MORE THAN A LOAD BOARD MATCH

Some freight needs more than a rate and a truck.

Dimensions. Weight. Equipment. Securement. Loading requirements. Delivery windows. Job-site access.

When freight gets more complicated, the details matter. NorthTrail Logistics helps shippers coordinate the right equipment and qualified capacity for each shipment while keeping communication clear from pickup through delivery.

How we work with shippers
01 /

The Right Equipment

Match freight to flatbed, step deck, RGN, lowboy, hotshot, or another appropriate equipment type.

02 /

Qualified Capacity

Work with vetted authorized motor carriers appropriate for the shipment.

03 /

Clear Communication

Keep shippers informed throughout the transportation process.

04 /

Problem Solving

Address issues quickly instead of leaving customers searching for answers.

EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES

The right trailer for the load.

The equipment decision starts with the freight, not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Equipment availability and suitability depend on dimensions, weight, commodity, loading requirements, destination, and other load-specific factors.

01

Flatbed

Open platform access for side, top, or crane loading.

02

Step Deck / Drop Deck

A lower main deck for taller freight and machinery.

03

RGN / Removable Gooseneck

A detachable front section that allows certain equipment to be driven onto the trailer.

04

Lowboy

Low deck height for heavy or tall equipment, subject to load requirements.

05

Conestoga

Retractable covering for freight needing weather protection with open-deck loading access.

06

Hotshot

Smaller open-deck capacity for eligible equipment and time-sensitive loads.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Freight for the people who build, grow, and make things.

From a dealer moving one machine to a manufacturer coordinating ongoing open-deck freight, details matter.

THE WAY WE WORK

A brokerage relationship should make your job easier.

The wrong equipment. A missed update. A broker who disappears after booking. Specialized freight leaves little room for avoidable surprises.
