Transporting freight in the Northeast presents unique challenges, including unpredictable weather and congested urban areas. TLI Express addresses these challenges with specialized tarping services and 40-foot flatbed solutions designed for efficiency and protection.

Importance of Tarping in Freight Transport
Our fleet of dually pickup trucks equipped with 40-foot flatbed trailers offers a nimble and cost-effective solution for transporting a variety of freight, from construction materials to oversized machinery. Unlike traditional 53-foot trailers, our setup allows for easier navigation through urban and rural areas, ensuring timely deliveries even in locations with limited access.
One of the key services we offer is comprehensive tarping to protect your cargo from the elements. In the Northeast, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, tarping is essential to safeguard freight against rain, snow, and road debris. Our tarping options include 4’, 6’, and 8’ drop tarps, accommodating various load sizes and shapes. Proper tarping not only preserves the integrity of the cargo but also ensures compliance with safety regulations during transit.
Tarping is a critical component in safeguarding freight during transit. Its benefits include:
- Weather Resistance: Protects against rain, snow, and UV rays.
- Debris Shielding: Prevents damage from road debris and dust.
- Load Security: Maintains the integrity of the cargo by preventing movement.
In the Northeast, where weather conditions can change rapidly, tarping is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of transported goods.
