Use of Flatbed Trucks for Shipping of Over Dimensional Freight
Any freight which cannot be shipped in closed container truck or trailer is defined as over dimensional freight. Flatbed trucks are generally used during shipping of over dimensional or even size loads. Lumber, Steel Sheets, Statues, Vehicles, Forklifts etc can easily be shipped to construction sites in these flatbed trucks. Flatbed truck drivers are experienced in safe transportation of over sized loads within city limits. In small cities like trucking Farmingdale, Queens, streets are thickly populated and extra caution need to be taken while delivering these shipments. Sometimes special permits are required to be taken for taller loads and escort vehicles at the front and at the back of flatbed truck be positioned for giving directions to the truck driver. Route surveys are also sometimes carried by the trucking companies to deliver the shipment without any damage to the infrastructure by this over dimensional freight.
