Flatbed & Heavy Haul FAQs
What types of open-deck trailers does Cargolane source?
We source standard 48ft and 53ft flatbeds, step decks (single drop), double drops, lowboys (RGN - removable gooseneck for drive-on equipment), and Conestoga rolling-tarp trailers.
Do your trucks come equipped with tarps, straps, and chains?
Yes. Let us know what your load requires (4ft, 6ft, or 8ft lumber tarps, steel tarps, coil racks, edge protectors, or grade 70 binder chains) and we verify that the carrier is properly equipped before pickup.
How do you vet flatbed and heavy-haul carriers for safety and insurance?
Open-deck cargo requires experienced securement. Before assigning any carrier, we verify active FMCSA authority, CSA safety scores, carrier identity, and $1M Auto / $100K+ Cargo insurance—with strict controls against unauthorized re-brokering.
Can Cargolane coordinate oversized permits and crane-appointment tracking?
Yes. For loads exceeding standard legal dimensions or weight, we coordinate state permits, route surveys, and pilot escorts—plus shipment tracking so your crane or rigging crew at the jobsite isn't left waiting.
