category

What you get

• Strong split (based on experience + book)
• Freedom to run your book
• Back-office support (billing/collections)
• A team that can actually help you solve tough open-deck/OD problems

If this sounds like you, send us a message!!
