Flatbed Trucking Solutions for Oversized Cargo Across Mexico, the US & Canada

Flatbed transportation requires specialized knowledge, especially when dealing with over-dimensional and heavy-haul freight. At LAC, our flatbed experts are equipped to handle your most challenging shipments with precision and care.

Our Flatbed & Heavy Haul Trucking Capabilities

Our network of specialized carriers gives you access to a wide range of open deck trailers for heavy and over-dimensional freight.

We serve key industries such as:

• Construction
• Mining

• Agriculture

With our extensive know-how and industry partnerships, LAC is recognized as one of North America’s most reliable flatbed and heavy-haul transport providers.

Certified Carriers & Real-Time Tracking

Shipping oversized freight requires precise coordination and complete visibility. At LAC, we work with a trusted network of professional flatbed carriers across Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. Many of our partners are C-TPAT certified and equipped with GPS tracking systems to enhance security and monitoring.

If your shipment requires specific compliance such as C-TPAT certification or real-time GPS tracking, we can arrange those capabilities upon request—ensuring that your cargo moves under the conditions your business demands.

Cross-Border Flatbed Specialists

We offer both long-haul and short-haul flatbed transportation, with a strong focus on international moves. Our cross-border logistics experience ensures your shipment moves smoothly and compliantly with door-to-door coverage.

Flexible Flatbed Service Options

1. Direct Service (No Transloading)

If minimizing cargo handling is your priority, our direct service is ideal. The same trailer loaded at the origin will be delivered at the final destination—reducing risk and ensuring secure transit, especially for sensitive equipment.

2. Service with Transloading

For greater pickup flexibility, we also offer a transloading option. Your cargo is loaded on a U.S. or Canadian flatbed and transferred to a Mexican carrier at the border. This approach helps overcome limited availability of international flatbed carriers.
