Flag poles keep getting rejected by freight companies?
Specialty pole shipping solutions from Gateway Distribution in New Mexico, NM.
Standard freight carriers won't touch your flag poles or light poles because they're too long for regular trailers. The securement requirements scare them off. You need poles shipped across New Mexico or beyond, but every carrier you call says no.
Most freight companies reject pole shipments because standard trailers can't handle the length. Flag poles and light poles often exceed 40 feet, requiring specialized flatbed equipment and custom tie-down systems. Regular carriers don't have the right trucks or securement experience for safe pole transport.
Pole shipping typically costs more than standard freight due to the specialized equipment required. Pricing depends on pole length, weight, pickup location in New Mexico, and destination. Expect higher rates than regular LTL shipments because fewer carriers handle this freight type.
Contact Gateway Distribution for pole-specific transportation services. Our flatbed trucks and securement systems are built for oversized pole freight that other carriers reject. We handle aluminum poles, steel poles, and light poles with proper equipment and tie-down experience across New Mexico and nationwide.
Once you work with a carrier equipped for poles, your shipments move reliably without constant rejections. Your poles arrive safely secured and on schedule.

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.
