A quick guide to the open deck and enclosed trailers we book most often out of Houston. Not sure which one you need? Send us the dimensions and weight and we'll recommend one.
The open deck workhorse, loaded from the sides, the top or the rear.
Good for steel, lumber, pipe, building materials and machinery that fits within legal height. Loads with a forklift or crane from any side.
Quote a Flatbed loadA lower rear deck for taller freight that won't clear on a flatbed.
Also called a drop deck. A common choice for CNC machines, tractors, buses, switchgear and taller equipment that's still legal height.
Quote a Step Deck loadThe gooseneck detaches so equipment can drive or roll on from the front.
Made for construction equipment, cranes, transformers and other heavy, tall loads. Extra axles can be added for very heavy freight, with permits.
Quote a RGN loadA low well between the gooseneck and the rear axles for the tallest freight.
Similar profile to an RGN with a fixed gooseneck. Loaded by crane or forklift, it suits tall vessels, transformers and machinery.
Quote a Double Drop loadA flatbed or step deck with a rolling tarp system for weather protection.
Combines open deck loading with an enclosed ride. Good for switchgear, finished machinery, electronics and anything that can't get wet.
Quote a Conestoga loadA heavy-duty pickup pulling a gooseneck flatbed for fast, smaller loads.
Good for expedited parts, a single smaller machine or a time-critical delivery that doesn't need a full semi.
Quote a Hotshot loadAn enclosed trailer for palletized or floor-loaded freight.
When freight must be fully enclosed and fits through the rear doors: palletized parts, boxed components and general freight.
Quote a Dry Van loadDimensions and weights are typical figures for planning only. Actual limits depend on the specific tractor, trailer, axle configuration, and state and federal regulations. Loads over legal limits require permits.
Send the dimensions, weight and how it loads, and we'll recommend the right trailer with your quote.
