    WHAT IS FLATBED TRANSPORTATION AND SHIPPING?

    Flatbed shipping is ideal for transporting cargo that may not need the enclosure of a dry van, can't be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or exceeds standard truck trailer dimensions. Flatbeds are designed to accommodate loading from all angles, utilizing cranes and forklifts for versatile cargo handling.

    FLATBED TRUCKING SERVICES WE OFFER

    Flatbed FTL

    If your shipment is big enough to take a full trailer, we can help you with the right equipment to make this happen. Whether one truck is enough or you need multiple vehicles, we can arrange it.

    Oversize Shipments

    Legal requirements for oversize shipments vary across U.S. states, emphasizing the importance of understanding and complying with the specific regulations in each state. Let LAX Freight make sure your shipment is delivered safely and on time.

    Consolidated

    Your load might not often require an entire deck space and have enough extra time to deliver. To reduce the cost, while also limiting carbon emissions, we can consolidate your shipment with others ensuring the most cost-efficient way to ship.

    • 29’x8’6”x11’6”
