/ Services / Flatbed

Open deck.
No limits.

Steel, machinery, lumber, oversized fabrications — if it won't fit in a box, it goes on open deck. Flatbed for standard loads, step decks for taller freight, RGNs for the heaviest hauls, and Conestoga trailers for cargo that needs full enclosure. The right equipment, matched to the load, before the truck rolls.

01 / Open deck freight

If it doesn't fit in a box, it fits on our deck.

02 / Securement & tarping

Tarps, chains, escorts — we spec it right.

Proper load securement isn't optional. Our ops team confirms securement requirements before dispatch — tarps, chains, straps, edge protectors — and coordinates permits, escorts, and route surveys for over-dimensional loads.

03 / Oversize & heavy haul

Permits, pilots, and route surveys — coordinated.

Over-dimensional and overweight loads require state-by-state permits, pilot cars, and sometimes utility coordination. Our ops team handles the entire permit process, route planning, and escort scheduling — you just tell us what needs to move.
