Oversize Open-Deck Freight Service
Over-width, over-height, or over-length freight may fit conventional flatbed, step-deck, double-drop, or extendable equipment. Complete dimensions, total weight, and loading access determine whether the shipment fits ordinary open-deck service.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of oversize freight fits this service?
Dimensionally oversize freight that can be matched to conventional open-deck equipment. Complete measurements, weight, and access details are needed to assess the shipment.
Can permits affect the shipment?
Routine dimensional permit requirements may affect pricing and travel windows. Requirements depend on the actual shipment and route and need review before booking.
Which trailer should I request?
Share dimensions, weight, footprint, and loading methods. A standard flatbed, step deck, double drop, or extendable deck may be suitable depending on the complete freight profile.
Can the freight be tarped?
Share weather sensitivity and packaged dimensions so tarp suitability and protection needs can be assessed.
