My freight shipment is too big for regular trucks
Oversized pole shipping from Gateway Distribution in South Dakota, SD.
Your flag poles or light poles won't fit in a standard trailer. Regular trucking companies keep turning you down because your cargo is too tall, too long, or too wide. You need a carrier in South Dakota that handles oversized freight that most companies won't touch.
Oversized pole freight requires specialized flatbed equipment and securement systems. Flag poles and light poles often exceed the height and length limits of enclosed trailers. Most carriers avoid this type of cargo because it requires special permits, routing, and handling expertise.
Costs depend on pole dimensions, weight, and destination distance. Longer poles need escort vehicles on certain routes. Permits add time and expense. Expect higher rates than standard freight due to the specialized equipment and routing required.
Measure your exact pole dimensions and total weight before calling anyone. Gateway Distribution handles oversized pole shipments across South Dakota with the right flatbed trucks and securement equipment. Get your measurements ready and call for a quote on your specific cargo.
Once arranged, your poles ship safely with proper securement and routing. You get reliable delivery without the runaround from carriers who can't handle oversized freight.

how much does pole shipping cost

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.
