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 Midwest
The Midwest flatbed market is driven by steel production (Indiana, Ohio), agricultural equipment, and construction materials. Detroit's automotive supply chain generates consistent loads of raw materials and components. Seasonal patterns follow construction cycles, with peak demand from March through October. The flat terrain and grid-like highway system allow efficient routing with fewer weather-related restrictions than mountain regions.
