What it is
A flatbed is an open trailer with no walls or roof. It's loaded by crane or forklift from the side, which suits long, heavy and oddly shaped freight.
Pace quotes 48′ flatbeds and step decks. The freight is strapped or chained down, and tarped when it needs to stay dry.
When it's a good fit
- Lumber, steel, pipe and building materials
- Machinery and equipment
- Freight too tall or wide to fit through a trailer door
What goes into the price
- The distance, at the flatbed rate
- A fuel charge
- Border and ferry charges where they apply
- Tarps, extra straps and oversize permits are arranged with you after booking
You see each charge on its own line before you book.
Have this ready
- Pickup and delivery cities and the ready date
- The weight, up to 48,000 lb
- Length, width and height, and whether it needs a tarp
