Flatbed Stepdeck
Our flatbed stepdeck trucks allow us to transport freight that would typically be too large for a standard flatbed. Since the floor of a stepdeck is lowered, taller freight can be safely loaded and secured without exceeding the legal height limit. While our resources are capable of getting the necessary permits for larger loads, it may be more efficient to simply avoid the need to in the first place. Plus, we can send stepdeck trucks on routes that travel under bridges that would otherwise be too low with a typical flatbed.
Our stepdeck trucks typically carry large freight that’s higher than normal such as heavy machinery. Some of the most common freight transported on stepdeck trucks include the following.
- Farming Equipment
- Farming Vehicles (tractors)
- Excavators
- Building Materials
Dry Van Trucking
Our dry van trucking transportation services offer one of the most popular means of freight hauling on the road. At Barnhart, our dry van trucking services allow business to store freight that is not temperature sensitive in a large container to keep it safe and deliver it to its destination on time. These fully enclosed trailers keep out the elements and prevent tampering, as we prioritize safety for both your items and our personnel.
Opting for a dry van trucking solution offers several advantages over a flatbed that you may not want to miss out on depending on your freight. Barnhart can offer the following benefits.
- Cost effective since our dry van trucks are designed with lightweight materials that reduce fuel costs
- A range of sizes to facilitate a wide variety of freight types
- Dry van trucks are made from durable materials that can withstand tampering and severe weather, keeping the freight inside safe and protected
- Savings with dry van trucking are easy to receive when your freight does not require temperature control
Less than Truckload (LTL)
Barnhart offers Less Than Truckload (LTL) Shipping Services that can transport your freight even if you don’t have an entire truckload’s worth. Partial loads can still be essential for a variety of different businesses, so our LTL solutions are designed to be reliable, convenient, and cost only a fraction of what a full truckload shipment would cost. Our team consists of dispatchers and drivers who coordinate to get your freight to its intended destination with a focus on efficiency and safety.
When you opt for LTL shipping services, you can enjoy a range of benefits for general freight transportation that could make this method the ideal choice for your business such as the following.
- Smaller transportation costs
- Flexible timing for delivery
- Convenient for local moves (though we can take freight across countries if necessary)
- Environmentally sustainable since multiple LTL shipments are combined into a single truck
- Increased safety by having all items in the shipment contained in a singular pallet or container
