About the DeckX Division
DeckX is a divison of the TransX Group of Companies established in 1996 to offer open deck services to customers domestically and internationally. 25 years later, we have maintained an excellent reputation as a leading provider of open deck services for the railroad, locomotive, steel, agricultural, oil and gas, construction, aerospace, and mining industries, and including many other specialty manufacturing sectors within North America. Today, our fleet encompasses approximately 110 trucks and is operated by some of the safest and best flat deck transportation professionals in the industry.
Here at DeckX, each driver is our most important business partner. Our courteous, friendly and experienced fleet managers will work with you to carefully plan your trips to enable you to maximize your earnings while on the road. DeckX is not a forced dispatch environment. We are committed to our drivers' well-being, and maintain a true open-door policy. You can book time off with just a few days notice. There are no policies surrounding minimum days off. Your home time is guaranteed. We plan your tour in order for you to reset your hours of service at home, not on the road.
Safety is the #1 priority at DeckX. Our drivers will never be asked to load, secure, or tarp a load that is deemed unsafe to do so. Our drivers know that they can call any one of us if they encounter unsafe working conditions. We will immediately correct any situation deemed unsafe.
Operating with a philosophy of continual improvement, we strongly encourage you to suggest new ideas that help make improvements to our policies and practices. Encouraging these behaviors has led to a more productive work environment, and resulted in a knowledgeable team of professionals all dedicated to the satisfaction of our customers' needs.

Mileage Based Pay
Here at DeckX we use a Mileage Pay System. We believe this is the most consistent and stable method of paying truck drivers for their work in this industry, especially when we talk long distance transportation.
Here are the reasons we believe paying per miles* traveled is much better for you;
- No need to hustle or negotiate for loads. We plan, book and supply the loads to you, which saves your time and energy and gives you a more consistent and regular work flow.
- Pay is more stable as it is based on the miles and hours worked, not on a percentage that regularly fluctuates due to sudden changes in the market or the economy.
- Pay is provided for both loaded and empty miles; so no need to worry about driving empty at your own expense after unloading.
- A higher probability of getting more consistent and regular work as the pay is not based on type of location or the load you have to haul. This also eliminates competition with other drivers, and reduces the stress of not getting the types of loads that you need in order to meet your financial targets.
- Better financial planning & budgeting as you consistently know what your end of the day pay is going to be.
- Your extra work is paid for; including first pickup and stop off.
- Chance to earn more money than you do on percentage pay basis, especially with long hauls.
- No need to audit freight bills.
- No need to worry about the broker’s cut of the revenue.
- Less overhead expenses and operating cost as we pay for permits, tolls, insurance and licensing.
- Less time spent managing your day to day operations; time is money!
- Overall, getting paid by the mile makes it easier to track and manage financial outcomes, which is more convenient for your family and household budgeting.
