Services and freight
What does GTI Transport haul?
GTI Transport is an open-deck carrier running flatbed, step-deck and heavy haul freight, covering building materials, machinery, pipe, coils and palletized goods, plus hazmat, tarped and weather-protected freight, regular full truckloads and partial loads, across all 48 states.
What kinds of freight does GTI Transport focus on?
Flatbed, step-deck and heavy haul freight, hazmat, tarped loads, regular full truckloads and partial loads. GTI runs aluminum and combo-deck flatbeds and step-decks across all 48 contiguous states.
Is GTI Transport hazmat certified?
Yes. We have over a decade of experience transporting hazardous materials and regularly haul a wide variety of hazmat products, primarily materials classified under 49 CFR §172.504 Table 2.
Do you haul regular and partial freight?
Yes. Alongside flatbed and step-deck freight, GTI hauls regular full truckloads and partial loads. With a partial you pay only for the space you use rather than a whole trailer.
What is a partial load?
A partial, or less-than-truckload, is freight that does not fill a whole trailer. It shares the deck with other shipments, so you pay for the space you use.
Do you haul heavy or oversize loads?
We haul heavy freight. Dense, weighty loads that stay within legal width, height and length are exactly what our flatbeds and step-decks are set up for, and we plan weight distribution, axle loading and securement around them. We do not run oversize freight, so anything past legal dimensions is not a load for us.
Can you tarp my freight?
Yes. We tarp and sheet open-deck loads as a matter of course for anything that should not get wet, including building materials, machinery and other moisture-sensitive freight. Tell us what you are shipping and we will confirm how it will be covered and secured.

What trailers does GTI Transport run?
Flatbeds in aluminum and combo deck, and step-decks, both 53 ft rather than the 48 ft most carriers run, with the step-deck for freight that rides too tall on a flatbed.
Which trailer does my load need?
A 53 ft flatbed for general freight within legal height, and a step-deck for freight roughly 18 inches too tall for a flatbed. Send the dimensions and we will confirm.
