Specialty Cargo Delivered with Care

Light Pole and Flag Pole Transportation & Logistics Experts

Specialty Cargo Delivered with Care

Your aluminum poles, steel poles, and oversized machinery arrive bent, scratched, or completely destroyed because standard freight carriers don't understand how to handle specialty cargo. They treat your $50,000 lighting equipment like regular boxes, using improper tie-downs and inexperienced drivers who've never secured a 40-foot pole.

Damaged shipments mean project delays, insurance claims, and angry customers waiting for replacements that could take weeks to manufacture again. We specialize in moving poles, lighting equipment, and oversized freight with drivers trained specifically for specialty cargo, proper securing techniques, and competitive rates that protect both your shipment and your timeline.

  • Light Poles and Flag Poles Distribution Experts
  • Drivers trained to handle specialty cargo
  • Dry Van transportation for oversized and unconventional freight
  • Full truckload dedicated service for maximum security
  • Expedited freight services for urgent project deadlines
  • Competitive rates without compromising quality and security

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★5.0across 9 reviews
★★★★★
Challenging and rewarding place to work The OTR driving position is a challenging and rewarding job. After the first day on the route you set up the delivery times with the customers. Most runs are 4-6 days with 15 - 25 stops. Your pay is based on miles, stops, driver assists, layovers and per diems. It pays well. The dispatch team is very helpful if any problems occur with the deliveries. The trucks and trailers are well maintained 1/3/23
