Posting because our logistics team is having problems finding a carrier that can support the crate size for TG.. Midland and a few other big boys won't touch TG freight greater than 72"

You can try Fundy Xpress or DeMont's Transport , not sure if they have tailgates but worth a call.

We have experienced the same reluctance from carriers to tailgate high skids/crates. There is a safety concern involved unless perhaps there were two people on the delivery.

Just putting it out there... but what about a Rolltite Moffitt option?

 

[Deisel1]

Try On Target. I am unsure if they can help but it's worth a call.

Most of the common carriers won't touch a TG crate greater than 72" wide. Hell I wouldn't wanna catch it if she started to lean or tip.

FYI..

Fundy Express - Nope
DeMonts - Nope
Armour - Nope
OnTarget - Nope
Milyard - waiting on reply

@EricG : worse case scenario, ship it in a regular van and call a flatbed tow truck at delivery site.
.Just a thought, eh..

That was my next option great minds think alike... Freight is valuable, so its prob going to move as a TL @ $6400 instead of LTL, just can't find an LTL option we are comfortable with. The flatbed tow is an idea, waiting on client to confirm we can tilt his $100k crates.

They should be there.. Mostly use to carry 4x4's or AWD's which are quite popular lately

This special delivery sounds like it needs one of those really big tailgates. The kind that fold up against the rear doors, pretty much covering them. What about a household mover who specializes in show or machinery freight, or even a machinery mover? This isn’t the first time big, expensive crates have been moved, there must be someone out there.

Try AMG Campbell they called me looking for ltl to NS on Wednesday. They would have a way to make it happen I am sure.

 

[EricG]

The main issue is the delivery location, so few carriers actually service the delivery location. We are going to move on TL with moffett. Seems like the safe option.

Atlantic Tilt Load in Dartmouth, lots of specialized equipment incl flatbed straight trucks with cranes,
