Things get a little complicated when it comes to open deck and heavy haul shipping. If your company has this need, you’ll want to partner with a broker who’s ready to walk through it with you from A-Z. First, and probably most importantly, we’ll help you determine what type of truck and trailer combination will best transport and protect the cargo you’re shipping, whether it’s a flatbed, a gooseneck, a lowboy, a double drop deck, or a Conestoga.

Then, we’ll figure out which additional items or services you’ll need. No one on-site? You’ll need a driver to self-load. Shipping wheeled equipment that needs to be driven onto a trailer? You’ll need a ground-loading trailer or ramps. What kind of protection does your freight need? We’ll help figure out if you need tarps, dunnage or pipe stakes. Got heavy freight? We’ll determine how many additional axles will be required.

The goal is to buy just enough equipment to get the job done, without over-buying equipment and accessories you may not need. Able Transport Solutions will find that balance for you.

Would you believe freight that is good to ride in one state can be over-height the moment it crosses into the next? We’ll help you navigate an array of laws and regulations to confirm that the combination we’ve chosen is within legal limits. We’ll also help arrange for permits and escort vehicles if necessary.

After careful planning and considering these variables, we’ll provide a partner driver outfitted to handle your job in a professional and safe way.

We’re seasoned in creating solutions for complex shipping scenarios– that’s why many companies choose us to do the heavy lifting.

If you need to ship oversized, overweight, or otherwise complex loads, we’d love to make the process easier for you. Got questions or concerns? Let’s talk.
