The Flatbed Advantage
Flatbed shipping is essential for cargo that won’t fit in a standard enclosed trailer. From construction materials and heavy machinery to steel beams and oversized equipment, flatbed trailers offer the flexibility and accessibility that specialized freight demands.
Challenges
Shipping oversized or heavy cargo comes with unique challenges. Finding carriers with proper equipment, securing loads correctly, and navigating permit requirements for overweight shipments can delay your supply chain and increase costs.
