    Is there a carrier that has 22' flatbeds with forklifts? We deliver trailers to customer across the US and they do not always have a forklift to get them off the truck. Thanks!

    What type of trailers are they? Small utility flatbeds or van-type cargo trailers?

    They are traffic monitoring trailers that are 68' wide and need 6ft of space on the flatbed.

    Are they being shipped on regular semi-flatbeds, Hotshot trailers, or semi-drop decks? What is the weight in general? If they are being shipped as a partial and it only takes 22 feet . I have had bumper pull trailers on my flatbed and I called a rollback tow truck. Those have winches and for $100 at the time had my customer's vehicle on the ground. I don't know of any OTR carriers with a Moffit-type setup.

    and Moffit service is normally alot more than $100 if out of a local area.
    The last sod load I hauled charged $150 for each load he unloaded 12 years ago.

    LTL box trailer with a liftgate
    Hiring moffett service for what you’re talking, you could send the parts loose and have your employee build them onsite at the delivery cheaper than having a carrier ride around all over the country with a moffett dropping ones and twos.

    I provide moffett service doing multi drop work in my regional area.
