It’s no different when it comes to getting that product across the country, or to wherever it needs to go.

Equipment. The equipment involved in allocating your oversized or extraordinarily heavy product can prove to be quite costly.

Flatbeds are used mostly for loads that require crane use, side unloading, or are wide or heavy; tanker trucks are used for liquids, bulk dry goods, gases, cargo, etc, and require a highly experienced truck driver; refrigerated trailers are used for perishable items like food or medications; all of these add to your specialized freight quotes’ total cost.
