Flatbed Truckload
Full truckload flatbed service for dedicated open-deck moves, backed by vetted carrier capacity, 24/7 dispatch and tracking, and equipment options for regional, long-haul, and cross-border lanes.
When Baltimore-area shippers need open-deck capacity, Little John Transportation Services provides flatbed trucking built for complex freight. From Port of Baltimore machinery moves to I-95 and I-695 corridor deliveries, our team coordinates vetted carriers, permits, securement, tracking, and heavy-haul support so oversized, industrial, and time-sensitive loads move safely and on schedule.

Open-deck freight solutions for standard, expedited, oversize, and specialized flatbed shipments.
Full truckload flatbed service for dedicated open-deck moves, backed by vetted carrier capacity, 24/7 dispatch and tracking, and equipment options for regional, long-haul, and cross-border lanes.
Specialized support for oversize, overweight, and project cargo using flatbeds, step-decks, RGNs, lowboys, stretch trailers, escorts, route engineering, and permitting for complex industrial moves.
Less-than-truckload flatbed options help shippers move smaller open-deck freight without booking a full trailer, with carrier selection based on rate, transit, equipment, and lane preference.
Time-critical flatbed and step-deck capacity for loads that cannot miss delivery windows, supported by direct routing, team service, control-tower oversight, and 24/7 dispatch coordination.
Hot shot flatbed service uses Class 3-5 trucks, gooseneck trailers, and direct-haul routing for urgent project parts, construction needs, AOG support, and same-day machinery moves.
Permit and route planning support for oversized flatbed freight, including route engineering, escorts, pilot cars, bridge considerations, and compliance coordination before the load moves.

We review commodity details, dimensions, weight, loading method, pickup window, and delivery constraints. For Baltimore freight, that includes port, warehouse, or jobsite access considerations around industrial corridors and regional roadway limits.
