Flatbed freight typically refers to cargo moved on open-deck trailers, such as machinery, building materials, or equipment that can be loaded from the side, top, or rear. Heavy haul involves loads that exceed standard legal size or weight limits. Many heavy-haul shipments use flatbeds, step-decks, RGNs, lowboys, or multi-axle trailers, but require additional planning, permits, escorts, and route engineering.
