WHAT IS FLATBED TRANSPORTATION USED FOR?
Flatbed trailers are known for carrying freight, including cargo containers, raw materials, and more, but can also be used to carry large industrial, construction, and agricultural equipment. They are also used to carry industrial, construction, and agricultural vehicles as long as these vehicles are not too heavy, long, or tall, which would necessitate a more specialized trailer.
One of the main advantages of flatbed truck services is that they can be loaded to any degree of fullness, meaning that you can use a flatbed to haul one small item, many smaller items, or one or two very large pieces of equipment. Flatbeds, like all equipment that Heavy Haulers use, are graded to carry significant weight across long distances.
HOW MUCH CAN A FLATBED TRAILER CARRY?
A flatbed trailer cannot exceed 53′ in length, and legal flatbed trailers are often found in 48′ length and 8.5′ wide dimensions, with a depth allowance of 8.5′ to accommodator removable gooseneck (RGN), drop decks, and step decks.

LTL FREIGHT SHIPPING ON A FLATBED TRAILER
LTL freight shipping is used when there is a partial load that doesn’t use the entire trailer. In these cases, you only pay a part of the expense of hauling a full load. G&G Transport offers LTL freight shipping, which reduces the cost of your flatbed transport services considerably. The rest of the flatbed trailer can be filled with other customers’ shipments, with each shipper paying their portion of the entire freight cost. In addition to the reduced price, the security of your shipment is better, since most LTL loads are palleted. A well-packaged pallet adds an extra level of safety to your shipping process. When you trust your LTL shipment to the professionals at G&G Transport, you know you have decades of experience in palleting and loading your partial load working for you.
