Alpha Petroleum provides flatbed and open-deck trucking across California and a broader freight network. Flatbed and Conestoga trailers move oversized, heavy, and open-deck freight, from construction materials and steel to equipment and machinery, with dispatch, tracking, and delivery on planned and surge shipments.
Shipping oversized or open-deck freight?Discuss your load
Flatbed trucking is open-deck transportation for freight that does not fit or load into an enclosed trailer. Alpha Petroleum runs flatbed and Conestoga trailers for oversized, heavy, and open-deck loads such as construction materials, steel and building materials, equipment, and machinery, loaded and secured for the road.
Flatbed is the right fit when a load is too large, too heavy, or shaped in a way that needs open-deck loading rather than a dry van or reefer. Flatbed trucking is one part of Alpha Petroleum truckload logistics, and can be coordinated with dry van, reefer, bulk, and intermodal freight when a program needs more than one equipment type. Equipment, securement, capacity, and transit are confirmed after reviewing the load details.
Flatbed and open-deck equipment carries oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped freight. The categories below reflect the freight this service already covers. Final equipment, securement, permitting, and loading depend on the specific load and lane.
Flatbed is for open-deck freight. Enclosed non-perishable freight ships in a dry van, and temperature-sensitive freight ships in reefer equipment. Share the dimensions, weight, and lane so Alpha Petroleum can confirm the right service. Call (951) 545-7374.
Select the freight that most closely matches your shipment. Alpha Petroleum can review the dimensions, weight, securement, and lane before confirming the service. These results provide preliminary guidance only. They are not a confirmed quote, a rate, guaranteed equipment or capacity, a guaranteed date, a permitting determination, or a cargo-acceptance decision.
