Some Lesser Known Facts Regarding Flatbed Trucking

 

NATS Canada is a leading Canadian 3PL provider with vast expertise in moving freight using flatbed equipment. Flatbeds are usually the best choice for industrial, construction, oversized and overweight freight given their open, no roof construction. Companies that move a lot of freight know the usefulness of the flatbed. Here are a few more lesser known facts to consider for flatbed trucking companies in Ontario.

  1. Weather patterns across North America are as diverse as the regions and countries themselves. As a result, weather can play a huge role in flatbed shipping. Companies that manage a fleet of flatbeds can struggle with fleet optimization given the unpredictability of weather and its effects on certain cargos. Flatbed shipping can be cyclical and seasonal, making it tough on drivers looking for stable gigs with their rigs and even tougher on flatbed shipping companies in Toronto and elsewhere looking to maintain enough staff for sudden increases in demand.
  2. More than 14 different types of flatbed trucks. All of them are versatile, which make them a go-to choice for 3PL providers like NATS Canada. Google flatbed shipping companies near me when you’re in the GTA and you’re bound to find a number of trucking companies using multiple different kinds of flatbed carriers. From LTL freight to oversized industrial machinery, flatbeds are the way to go.
