Flatbed Shipping That Fits Your Freight

New Orleans flatbed demand is built around its port complex: breakbulk steel and pipe off the Mississippi, oilfield-support materials, and machinery that loads by crane from the side, not through a dock. Steel and pipe ride an open flatbed, while a Conestoga tarps port freight that needs weather protection. This planning is specific to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Across Louisiana, flatbed lanes follow I-10, I-12 and I-55 through the New Orleans gateway, tied to the Port of New Orleans and Port of South Louisiana that push containerized and breakbulk project cargo inland. With petrochemical, refinery and Gulf-port volume feeding the corridor, we plan securement, tarping and crane or side-loading windows around what each open-deck load actually needs before it rolls. This planning is specific to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Around New Orleans we consolidate open-deck routing to Marrero (5 mi), Metairie (6 mi) and Kenner (12 mi), running multi-stop flatbed lanes that drop steel, pipe and building materials straight at plants, port yards and jobsites without docks. One planned lane stages the metro cluster instead of separate trips. This planning is specific to New Orleans, Louisiana.

At roughly 757 miles from Pineville, New Orleans is a scheduled open-deck lane of about two days, not an overnight run, and we confirm a firm delivery window before dispatch. For shippers with steady port or refinery volume we set up dedicated flatbed lanes and drop-trailer programs, and MigWay handles oversize and overweight permits when a load runs over standard length, width or weight. This planning is specific to New Orleans, Louisiana.
