Common flatbed freight

Frequently asked questions

Is double drop the same as a lowboy?

Often used interchangeably; we source double drops for very tall freight needing a deep well.

Do you coordinate permits/escorts when required?

Yes, when dimensions trigger them, we include permits and pilot/escort planning in the quote.

Can you tarp double drop loads?

When feasible; many over-height pieces run open due to size. Tell us finish sensitivity.

What details help pricing?

Exact dimensions, weight, loading method, and site rules let us plan routing and securement correctly.
