Flatbed Trucking for Freight Shipping
Let us create the most value for your LTL or truckload transportation needs.
Flatbed freight shipping is an integral service to the transportation industry. Tons of products, machinery and equipment is shipped in the U.S. on flatbed trucks everyday. Nationwide United is proud to be a vital part of that system. Our flatbed freight transport offers the amplitude for pop-up, surge, inter modal, and dedicated services, regardless of industry.
Truckload: Truckload freight shipments typically occupy more than half or the full capacity of a 48′-53′ trailer. This method is generally used when clients have enough items to fill an entire trailer, their freight is schedule-sensitive, or need their cargo in a trailer by itself.Â
Less Than Truckload: Less-than-truckload freight shipments typically occupy less than half of a 48′-53′ trailer. When you book a partial truckload, you split the cost of a truck with other shippers – saving you money.
Flatbed Trailer Equipment
Every flatbed shipping is different. Flatbed trailers are only a base model from which other trailer types derive. Depending on your shipment, flatbed trucking may not be your best option. Get customized solutions to fit your exact needs with our multiple truck configurations:
Step Deck or Drop Deck – Very similar to a standard flatbed trailer. It features a lower deck that allows hauling of taller items up to 10 ft.
Removable Gooseneck (RGN) –Â A specialized lowered flatbed trailer commonly used to haul loads up to 12 feet tall. RGNs are generally used for hauling heavy machinery like industrial equipment.
Flatbed Hotshot –Â Hotshot trailers are utilized for shipping freight products that need expedited shipping. Commonly, flatbed hotshot trailers can haul between 12 and 20,000 lbs.
Double Drop – Commonly used for oversized freight  taller than 10 feet. It’s designed with a  middle well that drops between the front and rear trailer axles, with space ranging from 25 to 29 feet.
Extendable Flatbed –Â Also known as flatbed stretch trailer is ideal for freight that is too long for transporting on a standard flatbed trailer.
Conestoga –Â Conestoga trailers come with a rolling tarp system that is used to cover and uncover the trailer and gives protection to the freight.
Power Only – A power unit (tractor) that pulls an empty trailer. Not necessarily a flatbed trailer, but the power-only option is best if you have a load that doesn’t need the entire truck.
