Service Overview

Open Deck Freight Handled By People Who Know Securement

Open deck freight fails for one of two reasons: the wrong trailer or the wrong securement. We size the equipment to your load's dimensions, weight, and center of gravity, then confirm the carrier carries the tarps, chains, coil racks, or edge protection the commodity actually requires.

From a single machine to a full jobsite delivery schedule, we coordinate loading support, tarping requirements, and delivery sequencing so your crew is not standing around waiting on a truck.

  • Flatbed, step deck, double drop, and Conestoga capacity
  • Tarped, coil, and machinery specific securement
  • Jobsite and delivery sequenced scheduling
  • Legal and light permit over dimensional loads

FAQ

Step Deck / Flatbed Transportation Questions, Answered

What is the difference between flatbed and step deck?

A standard flatbed deck sits about 5' high and handles freight up to roughly 8'6" tall. A step deck drops to about 3'6", allowing taller freight to stay within legal height.

Do you provide tarps?

Yes. Tarping requirements are confirmed at booking, including 6' or 8' lumber tarps, steel tarps, and smoke tarps where needed.

Can you move over dimensional flatbed freight?

Yes. Loads exceeding legal width, height, or length are handled through our heavy haul team with permits and escorts as required.

Who is responsible for loading?

The shipper typically loads, but the driver is responsible for securement. We confirm both roles up front so nobody is surprised at the dock.

Do you deliver to active jobsites?

Yes. We confirm access, ground conditions, and unloading equipment before dispatching to any jobsite.
