What are Flatbed Freight Loads?
A flatbed truck is a large vehicle with a flat, level bed and no sides or roof that’s used to transport heavy, bulky, or oddly shaped cargo: Flatbed trucks are ideal for transporting loads that are too wide for a truck with an enclosed body, or that won’t be damaged by bad weather or rough roads. They’re also used for abnormal loads that require more space than a closed body truck can provide.Flatbed trucks are convenient for loading and unloading goods because there’s no lip to lift things over, and you can load from any direction. However, the goods transported on a flatbed truck must be able to withstand the elements.Flatbed truck drivers are responsible for keeping the cargo secure throughout the trip.They use webbed nylon straps tightened by a winch, or thick steel chains for heavier cargo.Flatbed truck drivers are typically paid more than dry van truckers because they take on more responsibility for cargo safety and spend extra time securing or tarping the cargo.
