If you route a lot of flatbeds perhaps you have also seen a situation similar to what I just observed. This morning on my way to work, I saw a massive 53′ flatbed trailer—pulled by a big sleeper cab—hauling just one pipe. It made no sense. Maybe it was part of a round trip, but for many shippers, this kind of waste happens far too often. The problem? They haven’t discovered TLI Express.
We run 40ft flatbeds powered by dually pickup trucks—making flatbed transportation across the tri-state region faster, more practical, and far more economical.
What Sets Our Flatbeds Apart
TLI Express specializes in 40-foot hotshot flatbed shipping using advanced Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers. Our Big Tex 22GN-35+5MR trailers feature a low-profile pierced-beam frame, dual 10,000 lb axles, and a +16,000 lb load capacity—ideal for transporting oversized equipment, construction materials, and industrial machinery.
These trailers come equipped with spring-assisted flip-over ramps and a 5-foot dovetail, allowing for ground-level loading even without a dock. This design ensures quick, efficient loading and unloading, saving your team time and reducing handling risks.
