Flatbed freight is transport for loads that do not fit in a standard enclosed trailer — oversize equipment, structural steel, pipe, lumber, and construction materials that require open-deck loading. WTM Logistics provides flat deck freight across the Peace Region through its flat deck and dry van service.
Flat deck trailers have no walls or roof, which means freight can be loaded from the side, from above, or with a crane. This makes them essential for industrial and construction freight.
When should you use flat deck freight?
Use flat deck when your freight exceeds standard trailer dimensions, requires crane or forklift side-loading, or includes materials that do not need weather protection — steel beams, pipe, lumber, construction equipment, and industrial machinery.
What is the difference between flat deck and dry van freight?
| Factor | Flat Deck | Dry Van |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosure | Open | Enclosed |
| Loading | Side, overhead, crane | Dock-to-dock |
| Height clearance | Unlimited | Standard |
| Weather protection | None — tarping optional | Full protection |
What freight moves on flat decks in the Peace Region?
