Loads we haul
Steel coil shipping
Ship steel coils nationwide with flatbed equipment selected for the actual coil weights, footprint, and loading requirements. Montana and Northwest lanes connect to the same nationwide dispatch and quote service.
Provide diameter, face width, eye orientation, weight per coil, and count. Confirm the required racks, dunnage or cribbing, chains or straps, and weather protection with dispatch before booking; these details are planning inputs, not a securement prescription.
Steel coil shipping in Montana and the Northwest
For a Billings or Great Falls delivery, give dispatch the receiving facility, appointment window, and unloading equipment along with the coil specifications. A ZIP code alone does not establish whether a site can unload the freight.
Missoula and Butte shipments can connect with Idaho and Washington along I-90; Wyoming connections and longer nationwide lanes are also within our service scope. Share the complete lane rather than limiting the request to a nearby state.
Common examples
- Steel coils (eye-to-the-sky / eye-to-the-side)
- Skidded coils / slit coils
- Coil + accessory freight (bands, packaging)
- Pickup at mills, service centers, ports/rail ramps

Frequently asked questions
What information do you need to quote steel coils?
Send the lane, ready date, coil count, diameter, face width, weight per coil, and eye orientation. Include racks or cribbing, tarp requirements, loading equipment, and receiving appointments.
Can steel coils move on a standard flatbed?
They may, when the actual trailer capacity, weight distribution, coil support, and loading arrangement are suitable. Dispatch and the carrier must confirm the equipment and securement requirements before booking.
When should steel coils be tarped?
Provide the shipper or receiver specification for weather protection, especially for coated or moisture-sensitive material. Confirm coverage and handling restrictions before equipment is assigned.
Do you ship steel coils nationwide and through Montana?
Yes. We review nationwide lanes, including shipments into and out of Montana and connections with Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming. Availability and pickup windows are confirmed for the specific load.
