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 themselves. Flatbed is a major part of what we do from our Houston base, because so much of the state's freight is steel, pipe, lumber and equipment that will not fit through a loading dock. Today we book open-deck loads across Texas and the rest of the country through more than 30,000 available carriers, picking operators who have hauled your commodity before. Each shipment is handled 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. Cranes and forklifts can reach it from the side, the rear or overhead, which suits steel yards, lumber racks and project sites without a dock. It carries 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 gains roughly 18 inches of legal height. A double drop sits lower still for tall machinery and large components. We choose the deck that keeps your load legal and saves you a permit whenever the dimensions permit it.

Securement and Tarping

Securement and Tarping

Flatbed freight is open to wind, rain and road grime the entire trip. We book carriers who strap, chain and tarp to FMCSA securement rules, use edge protection on steel and finished materials, and confirm the plan before loading so nothing is turned away 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 include structural steel, pipe, rebar, lumber, precast concrete, roofing and building materials, tanks, and machinery that loads from the top or side. If it travels on an open deck, we can move it, from a single bundle on a hotshot flatbed to a full 53-foot load.

Why Choose Us

On an open deck, the details determine 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 planned to FMCSA rules, with edge protection and tarps where the freight needs them. You get a clear quote with no deposits and no surprise fees, and an agent who picks up day or night. We are licensed, bonded, insured and FMCSA compliant, and we keep you informed from loading to drop-off so your team is ready when the truck shows up.
