What is Flatbed Transportation?

Flatbed transportation uses open trailers without sides or roofs, making them ideal for oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot fit in standard enclosed trailers. Flatbed Logistics is a third party logistics company (3PL) that provides expert shipping services for a wide variety of industries.

Our team handles cross Canada and cross border TL and LTL over the road shipments and other loads that are not limited to full truckloads (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), over-dimensional cargo, and special equipment including extendable trailers, RGNs, and double drops.

If your business has multiple shipments each day or only requires the occasional small loads, Flatbed Logistics services are flexible and can be tailored to meet each one of your particular needs.

Specialized Offerings

Move your oversized freight with confidence. Our proven track record has allowed us to build an extensive network of trusted carriers throughout Canada and North America, allowing us to efficiently provide competitive pricing with a high standard of quality with the most compatible carriers.

Standard Flatbeds, Step Decks, and Double-Drops

For varied load sizes. Our network of professional flatbed trucking partners have extensive experience in handling a diverse range of flatbed freight from LTL to large, heavy over-dimensional cargo to and from the most remote areas.

Oversized & Overweight Expertise

Permits, escorts, and route planning included. We are intimately familiar with the various uses for different types of flatbed equipment to maximize load capacity while minimizing costs.

Conestoga Trailers

Weather protection with flatbed convenience. Conestoga trailers provide the flexibility of flatbed loading with the protection of an enclosed trailer, ideal for weather-sensitive cargo.

Specialized Equipment

RGN (Removable Gooseneck), multi-axle, and more. Flatbed Logistics utilizes a variety of modern trailers including standard flatbeds, stepdecks, double drops, RGNs, curtain sides and rack & tarps, and multiple axle equipment.

Jobsite Deliveries

Tailored support for construction and industrial projects. With experience in hauling such diverse flatbed freight as machinery, construction equipment, building materials, steel, pre-cast concrete and other specialized commodities, we can provide the specific equipment needed to deliver the flatbed services needed for any project.

LTL on Flatbeds

We often recommend moving smaller shipments, even if urgent, as LTL on flatbeds. This option is often found to be just as efficient and is cost effective, providing flexibility for businesses with varying shipment sizes.
