Different Types of Specialized Freight Trucking
Specialized freight trucking involves the shipping of specialized cargo that has to be loaded, secured and shipped in very specific ways to keep it from being damaged during transport. Some of the more popular types of specialized freight include heavy equipment, vehicles, refrigerated goods and live loads. Heavy Haulers is the country's premiere specialized freight trucking company, with offices located across the country.
Specialized shipments need specialized trailers. Cars require open or enclosed car carriers, liquids and gasses require tanker trailers and perishable foods have to be shipped in reefer, or refrigerated, trailers that include a cooling unit. While most logging material can be shipped using a standard flatbed trailer, full logs require the use of logging trailers that have vertical arms to hold the load and keep it stable.
