Frequently Asked Questions

What types of freight can move on a flatbed truck?

Flatbed trucking is used for freight that cannot be loaded into a standard dry van, including machinery, steel, lumber, building products, equipment, and large palletized materials. Loads are typically loaded from the side or top using a forklift or crane, then secured with chains, straps, tarps, and other equipment based on cargo type and route requirements.
