Flatbed Shipping That Fits Your Freight

Urbandale's flatbed demand rides on corporate campus and commercial construction across the northwest metro: structural steel, rebar, machinery and building materials sized for open decks. Steel and machinery crane-load onto an open flatbed, while a Conestoga tarps freight needing weather protection. This planning is specific to Urbandale, Iowa.

Urbandale sits along I-80 and I-35 on the metro's northwest edge, feeding the state's main freight corridors and Union Pacific rail. Iowa is landlocked, so open-deck loads reach these jobsites over the road rather than a port. We plan securement, tarping and crane or side-loading windows around each load, staging steel and machinery the way a busy commercial site needs before dispatch. This planning is specific to Urbandale, Iowa.

Around Urbandale we consolidate open-deck routing to West Des Moines (4 mi) and Des Moines (7 mi), plus Ankeny (11 mi) and Ames (34 mi), delivering to jobsites and plant yards without docks. One multi-stop flatbed lane stages steel, machinery and building materials across the metro instead of separate trips. This planning is specific to Urbandale, Iowa.

At roughly 976 miles from our Pineville terminal south of Charlotte, Urbandale is a scheduled open-deck lane of about two to three days, not an overnight run, and we confirm a firm delivery window before dispatch. For shippers with steady metro volume we set up dedicated flatbed lanes and drop-trailer programs, and we handle oversize and overweight permits when a load runs over dimensions. This planning is specific to Urbandale, Iowa.
