• Flatbeds are often  used at job sites, construction sites, and other places without docks. 
• This is where a flatbed can be your best option!  Flatbeds, due to their unique design, allow you to safely transport materials, equipment, and other cargo that would normally be difficult to load onto a conventional “dry van” trailer.  We specialize in solving unusual shipping requirements.

No problem – we have perimeter deck trailers that can haul up to 150 tons! With both removable goosenecks (RGNs) and extendable ones, we can stabilize the truck to ensure safety and security of your heavy cargo. Depending on your load, ET Motor Freight will custom-tailor the perfect flatbed solution for you, making use of step decks and double decks, lowboys, beam trailers and a variety of other appropriate equipment.
