Flatbed
Flatbed is open deck freight with no walls and no roof. Out of west Orange County that usually means structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing material and palletized building products headed to job sites around Winter Garden, Horizon West, Apopka and the rest of the Central Florida build-out, plus longer runs into the Southeast. Because the load is exposed, securement is on you, and it is governed by FMCSA standards under 49 CFR Part 393. You will work with straps, chains, binders, edge protection and tarps depending on what is on the deck. Compared with dry van you trade physical work for time. Most pickups and drops happen in yards or on job sites rather than at an appointment door, so you spend far less of your week waiting on a dock. Flatbed is where our open deck operation starts. The securement habits you build here carry straight into stepdeck and lowboy.
