Freight Haul Trucking Modes of Transport

When companies need large amounts of goods shipped from one place to another, they call on freight hauler trucking to move those goods. Freight truckers transport crates and pallets of merchandise or raw materials; for smaller loads they may combine it with other LTL freight that needs to be delivered along the same route.

Truckload freight shipping is useful for goods with a gross weight of 5,000 pounds or more. Products that can be put into containers or strapped to pallets make easy freight for box trucks, but with the right tools--like climate-controlled refrigerated trucks or tanker trucks--drivers can handle any freight.

Trucking for Specialized Freight Hauling

In some cases, trucking companies need to use special tools or trailers to transport freight. This often happens in the case of frozen or refrigerated foods, live animals and large or over-dimensional items that cannot fit in a fixed container. In this case, shipments must be secured to open flatbeds or specialized trailers that offer a lower platform to compensate for taller-than-average equipment or machinery. Removable gooseneck trailers allow drivers to detach the neck of the trailer to load large items like equipment or vehicles by way of ramps instead of brute lifting. This becomes useful for extremely heavy items that would otherwise require a crane or other massive equipment.
