Truckload
Services We Offer
Refrigerated Truckload: Ideal for perishable goods or pharmaceuticals that require controlled temperatures during transit. Refrigerated truckload services, often referred to as “reefer” freight, involve specially designed trucks equipped with refrigeration units that maintain specific climates within the trailer. This service is crucial for transporting temperature-sensitive products such as food items, certain chemicals, and medical supplies like vaccines that must be kept within strict temperature ranges to preserve their integrity and comply with safety regulations. Firehouse Freight ensures that each refrigerated shipment is continuously monitored for temperature consistency, providing detailed logs for regulatory compliance and peace of mind.
Flatbed Truckload: Perfect for oversized cargo or materials that require loading from the top or side of a truck. Flatbed truckload services are ideal for transporting heavy or bulky items that don’t fit in standard enclosed trailers. Commonly used for construction equipment, large machinery, building materials, and other oversized items, flatbeds allow for easy loading and unloading with cranes or other lifting devices from any side, offering versatility that traditional trailers cannot. Firehouse Freight’s flatbed services also include securing and protecting the load to ensure safe transit, regardless of the cargo’s shape or size, with tarps and strapping as needed to shield items from weather elements and road conditions.
Heavy Haul Truckload: For exceptionally heavy or oversized shipments that require special equipment and handling. Heavy haul truckload services cater to the transport of extraordinarily heavy or large items that exceed standard legal dimensions and weights for regular trailers. These types of shipments often require specialized trailers such as multi-axle or extendable flatbeds and detailed planning for route and bridge clearance, as well as obtaining necessary permits and escorts. Firehouse Freight provides comprehensive heavy haul services, including route surveys and coordination with local authorities to ensure safe and efficient delivery. The handling of such cargo is managed by experienced operators who specialize in heavy loads, ensuring all safety and regulatory requirements are met throughout transit.
Hazmat Truckload: Specialized for transporting hazardous materials, this service is essential for shipments that include flammable, corrosive, toxic, or environmentally hazardous substances. Firehouse Freight ensures compliance with all safety regulations and provides drivers and equipment that are certified to handle these materials, ensuring safe and lawful transport.
5. Over-Dimensional Truckload: This service caters to cargo that exceeds standard dimensions in height, length, or width. Over-dimensional truckload shipments require special permits and routing to safely navigate roadways. Firehouse Freight manages all logistical aspects, including route planning, permit acquisition, and providing escort vehicles when necessary.
6. Double Drop & RGN (Removable Gooseneck): Ideal for extra tall or long cargo that requires a lower deck height to accommodate the shipment size. Double drop and RGN trailers offer the flexibility to carry tall equipment such as heavy machinery, construction materials, or large industrial components. The removable gooseneck feature allows the front of the trailer to be detached, creating a ramp for easy loading and unloading of heavy items.

What is truckload freight service?
Truckload freight service involves transporting large shipments that typically fill an entire truck.
