FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions by our customers
Do you offer expedited flatbed service?
Yes. Same-day and next-day flatbed dispatch is available out of San Diego and the broader Southern California region, subject to equipment availability.
Do you secure and tarp freight?
Yes. Our drivers are trained in DOT cargo securement — straps, chains, edge protectors, corner boards — and we provide tarping (steel, lumber, smoke) when weather or commodity requires it.
What is the maximum legal flatbed load?
A standard flatbed legally carries up to 48,000 lbs of cargo (80,000 lbs gross combination) at 8'6" wide and 8'6" high before permits are required. Anything beyond requires oversize/overweight permits.
What is the difference between flatbed, step deck, and lowboy?
A flatbed has a single deck height (~5'); a step deck drops mid-trailer for taller loads (~10'); a lowboy (or RGN) drops further (~18"–24") for the tallest, heaviest cargo. We match equipment to load dimensions and route clearance.
What is flatbed trucking used for?
Flatbed trucking moves freight that cannot fit inside an enclosed trailer — including construction materials, steel, lumber, machinery, pipe, and oversize equipment. Bill Signs Trucking operates a Southern California flatbed fleet supporting commercial, industrial, and government shippers.
