About Flatbed Trucking

Flatbed trailers haul construction materials, steel, lumber, machinery, and oversized loads. Rates are typically higher than dry van due to tarping requirements, loading complexity, and specialized skills.

Flatbed Market in the West Coast

West Coast flatbed demand is driven by construction (massive housing and infrastructure projects), lumber from Pacific Northwest forests, and port-related project cargo. Long-haul lanes from California ports to Mountain West and Midwest destinations command premium rates. Seasonal lumber demand peaks in spring and summer. The region's mountainous terrain requires experienced drivers and well-maintained equipment.
