Your freight shipment is too big for regular trucks?
Oversized pole freight solutions from Gateway Distribution in Kansas, KS.
Regular trucking companies keep saying no to your oversized poles or equipment. Standard trailers can't handle the length or weight. You need specialized transport that most carriers won't touch, especially across Kansas's interstate network.
Oversized freight means cargo that exceeds standard trailer dimensions or weight limits. Flag poles, light poles, and construction equipment often fall into this category. Regular carriers avoid this freight because it requires special permits, routing, and securement equipment they don't have.
Cost depends on your cargo's exact dimensions, weight, and destination. Oversized loads typically cost 2-3 times standard freight rates. Longer poles or heavier equipment increase the price. Routes along I-70 or I-35 through Kansas may require pilot cars or specific travel windows.
Get your cargo's exact length, width, height, and weight before calling anyone. Gateway Distribution handles oversized pole freight with flatbed trucks designed for this work. They know Kansas permit requirements and have the securement equipment regular carriers lack.
Once arranged, your oversized freight moves safely to its destination. No more carrier rejections or delays. Your poles arrive intact and on schedule.
Other things people in Kansas 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.
