Flatbed has been part of who we are since day one.
For over 15 years, our customers have counted on RJ Logistics to cover open deck freight — and we've delivered. That doesn't change. But our Co-Founder, Chris Shyti wanted to be straight with you about where the flatbed market stands right now.
Tender rejection rates are sitting at 35-40% in some markets — more than double what dry van is seeing. Regulations, enforcement, and everything that's shifted in trucking over the last six months have pulled trucks off the road.
Fewer flatbedders. More freight competing for them. That's the reality.
What doesn't change is our commitment. We are not the partner that turns freight away when things get hard. We never have been.
What we ask is simple: give us a few days of heads up. The more runway you give us, the better we perform for you. That's not a caveat — that's how a real partnership works.
