Flatbed Transportation
Flatbed Trucking is for cargo that may not require the enclosure of a dry van. It normally can’t be loaded or unloaded from a dock or can’t fit within the dimensions of a standard truck trailer. Flatbed hauling is necessary for oversized or irregular shaped cargo since the flat surface allows for easy loading and unloading. Examples of items that would be hauled are lumber, pallet freight, steel, and construction materials.
Step-Deck Transportation
Step-Deck Trucking carries tall cargo that exceeds the legal height limit if transported on a traditional Flatbed trailer. Transporting taller hauls on a Step-Deck truck prevents drivers from obtaining certain permits. Step-Deck trailers normally sit lower to the ground than a Flatbed trailer, so ideal items to haul would be equipment for agriculture or the military, various machinery, and tractors.
Over-The-Road Transportation
Rail Transportation
Sometimes there is a need for more than trucking transportation. That’s why we provide additional logistic services such as rail transportation for various shipments and hauling needs. For example, Intermodal transit (the transport of one set of goods within a steel container between two or more modes of transportation) allows for free trade, lowered costs for consumers, and reduced environmental impacts. Other specified methods of rail transportation that we offer include Drayage, Door-to-Port, Door-to-Door, and Port-to-Door. We are currently coast-to-coast, but we plan on having sea transport services in 2023!
We also have transportation services that encompass a variety of other industries that have specific shipment needs. Our team of professionals have the experience necessary for a full suite of transport types, such as:
Specialty Cargo Transportation
Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping
Our FTL shipping services transport large freight quantities on an individual truck trailer for a single shipper. FTL shipping allows you to reserve an entire trailer’s storage and use direct shipments to transport your commodities faster.
Partial Truckload (PTL) Shipping
PTL shipping is ideal for transporting mid-size freight quantities that don’t require full truckloads, depending on their class and size. While PTL has more stops since you share the same truck space with other shippers, it’s a cost-effective transportation option if you don’t need FTL or expedited shipping.
Expedited Loads
When it comes to freight or commodities that need to be delivered quickly, look for our Expedited Transport service. No matter what you are shipping, we ensure your loads are handled in the most delicate manner and arrive at the specific, designated time, without the need to be reloaded.
Tanker Transport
Hazmat Commodities
Steel Coil Shipping
When shipping steel coils, you need a freight company that can navigate legal load and height limits during transit. We offer specialized freight trucking, intermodal, and rail transportation to ship oversized or irregularly shaped steel coil cargo within local/state shipping regulations.
Aerospace Freight Shipping
Our aerospace freight specialists receive compliance training when forwarding or shipping jet equipment, parts, and materials. We understand how to adhere to government/military regulations and work with aerospace officials to transport your high-value commodities safely and securely.
Heavy Loads
If you need to ship heavier freight, like machinery parts or bulk lumber, you must transport them via heavy haul loads. Our heavy load trucks and rail trailers are designed to carry uniquely heavier loads for safer handling per legal max weight capacities.
Hoppers
Dry Vans
Dump Trucks
