Services & equipment

Three decks. One specialty.

Full specifications for every trailer configuration we run, and what each one is actually best at carrying. Not sure which you need? Send the dimensions and we will tell you.

01 — Equipment

Flatbed

Open deck, load from any angle

Flatbeds move building materials, steel, pipe and palletized freight that needs crane or forklift access from any side. Loads are tarped, chained and edge-protected, and secured to the standards set out in the FMCSA cargo securement rules.

  • Structural steel
  • Lumber & building materials
  • Pipe & tubing
  • Palletized freight
  • Baled goods

02 — Equipment

Step Deck

Extra height without a permit

Also called a drop deck. The lower main deck sits at about 40 inches, so freight up to roughly 10' 2" clears legal height with no oversize permit. Ideal when a flatbed would push you over height but an RGN would be more trailer than the load needs. Ramps available for roll-on equipment.

  • Farm equipment
  • HVAC & industrial units
  • Crated machinery
  • Scissor lifts
  • Prefab components

RGN / Lowboy

Heavy haul, drive-on loading

Removable gooseneck lowboys detach at the front to form a ramp, letting excavators, dozers and cranes load under their own power — no crane, no ramps, no lifting. Multi-axle configurations carry heavy iron while keeping axle weights legal, with heavy-haul permitting, escorts and route planning handled as part of the job.

  • Excavators & dozers
  • Cranes
  • Drill rigs
  • Transformers
  • Mining & oilfield equipment

Beyond the trailer

The work that happens before the wheels turn.

Open-deck freight is only half equipment. The rest is permits, routing and knowing which bridge will not take your axle weights.

01

Oversize & Overweight Permitting

State authorizations pulled, pilot cars booked and bridge restrictions cleared before the truck ever loads.

02

Route Planning & Surveys

Height, weight and curfew restrictions checked against the route so the load does not meet a surprise at 2 AM.

03

Project & Multi-Load Freight

Staged delivery windows and a single point of contact for builds that need several trailers arriving in the right order.

04

Direct Dispatch

You deal with the person handling your load, not a ticket queue — with tracking and updates before you have to ask.

Questions

Before you send the load.

We run Canada and the United States, including cross-border freight in both directions. Send us the pickup and delivery and we will tell you straight away whether it is a lane we can cover.
