You only pay for the space you use.
Partial flatbed for pumps, big iron, generators, transformers, tanks, and raw materials.

The freight that doesn't fit a standard pallet, doesn't ride well in a van, and doesn't deserve a full trailer minimum.

Why Flatbed LTL — cost trap explainer
A $500 freight bill becomes $3,500. Here's how.
Standard LTL carriers price by density and minimum class. The moment your freight breaks 12 linear feet or hits "exceeds 750 cubic feet," accessorials kick in: Density Minimum Charge, Linear Foot Charge, Over-Dimensional Surcharge. Stack them up and the quote you got isn't the bill you pay.
Standard LTL — the trap
| Base rate | $500 |
|---|---|
| Density Minimum Charge | + $1,400 |
| Linear Foot Charge (16′) | + $1,200 |
| Over-dimensional surcharge | + $400 |
| What you actually pay | $3,500 |
Comet Flatbed LTL — pay the space
| Linear feet quoted | 16 ft |
|---|---|
