Flag poles keep getting rejected by freight companies?
Specialty pole transportation in New York, NY from Gateway Distribution.
Regular freight companies turn down flag poles and light poles because they're too long for standard trailers. Most carriers don't have the right flatbed equipment or tie-down systems for poles. You need a carrier in New York that specializes in oversized pole freight.
Flag poles get rejected because of their length and unique securement needs. Standard freight trailers can't handle 20-foot or 30-foot poles safely. Most carriers avoid pole shipments because they require specialized flatbed equipment and experienced drivers who know how to secure long, rigid cargo.
Pole shipping typically costs more than standard freight because it requires flatbed trailers and custom tie-down systems. The exact price depends on pole length, weight, and destination. Longer poles need escort vehicles or special routing around low bridges and overpasses.
