About Flatbed Trucking
Flatbed trailers haul construction materials, steel, lumber, machinery, and oversized loads. Rates are typically higher than dry van due to tarping requirements, loading complexity, and specialized skills.
Flatbed Market in the South Central
The South Central region is the epicenter of American flatbed freight, driven by the oil and gas industry in the Permian Basin, steel pipe manufacturing in Houston, and massive construction across Texas. Oilfield equipment moves between Midland-Odessa and Houston create some of the highest-paying flatbed lanes in the nation. The region's year-round construction season means flatbed demand rarely dips.
