Built for freight that loads its own way
If your freight is too long, too wide, too tall or too awkward for a dry van, or if it simply loads faster from the side or the top, it belongs on an open deck. Flatbeds carry construction materials to job sites, machinery between facilities and steel from the mill, and they unload where there is no dock at all.
Standard flatbeds, step decks and specialized trailers
Deck height matters as much as deck length. A standard flatbed covers most loads, a step deck buys clearance for taller freight, and specialized configurations handle what remains. Freight Flex matches the trailer to your freight's dimensions and loading method, and when a load exceeds legal limits, the plan escalates to heavy haul with permits and routing handled.
Carriers who tie it down right
Open deck freight rides in the wind and the weather, held by chains, straps, binders and tarps. The 25,000-plus approved flatbed carriers in the Freight Flex network are vetted before dispatch, and loads are matched with carriers experienced in the specific commodity, because a coil, a crate and a curtainside load each secure differently.
