Flag poles keep getting rejected by freight companies?

Standard freight carriers turn down flag poles and light poles because they're too long for regular trailers. Most companies don't have the right flatbed equipment or tie-down systems for poles. You're stuck calling carrier after carrier in Colorado, getting the same rejection.

Flag poles get rejected because they exceed length limits for standard trailers and require specialized securement. Most carriers use dry vans or short flatbeds that can't handle 20-foot, 30-foot, or longer poles. The liability and equipment requirements make most companies say no immediately.

Pole shipping typically costs more than regular freight because it requires flatbed trucks with extended trailers and specialized tie-down equipment. Pricing depends on pole length, weight, and distance. Expect to pay premium rates, but the alternative is having no carrier willing to move your poles at all.

You need a carrier that specializes in oversized pole freight with the right equipment and securement experience. Gateway Distribution has flatbed trucks and tie-down systems built specifically for pole shipments across Colorado. Call them directly instead of wasting time with carriers who will just reject your shipment.

Once you find the right carrier, your poles move safely without damage or delays. You get reliable pickup and delivery dates instead of scrambling to find someone who will take the job.
