Flexible flatbed transport solutions
Heavy haul services for oversized loads
Move loads that go beyond the standard size and weight limits. We handle shipments over 46,000 pounds (20,865 kilos), with a combined truck and trailer capacity of up to 80,000 pounds (36,287 kilos), getting your heavy freight where it needs to go.
Specialized capacity for unique shipments
When your cargo requires custom equipment, extra insurance, or third-party clearances, we’ve got the tools and experience to handle it. From high-value goods to super loads, we take care of the details so you can focus on the big picture. Need to protect your shipment? Leverage a conestoga trailer with an integrated retractable tarp system to provide protection similar to an enclosed trailer.
Expert care for over-dimensional freight
Shipping goods that don’t fit standard flatbed dimensions? Our team is skilled in managing over-dimensional freight and handles everything from securing the right permits to choosing the best routes. Leverage expandable trailers that can reach up to 80 feet or lowboy trailers which are perfect for hauling taller items such as heavy machinery.
Cost-effective transport for smaller shipments
Hot Shot trailers which are between 20-40 feet can be hauled by Class 2 pickup trucks and run at a lower cost per mile than standard flatbed trailers. This is a great option when you need to keep costs down on a smaller load.
Seamless coordination for complex job site deliveries
We take the stress out of coordinating deliveries to your job site. From construction materials to heavy machinery, we make sure your shipments arrive on time and in the right order. Work with your dedicated account manager to strategize on the best approach so you can keep your project moving without any delays.

Flatbed shipping FAQs
What can be shipped on a flatbed?
Flatbeds are ideal for shipping large, heavy, or irregularly shaped items that don’t fit inside standard trailers. This includes construction materials, machinery, oversized equipment, vehicles, and even large building supplies. Since flatbeds are open, they’re well-suited for loads that don’t need enclosure or temperature control.
