Understanding Flatbed Shipping and Getting the Best Quote
Finding the right flatbed shipping quote can be challenging. Whether you’re moving heavy equipment or construction materials, TLI makes it simple. Flatbed shipping is a versatile method used to transport large or unusually shaped loads. Because flatbeds have no sides or roof, they allow easy loading and unloading for freight that wouldn’t fit in a standard trailer. TLI offers dependable flatbed freight shipping quotes, giving you flexibility and reliable service to meet your specific needs.
Choosing the Right Flatbed Trailer
Flatbed trailers come in various sizes to accommodate different types of loads. The most common are 48-foot and 53-foot trailers. A 53-foot flatbed trailer offers more length for larger loads, while a 48-foot trailer is typically lighter and more versatile. For even larger, heavier hauls, we can provide lowboys, step decks, or double drops, which allow for heavier and taller loads than standard flatbeds. Each
FTL equipment type has its benefits depending on the cargo and its specific height, weight, and access requirements.
Flatbed Tarping Options for Extra Protection
Tarping your load is essential for protecting your freight from weather and road conditions. Depending on the height of the load, different tarp sizes may be needed:
- 4' Tarp
- Best for smaller loads that don’t need much coverage.
- 6' Tarp - Ideal for medium-height loads.
- 8' Tarp
- Perfect for taller freight that requires full coverage.
TLI makes it easy to select the right tarping option for your load to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Please be advised however that 8' tarps are very heavy, so the driver will need support at origin to ensure the freight is rigged safely & securely.
