Flatbed Shipping
Powered by Truckendorf Trucking
Flatbed shipping is when freight is transported on an open trailer. It is commonly used when the material being shipped needs to be loaded directly from above or the side.
Flatbed shipping is used for over-dimensional freight and overweight freight. It is used heavily within the metal and construction industries.
Information Needed for a
Flatbed Quote
When requesting a quote for your flatbed freight, it is important to include some key details so there are no surprises along the way. An example would be how long it will take to load or unload the truck, using your crew. Loading and unloading times vary depending on the type of freight being shipped. As always, you will need to include origin, destination, and weight, as well as the dimensions of what is being shipped and any type of special loading provisions. No surprises means the delivery goes smoothly for everyone.

Benefits of Shipping with a Truckendorf Flatbed
There are many things which can be loaded on a flatbed trailer which cannot be loaded onto anything else. When you have something which is very difficult to move, such as farming equipment, military equipment, or entire buildings, then a flatbed trailer is the mode of transport you will want to use.
Flatbed trailers are very easy to load since they can be accessed from any angle. Unlike other trailers, with a flatbed you have a variety of methods to get your shipment onto the trailer; overhead, from the side, or from above with a crane.
