Flatbed Trucking
Open-deck hauling for steel, lumber, and anything that will not fit in a box. Secured, tarped, and delivered on time by our own asset-based fleet.
Open-Deck Freight, Handled Right
Flatbed trucking moves freight on an open trailer instead of an enclosed box, which makes it the right choice for tall, wide, heavy, and awkward loads that need to be loaded from the side, the top, or by crane. From steel coils and structural beams to construction equipment, our flatbed drivers know how to load, block, and secure it so it stays put on the road.
We are a family-owned, asset-based carrier, which means we own and maintain the equipment and stand behind every load. No brokering your freight out to a stranger. When you call Twisted Creek, you get our trucks and our drivers.

Rolling Out of Crystal Spring, PA
Our terminal sits at 12142 Old 126, Crystal Spring, PA 15536, about 2.5 miles south of I-70 near Breezewood, one of the busiest freight crossroads in the Mid-Atlantic. From there our flatbeds reach Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Hagerstown, and Winchester inside two hours, with nationwide coverage beyond.
That location is a real advantage for shippers moving steel, building materials, and equipment across the East Coast corridor. Short regional runs or long interstate lanes, we build the route around your freight.

Flatbed Cost Factors
Every load is quoted on its own details. These are the main things that shape a flatbed rate.
Distance and Lane
Total mileage and whether a backhaul or round trip is available factor into the rate.
Weight and Dimensions
Heavier and over-dimensional loads take more planning, securement, and sometimes permits.
Securement and Tarping
Loads that need tarping, extra chains, or specialized blocking take more time and material.
Urgency
Tight pickup or delivery windows can affect scheduling and rate.

Flatbed Questions
What can you haul on a flatbed?
Our flatbed fleet handles freight that will not fit in a box. That includes steel coils, plate, and structural beams, lumber and building materials, construction equipment, AC units, and other oversized or irregularly shaped loads.
Do you tarp and secure the load?
Yes. Our drivers tarp, chain, and strap every load to DOT standards. Freight that needs protection from the weather gets covered, and everything is blocked and braced so it arrives the way it left.
Can you handle oversized or over-dimensional freight?
We move heavy and irregularly shaped freight regularly. Whether a load needs permits or special routing depends on its exact weight and dimensions, so send us the details and we will tell you how we can move it.
