Flag poles keep getting rejected by freight companies?

Specialty pole transportation in Louisiana, LA from Gateway Distribution.

CONTACT US (888) 806-8206

You need flag poles or light poles shipped across Louisiana, but every freight company you call says no. They tell you the poles are too long, they don't have the right equipment, or they can't secure them properly for transport.

Standard freight carriers reject pole shipments because of length restrictions and securement challenges. Most trucking companies use standard trailers that can't handle poles over 40 feet. They also lack the specialized tie-down systems needed to secure poles safely during transport.

Pole shipping typically costs more than regular freight because it requires flatbed trucks with extendable trailers and custom securement equipment. The final price depends on pole length, weight, pickup location in Louisiana, and delivery distance. Expect higher rates than standard LTL freight due to the specialized equipment requirements.

You need a carrier that specializes in pole freight with the right flatbed equipment and tie-down experience. Gateway Distribution operates trucks and securement systems built specifically for pole shipments across Louisiana's Interstate 10, Interstate 20, and Interstate 55 corridors. Call them for a quote instead of wasting time with carriers who will just turn you down.

Once you find the right carrier, your poles get picked up on schedule and delivered safely. No more rejection calls or delays while you hunt for someone willing to take the job.

Other things people in Louisiana ask

oversized freight shipping

Flatbed trucks handle oversized cargo like machinery, steel beams, and construction equipment. Get the exact dimensions and weight before you call. Gateway Distribution specializes in flatbed transport for oversized freight that won't fit in enclosed trailers.

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.
