Frequently Asked Questions About Flatbed & Hotshots
What kind of items are typically shipped on a flatbed?
Flatbeds are perfect for cargo that is too large or awkwardly shaped for an enclosed trailer, such as construction materials, industrial machinery, lumber, steel, and large equipment.
Are my shipments protected from the weather on a flatbed?
While flatbeds are open, we can provide tarps to protect your cargo from rain, snow, and other elements, ensuring it arrives in the same condition it was picked up in.
When should I use a hotshot service?
Hotshot services are ideal for urgent, time-sensitive deliveries of smaller loads. If you have a critical part or a shipment that needs to get to its destination as quickly as possible, a hotshot is the best solution.
How do you secure cargo on a flatbed?
We use industry-standard securement methods, including chains, straps, binders, and specialized equipment, to ensure every load is tied down and secured to prevent shifting during transport.
