Flatbed Services

Roughly Seventy Percent of our Business is Flatbed.

Flatbed trucking refers to the transportation of oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped loads using trucks with flatbed trailers. Unlike enclosed freight options, flatbed trailers have no sides or roof, allowing for flexible and easy loading and unloading of goods that require specialized handling, such as construction materials, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment.

Flatbed trucking is ideal for shipments that cannot fit into standard enclosed containers or require open-air transport. It’s often used for deliveries that need to be loaded and unloaded from the top, side, or rear of the truck.
