Flatbed & Open Deck
Open deck is a different discipline from van freight. The load has to be secured to survive a panic stop, tarped if the weather or the commodity demands it, and legal on height once it is sitting on a deck that is already three and a half feet off the ground.
We match the trailer to the load rather than the other way round, and we tell you when your piece needs a permit before it becomes a roadside problem.
Why shippers use us for this
A tall load on a standard flatbed goes over legal height. A step deck or double drop fixes it without a permit.
Chains, straps, edge protection and corner boards specified per commodity, not improvised at the shipper.
Tarping is labour and it costs money. We quote it up front rather than surprising you with an accessorial.
