What Is Flatbed Trucking?

Flatbed trucking is the transport of oversized cargo that doesn’t fit within enclosed box trucks. Instead, these loads are strapped or chained onto flatbed trucks, which do not have walls or roofs like traditional commercial vehicles. Flatbed trucks are durably built with robust aluminum frames and wooden floors.

How to Start a Flatbed Trucking Company

If you’re unsure how to start a flatbed trucking company, the following tasks are a great place to start:

• Create an LLC: You can protect your personal assets in case of liabilities by establishing your business as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which legally separates your business from your personal life.
• Obtain the required documents: There are many necessary licenses and permits you’ll need to gather before you can start your business — a Motor Carrier (MC) Number, International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) decal, and Department of Transportation (DOT) Number, to name a few.
• Start a business bank account: Opening a business bank account makes it easier to track your company’s financial performance by keeping your business finances and personal finances separate.
• Buy your equipment: Some flatbed trucks have built-in open-air beds, but for others, a separate flatbed trailer has attachments.
• Locate freight: Load boards offer an easy way to locate customers and nearby freight for your company.
