The Service
What Is Flatbed Trucking?
Flatbed trucking uses open-deck trailers with no walls or roof — purpose-built for freight that can't fit inside a standard enclosed trailer. It's the go-to solution for oversized, irregularly shaped, or heavy cargo that needs to be loaded from the sides or top. Flatbed is widely used in construction, oil and gas, steel, manufacturing, and agriculture for loads ranging from structural beams and industrial equipment to wind energy components and prefabricated structures. At Kingsway, our drivers are seasoned experts in securement, tarping, and permit compliance — the details that protect your freight and keep everyone on the road safe.

Our Capabilities
What We Handle
Standard, Step-Deck & Double-Drop
The right trailer for the right load. We match equipment to your freight's dimensions and weight to ensure compliant, damage-free transport.
Securement, Strapping & Tarping
Expert load securement using chains, straps, binders, and tarps. Your freight arrives exactly as it left — no shifting, no weather damage.
Oversize Permit Handling
We manage all oversize and overweight permits, route surveys, and state compliance requirements — so you don't have to navigate the paperwork.
Escort & Pilot Car Coordination
Wide or tall loads that require escort vehicles are fully coordinated through our team — permits, pilot cars, and police escorts when required.
Oilfield, Construction & Industrial
Deep experience moving the heavy freight these industries depend on — pipe, structural steel, rigs, generators, drilling equipment, and prefab materials.
Real-Time GPS & Load Visibility
Track your flatbed load from departure to delivery. Real-time GPS and proactive communication keep you informed at every stage.
