Flatbeds

Flatbed shipping is transportation for cargo that may not require the enclosure of a dry van, cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.

- 02

Step Decks

A step deck trailer is a trailer designed specifically for tall freight, hence the lower deck. With a step deck, the maximum height of freight becomes 10’2”, instead of the regular 8’6” on traditional flatbeds. When combined with ramps, the lower deck of a step deck allows for transport of vehicles, farming equipment, or construction equipment.

- 03

Conestoga Trailers

A Conestoga trailer is one of the most versatile types of trailers available. It is a flatbed trailer, but with an accordion-style tarping system that simply pulls over the freight. So, you get the ease of freight loading that a flatbed provides with the load protection provided by the cover.

Hotshots
(Goose-Neck)

Hotshots are the name given to short flatbed goose-neck trailers pulled by medium-duty trucks. These trailers vary, ranging from 15ft to 40ft in length, and have a maximum cargo capacity of 18,000 lbs.  Like step decks, these trailers can also be used in vehicle transport when combined with ramps.  Hotshots are also far better for navigating small roads and tight locations.

What Is a Freight Broker?

Legal Definition

Broker means a person who, for compensation, arranges, or offers to arrange, the transportation of property by an authorized motor carrier. Motor carriers, or persons who are employees or bona fide agents of carriers, are not brokers within the meaning of this section when they arrange or offer to arrange the transportation of shipments which they are authorized to transport and which they have accepted and legally bound themselves to transport.

CFR: Title 49: Transportation – PART 371 – Brokers of Property

General Definition

A freight broker is a person or company that acts as an intermediary between shippers (individuals or businesses needing to transport goods) and carriers (companies that provide transportation services, such as trucking companies). The primary role of a freight broker is to facilitate the movement of goods from one point to another by arranging transportation services that meet the shipper’s requirements.

Here are some key aspects of what a freight broker does:

  1. Connecting Shippers and Carriers: Freight brokers connect shippers who have goods to transport with carriers who have the capacity to move those goods. They maintain relationships with both parties to ensure smooth transactions.
  2. Negotiating Rates:  Brokers negotiate transportation rates with carriers on behalf of shippers. They aim to secure competitive rates that meet the shipper’s budget while ensuring carriers are adequately compensated.
  3. Managing Logistics:  Freight brokers handle the logistics of shipping, including coordinating pickup and delivery schedules, tracking shipments, and resolving any issues that may arise during transportation.
  4. Documentation: Brokers manage the paperwork associated with shipping, such as bills of lading, shipping manifests, and invoices. They ensure accuracy and timely processing of documentation.
  5. Providing Expertise:  Freight brokers offer expertise in transportation logistics and market conditions. They may advise shippers on the most efficient and cost-effective shipping methods based on their needs.
  6. Risk Management:  Brokers help manage risks associated with transportation, such as delays, damages, or other unforeseen issues.

Overall, freight brokers play a crucial role in the supply chain by optimizing transportation efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring the safe and timely delivery of goods from origin to destination. They act as intermediaries that streamline the shipping process for businesses of all sizes.

I have dealt with Innovative Worldwide Logistics since January of 2014. Mark Kreider and his wonderful staff make booking loads and moving freight a pleasure, instead of all the nightmares I've experienced with so many other brokers. Every time I book a load I'm offered a VERY fair rate, treated with intergrity and respect, and paid in a very timely manner. If your looking for a GREAT freight brokerage, THIS is your place. I would give them 10 stars if it were possible!!!

I must say when we need a load out we can count on it with a phone call and to top it off the salesman is one of the finest gentleman you will ever meet. They make sure our shipment is on time and we know when it leaves our facility we don’t have to worry about checking on the status they actually call us with updates very satisfied with this company and there operations. Thank You.
