Truckstop is putting more focus on the specialized side of freight, adding new tools aimed at heavy haul and oversized loads. The company recently acquired Wize Load, bringing its rate estimation platform into the Truckstop system.
The move builds on Truckstop’s push into open deck and specialized freight, where pricing and planning are more complex than standard truckload work.
Bringing Pricing and Load Matching Together
Wize Load’s Wize Rate platform is designed to help estimate rates, review lanes, and understand the full cost of moving oversized freight. By bringing that into its system, Truckstop is combining two pieces that are usually handled separately.
On one side, there is load access. On the other hand, accurate pricing for jobs that often involve permits, escorts, and specific equipment. Putting both in one place is meant to simplify how those loads are handled from start to finish.
Building on Recent Heavy Haul Expansion
This acquisition follows the rollout of Truckstop’s Heavy Haul Load Board Pro, which connects carriers running flatbed, open deck, and other specialized equipment with loads that require more planning than standard freight.
With Wize Load now part of the platform, the goal is to create a more complete workflow. Users can find a load and work through pricing without switching between different systems.
Focus on the Real Costs Behind Oversized Freight
Heavy haul moves come with variables that do not apply to typical loads. Permits, route restrictions, escorts, and equipment requirements all affect the final rate. Missing any of those details can cut into margins quickly.
Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates, the updated version of the Wize Load platform, brings those factors together with lane data so users can build more accurate quotes before a truck is dispatched.
“When a load involves permits, escorts, or specialized equipment, pricing has to be right before the truck moves,” Moscrip said. “Our customers use this data every day to quote complex shipments faster, win more loads, and protect their margins. Bringing Wize Load into Truckstop helps us keep building the tools transportation professionals rely on to run their business.”
What Users Can Expect
Truckstop plans to keep the existing login and workflow in place while continuing to develop tools for heavy haul, open deck, and specialized freight.
The addition of rate intelligence alongside load access reflects a broader shift toward giving carriers and brokers more control over both pricing and planning in one system.
