BOISE, Idaho — Truckstop.com is announcing the acquisition of Wize Load as part of its continued investment in heavy haul, oversized and specialized freight.
“This acquisition reflects our long-term focus on freight that requires more planning than standard truckload,” said Scott Moscrip, founder, CEO, Truckstop. “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.”
Strategic Planning for Heavy Haul
Freight that involves open deck, heavy haul or over-dimensional equipment often requires more planning than standard truckload. Equipment requirements, permits, escorts, routing limits and specialized equipment all affect how loads are priced and moved, and quoting these shipments can take more time without the right data.

“Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates, formerly Wize Load, gives brokers a faster way to estimate pricing by bringing lane data, permit rules, and equipment requirements together in one place,” Truckstop said. “Customers rely on this data every day to quote complex freight faster, win more loads, and protect their margins. Truckstop.com is investing in technology built for freight that does not move dock to dock, including the Truckstop Heavy Haul Load Board, which connects carriers running open deck, flatbed, and specialized equipment to loads built for complex moves.
Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates builds on that effort by adding pricing intelligence designed for oversized, overdimensional and permit-required freight, helping brokers quote faster and move specialized shipments with confidence, the company said in a press release.
“Truckstop will continue offering Truckstop Heavy Haul Rates with the same login and workflow customers use today, while expanding tools for heavy haul, open deck and specialized freight as part of its broader focus on helping the industry price, plan, and move complex loads with confidence,” Truckstop said.
