Flatbed Freight Quotes

For freight that's loaded from the side or top, or too big for an enclosed trailer. Enter your lane in the quote form with dimensions and weight, or email quotes@linklane.to in any format.

What is flatbed freight?

Flatbed trailers have no walls or roof, so freight can be loaded by crane or forklift from any side. Step deck trailers, which LinkLane also books, sit lower to carry taller loads.

Building materials, machinery, steel and other large or heavy items typically ship on flatbeds. Dimensions, weight, securement and tarping needs affect the price.

When flatbed freight is a good fit

  • Building materials, steel, lumber and pipe
  • Machinery and equipment
  • Loads that need to be craned or loaded from the side

How LinkLane quotes it

Every LinkLane quote starts from the lane: where the freight picks up, where it delivers, the equipment and the date.

LinkLane benchmarks that lane against real-time market rates, so the price reflects what moving that freight costs today.
