FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Flatbed truck shipping is ideal for transporting oversized, large, or irregularly shaped freight that doesn’t fit in a standard enclosed trailer. This includes construction materials, heavy machinery, large equipment, steel coils, pipes, and other loads that need easy loading and unloading from the sides or top.
DTS prioritizes the safety of every flatbed shipment. Our experienced carriers train to secure loads properly using chains, straps, tarps, and other securement tools to prevent shifting during transit. We also comply with all DOT regulations, including weight limits and safety inspections, ensuring your freight transports safely and efficiently.
Flatbed shipping offers versatility and flexibility for oversized or heavy loads that require unique handling. Flatbeds with no walls or roofs allow for quick and easy loading and unloading from any angle, saving time and reducing labor costs. This method is ideal for routes where cranes or forklifts load and offload cargo.
DTS provides various flatbed trailer options to accommodate different types of freight, including standard flatbeds, step decks, double drops, and extendable flatbeds. Each trailer type offers unique features for transporting specialized loads, ensuring we have the right equipment to meet your shipping needs.
Weather can impact flatbed shipping, especially since the freight is exposed to the elements. DTS utilizes high-quality tarps, straps, and securement techniques to mitigate risks and protect freight from rain, snow, and wind. We also monitor weather conditions closely to plan routes that minimize exposure to adverse weather, ensuring your cargo arrives safely and on time.
