Which trailer should you request?
Flatbed trailers provide an open deck for freight that requires loading access beyond a standard enclosed trailer.
Step deck trailers have a lower deck section that may suit certain taller loads. The appropriate equipment depends on the complete loaded dimensions, weight and route.
Not sure which to choose? Describe the cargo and loading setup in your request so our team can review the requirements with you.

Common questions
Can you quote a load if I am unsure of the equipment type?
Start with the details you know and identify anything still to be confirmed. Equipment selection should follow a review of the load requirements.
What about oversized or overweight freight?
Use our Specialized / Oversized / Overweight quote form, including for RGN and heavy-haul requests. Equipment, route and any permit or escort requirements need to be reviewed before a shipment is booked.
Should I mention tarping or special loading needs?
Yes. Include them in your initial request so they can be considered when reviewing the shipment and pricing.
