Flatbed shipping is what we do best

Stone, roofing supplies, heavy machinery, building materials — flatbed is our specialty, and it's the freight where a broker who actually knows the load earns their keep.

Why flatbed freight needs a specialist

Flatbed isn't van freight without walls. Every load rides in the open — which means securement, tarping, permits for oversize dimensions, and carriers who know how to chain a machine or strap a stone bundle without damaging it. Our pre-screened flatbed carriers do this work daily, and our brokers ask the right questions up front: dimensions, weight, loading method, and what's waiting on the other end.

What our flatbed carriers haul

Common questions

Do you handle oversize or permitted loads?

Tell us the dimensions and weight when you request the quote — our carriers handle legal-size flatbed daily, and we'll tell you straight whether your load needs permits and what that means for cost and timing.

Who tarps and secures the load?

The carrier — securement is their responsibility and their craft. Part of our pre-screening is making sure crews show up with the right chains, straps, and tarps for the freight.

Can you pick up from a port or rail yard?

Yes — our carriers position around the freight gateways of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana. See our port network on the where-we-ship page.

One call books your freight.

No portals, no accounts, no nine-field forms. Tell a real broker what you're shipping and we'll have pre-screened carriers competing for your load.
