Flatbed / Open Deck

Who Open Deck is for

Freight too big, too tall, or too odd for a van.

When the load won't fit through a dock door, exceeds standard trailer height, or needs a deck low enough to clear a bridge — you're in open deck territory. We run every common trailer in the category, in-house.

• 53′ flatbed · 48′ step-deck · double-drop · RGN (removable gooseneck)
• Permits & pilot cars · routing around bridge and curfew restrictions
• Chain, strap, and tarp securement · waterproof tarping on request
• Driver phone numbers shared on every load · POD same day

Why Comet for Open Deck

We've routed permits since long before the routing software existed.

Open deck isn't a quote you generate — it's a route you plan. Bridge heights, curfews, escort requirements, state-line transitions. We do that work before the truck rolls, not after. Tell us the dimensions and the destination; we'll come back with the cost, the timeline, and the route.
