- Flatbed trucking services are practical for higher loads because the trucks are without a roof. Maximum legal height of the freight should not exceed 8.5 ft
- The trailer does not have sides which give wider space for the load than the footprint of the trailer (but it has to be according to the safety regulations) not wider than 8.5 ft
- Loading and unloading are easy, with a help of a crane you can load everything that can be lifted but not over 48,000 pounds.
Reefer
These trucking services are used for transporting temperature sensitive products that need to be chilled or frozen from point A to point B. The temperature inside the trailer can vary depending on the needs of the products. The outside temperature does not affect the products because the temperature can be controlled inside the trailer.

Most Popular – Dry Van
Why dry van trucking services are most popular? It is the most common system for transporting loads across interstates. You can transport loads that
- do not require controlled temperature inside the trailer
- Fit the dimensions of the inside space of the truck without breaking the weight limitations
- Your freight will be protected because it is placed in a closed space which makes it protected from the weather (rain, snow, or any direct exposure to the outside factors).
- This service does not require special equipment to secure the load if you properly packed the load in pallets.

It can be less than load or full truck loads (FTL) depending on your needs. You can use FTL if you have enough goods to cover the full space of the truck and if you can cover the full space you can be sure that your freight will be delivered much faster than with LTL trucking services. Why is that? With FTL, freight is moving from point A/shipper to point B.
