My freight shipment is too big for regular trucks
Oversized pole shipping solutions from Gateway Distribution in Connecticut, CT.
Regular trucking companies keep turning down your oversized poles or equipment because they won't fit in standard trailers. You need specialty transport that can handle the length, weight, and securement requirements of poles and oversized freight throughout Connecticut.
Oversized poles and equipment require specialized flatbed trucks with proper securement systems. Standard enclosed trailers can't accommodate the length of flag poles, light poles, or steel beams. Most carriers avoid this freight because they lack the right equipment and permits for oversized loads.
Costs depend on the exact dimensions, weight, and destination within Connecticut. Longer poles require escort vehicles and special routing around low bridges on I-91, I-95, and I-84. Expect higher rates than standard freight due to specialized equipment and permit requirements.
Get your exact measurements ready before calling any carrier. You need length, width, height, and total weight. Gateway Distribution handles oversized pole transport with the proper flatbed equipment and securement systems. They know which routes work for tall loads and can pull the necessary permits.
Once you find the right carrier, your poles ship safely without damage from improper securement. No more rejected shipments or delays while searching for someone who will take your freight.
Other things people in Connecticut ask
flag pole shipping freight companies
Most carriers won't touch pole freight because of the length and securement requirements. You need a carrier that specializes in poles with the right flatbed equipment and tie-down experience. Gateway Distribution has trucks and securement systems built specifically for pole shipments.
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.
