Construction Freight and Job Site Delivery
On a job site, the crew and the crane are waiting on your truck. We haul construction materials and equipment on flatbeds and Conestogas, timed to the schedule.

Questions
Construction shipping, answered
Do you deliver directly to job sites?
Yes. Flatbeds and Conestogas unload from the side or top, so a site with a forklift or crane can receive without a dock. Tell us about site access when you book.
Can you deliver on a specific day for a crane lift?
Yes. We plan the run from your delivery time and track the truck live. Dispatch keeps you updated so the crane is not waiting.
Do you haul data center construction freight?
Yes. Racks, cooling units, switchgear and power equipment ride on Conestogas or under tarps to keep them dry.
What construction materials do you haul?
Structural steel, rebar, lumber, trusses, pipe, conduit, electrical gear and HVAC equipment, all within legal size.
What if the site delivery date changes?
Dispatch works 24/7 and reschedules with you. For loads that cannot wait, expedited service can have a truck ready in as little as 4 hours.
