Flatbeds carry lumber, siding and roofing. Every load runs on a dedicated vehicle with live tracking, proof of delivery and API booking, beside the owner-operator model you already use. ## What problem does Curri solve for home centers in peak season? Spring and summer stretch your owner-operators thin. - **Every hauler runs a little differently.** Delivery runs on contracted owner-operators, so on-time performance depends on who gets the load. - **Building season hits every delivery tier.** Job site, same-day, next-day, and store deliveries all pile onto the same haulers from March through August. - **Nobody can see the peak loads.** Without live tracking or online booking, your team calls the hauler to find out where a load is. ## How does Curri work for home centers in peak season? **Hotshot capacity and tracking beside haulers.** Book a hotshot when contracted haulers are committed in building season. Match flatbeds to lumber, siding, and roofing. Every load runs on a DOT-regulated carrier with insurance and a dedicated vehicle, tracked live and booked by API. ## Which vehicles does Curri use? Flatbeds for long building materials, enclosed box trucks for bagged and crated freight, and cargo vans for smaller jobsite runs. Vehicles Curri books for home centers in peak season: flatbed trucks, box trucks, cargo vans, Sprinter vans, pickup trucks and stakebed trucks. See the full lineup at [Curri fleet](https://www.curri.com/fleet). ## How do teams book and track deliveries? Quote and book in under a minute, then track the truck live with proof on the order. The owner-operator model stays, while booking gets modern. Audit-ready proof on every delivery. Live status from assignment through drop-off, with a photo or signature captured at delivery and attached to the order record. ## Proof **16,000 Carriers** approved and DOT-regulated. When a contractor calls about a late roofing load, the team opens one screen instead of calling the hauler. ## FAQ (matches visible HTML accordion) ### Is Curri a gig marketplace?
