Frequently Asked Questions

Flatbed freight refers to cargo that requires transportation on a flat, open trailer without walls or a roof. It's typically used for oversized, irregularly shaped, or heavy goods that won't fit in enclosed trailers.

Flatbed shipping is a freight transport method using open trailers for loads too large for enclosed trailers. The open design enables easy loading and unloading from multiple angles—sides, top, and rear.

We offer standard flatbeds, step decks (for taller loads), Conestogas (with retractable tarp systems), and over-dimensional trailers for beams, steel, machinery, and construction materials.

We leverage backhaul opportunities—coordinating with carriers returning home—to secure competitive rates without sacrificing service quality. Our extensive network gives us access to capacity at fair prices.

Look for providers with extensive experience managing flatbed freight, proven expertise in specialized loads, strong carrier networks, and reliable technology. BRW offers all of these plus access to our full transportation and warehousing services.

BRW operates trucking but does not offer flatbed transport with our own fleet. This gives us an unbiased broker perspective—we focus solely on finding you the best flatbed carrier for your specific needs.
