My freight shipment is too big for regular trucks
Oversized pole transport solutions from Gateway Distribution in Arizona, AZ.
You have flag poles or light poles that need to ship, but every trucking company says no. Standard trailers can't handle the length, and enclosed trucks won't work. Arizona's wide open highways can handle oversized loads, but you need a carrier with the right equipment and permits.
Oversized poles require specialized flatbed equipment that most carriers don't have. Flag poles and light poles often exceed 40 feet in length, making them too long for standard trailers. The height and awkward shape also create securement challenges that regular freight companies avoid.
Pole shipping typically costs more than standard freight due to specialized equipment and routing requirements. Expect to pay premium rates for flatbed service with proper tie-downs and escort vehicles when needed. Costs depend on pole length, weight, pickup location, and delivery distance across Arizona's diverse terrain.
Get exact measurements before calling any carrier. You need length, width, height, and total weight for accurate quotes. Gateway Distribution handles oversized pole freight with flatbed trucks designed for this cargo. Call with your dimensions and pickup location in Arizona for same-day pricing.
Once properly loaded and secured, your poles will arrive safely at the destination. Professional drivers know how to navigate Arizona's highways with oversized loads. Your freight gets delivered without damage, and you avoid the headache of dealing with carriers who can't handle the job.

how much does pole shipping cost
Pole shipping costs more than regular freight because of specialized equipment and permits. Price depends on pole length, weight, and distance. Get quotes from carriers who actually handle poles regularly - they'll price it right the first time instead of adding surprise fees later.
flatbed vs enclosed trailer shipping
Use flatbed for anything over 8 feet tall, oddly shaped, or needing crane loading. Enclosed trailers protect from weather but limit height and loading options. Measure your cargo first, then pick the trailer type.
how long does flatbed shipping take
Flatbed shipping often takes 1-2 days longer than regular freight because of loading time and permit requirements for oversized loads. Factor in extra time for tarping, securing, and route planning. Get a realistic delivery window from your carrier, not just standard transit times.
