We operate under full 48-state authority, providing reliable open-deck transport for commercial and industrial shippers. Our fleet utilizes late-model equipment to ensure on-time delivery for building materials, raw commodities, and palletized goods. Whether it is a local job-site delivery in Los Angeles or a long-haul run across the country, we combine professional securement with precise route planning to keep your supply chain moving.
Our fleet runs the Reitnouer Maxmiser, a premium all-aluminum trailer designed to cut weight without sacrificing strength. Unlike standard steel flatbeds, our lightweight setup allows us to legally scale payloads up to 48,000+ lbs. This "maximized" capacity means we can haul heavier single-load shipments—such as dense lumber, steel bundles, or concrete products—that other carriers would have to turn away or split into two trips.
Not all flatbeds are built the same. We utilize equipment specifically engineered for high-strength, concentrated loads. Our trailer is rated to handle heavy industrial coils, machinery, and steel beams that require superior deck strength. We take pride in our expert load securement techniques—utilizing heavy-duty chains, binders, and edge protection—to ensure even the most challenging industrial freight arrives safely and damage-free.
