Flatbed & Open Deck

We arrange full-load and partial-load shipments for flatbeds, step-decks, and double-drops.

Our team understands the law and requirements that enable us to coordinate even the most complex moves, whether for heavy machinery or oversize moves.  

We also access the nation’s largest fleet of “Conestoga” trailers for step-deck and flatbed conestoga. Customers often call for “rolling tarp trailers” whenever sending their equipment to tradeshows and also whenever they want a piece of newly painted equipment to arrive “factory fresh” and want the equipment covered with tarps touching it.
