Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cargo is suitable for flatbed freight?
Flatbed freight is perfect for oversized, heavy, or uniquely shaped items that can’t fit inside enclosed trailers. Common cargo includes construction materials like steel beams and lumber, heavy machinery, vehicles, large industrial equipment, and crated goods. Flatbeds allow easy loading from all sides, making them ideal for bulky or awkward loads needing open-air transport.
How do you secure and protect flatbed loads?
Our experienced team expertly straps, chains, and tarps each load to secure it against shifting, weather, and road vibration. Drivers conduct thorough safety checks before and during transit to maintain securement. Proper load balancing and professional securement ensure safety and damage prevention throughout the journey.
What are the size and weight limits for flatbed shipments?
Flatbed trailers are typically 48–53 feet long and carry up to around 48,000 pounds legally. Oversized or overweight loads often require special permits. We help navigate size and weight regulations, matching your freight with the right trailer and handling all necessary permits for smooth transport.
Are additional permits required for oversized or heavy loads?
Yes, oversized or heavy shipments often need special permits from transportation authorities. We manage the permitting process to ensure compliance with federal and state laws, so your shipment moves without legal obstacles or fines.
How do I prepare my freight for flatbed transport?
Prepare your cargo by ensuring it’s properly secured on pallets or crates and ready for open-air transport. Provide accurate dimensions and weight. Our team can advise on packaging and load securement to meet safety regulations and protect your freight during transit.
What are the typical transit times and shipping rates for flatbed freight?
Flatbed freight transit times depend on distance, route, and load complexity and might be a bit longer than enclosed trailers. Rates vary based on cargo size, weight, route, and urgency. We provide transparent, competitive quotes tailored to your shipment details.
Do you provide real-time tracking and 24/7 support for flatbed shipments?
Yes, all flatbed shipments come with real-time online tracking, so you can monitor location and delivery status anytime. Our customer support team is available 24/7 to answer questions and assist with your shipment from start to finish.
