Proactive tracking and milestone updates
Single point of contact from quote to delivery

What Is Flatbed Freight?

Flatbed freight refers to shipments moved on open-deck trailers designed to carry cargo that doesn’t fit inside a standard enclosed truck. Without walls or a roof, flatbed equipment allows freight to be loaded from the top, sides, or by crane, making it ideal for oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped shipments.

For shipments that need weather protection without sacrificing open-deck access, Flat World also supports Conestoga trailers — a specialized flatbed solution with a sliding tarp system that creates a covered, trailer-like enclosure while still allowing side and top loading.

When to Use Flatbed or Conestoga Shipping

Flatbed and Conestoga equipment are the right solutions when your shipment:

Exceeds standard trailer height or width
Requires crane, forklift, or side loading
Includes long, bulky, or irregular items
Needs weather protection for sensitive freight
Delivers directly to construction or industrial sites

Common Flatbed & Conestoga Equipment Types

We help match your freight with the right equipment, including:

Standard Flatbed – Open-deck trailers for building materials, steel, and machinery
Step-Deck / Drop-Deck – For taller freight that exceeds standard height limits
Conestoga Trailers – Sliding tarp systems that provide full coverage with open-deck flexibility
Oversize Equipment – For overweight or over-dimensional freight requiring permits or escorts
