About Us

Strategic Freight Solutions is a family-owned freight company that started in Texas and was built by people who have driven, dispatched and brokered freight firsthand. Flatbed is a big part of what we do from our Houston base, because so much of the Gulf Coast's freight is steel, pipe, lumber and equipment that will not fit through a dock door. Today we arrange open-deck loads across Texas and the lower 48 states through more than 30,000 available carriers, choosing operators who have hauled your commodity before. Each shipment is run by one dedicated coordinator from the first quote to the final delivery at your site. More on the Company

Standard Flatbed

Standard Flatbed

Standard Flatbed

A standard 48 to 53-foot flatbed is the quickest open-deck trailer to load. Forklifts and cranes can load it from the side, the rear or overhead, which suits steel yards, lumber racks and work sites without a dock. It handles up to about 48,000 pounds at a legal cargo height of 8 feet 6 inches.

Step Deck and Double Drop

Step Deck and Double Drop

Step Deck and Double Drop

When a load is too tall for a standard flatbed, a step deck lowers the rear deck and adds roughly 18 inches of legal height. A double drop rides lower still for tall machinery and large components. We choose the deck that keeps your load legal and avoids a permit whenever the dimensions make it possible.

Securement and Tarping

Securement and Tarping

Flatbed freight is open to wind, rain and road grime the entire trip. We use carriers who strap, chain and tarp to FMCSA securement rules, apply edge protection on steel and coated materials, and verify the plan before loading so nothing is refused at the scale house or the receiving dock.

What We Haul on a Flatbed

What We Haul on a Flatbed

What We Haul on a Flatbed

Our flatbed loads cover structural steel, pipe, rebar, lumber, precast concrete, roofing and building supplies, tanks, and machinery that loads from the top or side. If it fits on an open deck, we can ship it, from a single bundle on a hotshot flatbed to a full 53-foot load.

Why Choose Us

On an open deck, the details decide whether a load shows up clean. We review deck height before booking, because a few inches can be the difference between a legal load and a permitted one. Securement is set up to FMCSA rules, with edge protection and tarps where the freight needs them. You get a straightforward quote with no deposits and no hidden fees, and an agent who picks up around the clock. We are licensed, bonded, insured and FMCSA compliant, and we keep you updated from pickup to unloading so your team is ready when the truck pulls in.
