What is dunnage in flatbed trucking?
Dunnage is the lumber, blocking, mats, and airbags placed under and between freight so it rides level and stays put on an open deck. On flatbed loads out of Glendale, Connect Express uses dunnage together with chains, straps, edge protectors, and tarps so steel, lumber, pipe, and machinery stay secured and weight stays distributed across the trailer. For shipper-side checklists, see our flatbed load securement guide for shippers. Dunnage also keeps coated or finished surfaces off the deck and makes forklift access easier at delivery. Tell us the dimensions and securement needs of your load through our contact page, or review our oversize and overdimensional hauling options for larger pieces.
What is a flatbed in trucking?
A flatbed in trucking is an open-deck trailer with no sides or roof, so freight can be loaded from the side, rear, or by crane. Shippers use flatbeds for steel, lumber, pipe, machinery, and building materials that will not fit through a dry-van door or need open access for securement and tarping. Legal-size open-deck freight stays on a standard flatbed; pieces that exceed state limits need permits and move as oversize. Connect Express LLC runs flatbed truckload from Glendale and Phoenix for Arizona jobsite and regional lanes. For securement details, see our flatbed load securement guide for shippers. Connect Express LLC, 5701 W Maryland Ave, Glendale, AZ 85301 — 480-401-1998.
When do you need flatbed trucking transportation?
You need flatbed trucking transportation when freight is too long, tall, wide, or irregular for a dry van, or when it must be loaded from the side, top, or by crane. Common freight includes steel, lumber, pipe, machinery, construction materials, and palletized goods that need open-deck access for securement and tarping. Legal-size open-deck loads move on a standard flatbed; pieces past state limits need permits and travel as oversize. Connect Express LLC runs flatbed truckload from Glendale and Phoenix for Arizona jobsites and regional lanes. Connect Express LLC, 5701 W Maryland Ave, Glendale, AZ 85301 — 480-401-1998.
