Flatbed Truck
Flatbed trucks move materials that won’t fit in a box — from pallets and equipment to steel, lumber, and heavy machinery. This section breaks down body lengths, chassis classes, and payload ranges across industries. We highlight common spec mistakes, securement issues, and corrosion problems that shorten lifespan or drive up costs. Expect insights on rental vs. ownership ROI, operator safety, and the overlooked details that determine total cost of ownership.
