Indiana Flatbed Trucking Services - Agricultural & Manufacturing Equipment
Indiana’s economy is powered by two things: hard work and heavy equipment. From the farm fields of Lafayette to the manufacturing plants in Fort Wayne and Evansville, freight doesn’t move itself—it takes precision, planning, and power. That’s where MigWay comes in.

As a modern, asset-based carrier with over 269 trucks and 450 trailers, we provide reliable capacity, professional drivers, and performance built for industries that can’t afford downtime.

Each shipment is backed by MigWay’s 24/7 dispatch and GPS tracking systems, ensuring full visibility from pickup to delivery. When timing and precision matter, our Indiana flatbed team delivers—on schedule, every mile.

Flatbed Shipping vs Dry Van: Why Flatbed Wins for Heavy Freight
While dry vans handle packaged or palletized freight, flatbeds dominate heavy, irregular, or oversized cargo. In Indiana’s industrial economy, that distinction matters.
- Flexibility: Flatbeds can handle over-dimensional loads and unique shapes without enclosed walls.
- Efficiency: Easier loading and unloading by cranes or forklifts from any direction.
- Durability: Designed for steel, machinery, and heavy agricultural freight that would damage enclosed trailers.
If it’s big, heavy, or complex—flatbed is the answer. And MigWay is built to execute it safely.
Our Drivers: Professionals Who Deliver
Behind every on-time delivery is a MigWay driver who knows their route and respects the load. We invest in people who take ownership of every mile. With average pay between $0.55 and $0.65 CPM, bonuses, and weekend home time, our drivers stay motivated and loyal—translating to better service for our customers.
Every driver operates under MigWay’s culture of precision: plan the route, inspect the load, execute the delivery. No shortcuts. Just clean, professional execution.
