Specialized Freight. Total Visibility.
GTI coordinates complex open-deck, oversized, heavy, and over-dimensional freight throughout the United States and Canada—with proactive communication from quote through delivery.
Equipment and Expertise Matched to the Freight
Eleven specialized transportation services, from standard flatbed to over-dimensional superloads—each planned around the freight, not a one-size-fits-all trailer.
Flatbed Transportation
Open-deck flatbed coverage for general industrial freight, steel, machinery, and building materials that load from the top or side.
- Structural steel
- Machinery and equipment
- Building materials
Step-Deck Transportation
Lower deck height for taller freight that would exceed legal height limits on a standard flatbed.
- Tall machinery
- Construction equipment
- Palletized freight exceeding flatbed height limits
Double-Drop Transportation
Lowered center deck for freight that exceeds both step-deck and standard flatbed height allowances.
- Tall industrial equipment
- Large machinery
- Oversized manufactured components
Oversized Freight
Coordination for freight exceeding standard legal dimensions, including permitting and route planning support.
- Freight exceeding standard width, height, or length limits
Multi-Axle & Specialized Equipment
Heavy-haul coordination using multi-axle configurations for freight beyond standard weight limits.
- Heavy industrial components
- Mining and power-generation equipment
United States & Canadian Transportation
Cross-border coordination for specialized freight moving between the United States and Canada.
- Any freight type above, moving across the US–Canada border
Open-Deck Equipment for Every Freight Profile
Deck height, well length, and axle configuration are planned before a carrier is ever assigned.
Flatbed
Open, level deck for top- or side-loaded general industrial freight.
- Steel and building materials
- Palletized machinery
- General industrial freight
Step Deck
Two-level deck with a lower main deck for taller freight.
