Truckstop.com is deepening its commitment to specialized freight with the acquisition of Wize Load, a rate‑intelligence platform built specifically for open deck, heavy haul, and over-dimensional shipments.
Announced earlier this month, the deal brings new pricing and planning capabilities into the Truckstop ecosystem at a time when complex freight continues to grow in both volume and operational difficulty.
Freight that requires open‑deck equipment, specialized trailers, or over-dimensional handling often demands more planning than standard truckload. Permits, escorts, routing restrictions, axle configurations, and equipment availability all influence how these loads are priced and moved. Without accurate data, quoting can be slow, inconsistent, and risky for brokers trying to protect margins.
Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates—formerly Wize Load—aims to solve that problem by consolidating lane data, permit rules, and equipment requirements into a single interface. According to Truckstop, customers rely on this information daily to quote complex freight faster, win more loads, and reduce exposure on shipments where a small mistake can lead to major cost overruns.
The acquisition aligns with Truckstop’s broader strategy to support freight that does not move dock-to-dock. The company has already invested in the Truckstop Heavy Haul Load Board, which connects carriers running open deck, flatbed, and specialized equipment to loads built for complex moves. Adding Wize Load’s pricing intelligence strengthens that offering by giving brokers a clearer picture of what it takes to move oversized and permit‑required freight.
“This acquisition reflects our long‑term focus on freight that requires more planning than standard truckload,” explained Scott Moscrip, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Truckstop.com. “We are doubling down on technology built for heavy haul, oversized, and over-dimensional freight, including the Heavy Haul Load Board and now Heavy Haul Rates. When a load involves permits, escorts, or specialized equipment, pricing has to be right before the truck moves. 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.”
Truckstop said that Heavy Haul Rates will continue operating with the same login and workflow customers use today. Over time, the company plans to expand its suite of tools for heavy haul, open deck, and specialized freight, reinforcing its focus on helping brokers price, plan, and execute complex moves with confidence.
