• 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.

Serving Flatbed Trucking Companies in Canada

Flatbed trucking companies in Canada need more than local coverage, they need a network that extends into the US and Mexico. LAC™ connects shippers in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal to the same certified carrier network described above, using the same flatbed carriers already serving cross-border freight. Industries like oil & gas, mining, and forestry in Alberta and British Columbia rely on flatbed transportation for moving heavy equipment across North American corridors.

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.

Key US-Mexico Border Crossings for Flatbed & Heavy-Haul Freight

As a freight forwarder coordinating flatbed and heavy-haul transportation through carrier partners, LAC™ coordinates flatbed moves through the region’s busiest gateways. For heavy haul from Mexico to the US, we route freight via crossings such as San Diego (Otay Mesa), Calexico, Nogales, El Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo, Pharr (McAllen), and Brownsville, paired on the Mexican side with Tijuana, Mexicali, Nogales, Ciudad Juárez, Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, and Matamoros. Each shipment is matched to a crossing suited to its permit needs.

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.
