What flatbed carriers haul
87.1% of flatbed carriers run five trucks or fewer. Most report several of the four flatbed cargo types.
Check a flatbed carrier before you book
Free carrier lookup. Enter a USDOT number, an MC number or a company name to see authority, insurance filings and roadside inspections.
What to confirm on a flatbed load
Authority and liability filing
Active operating authority and a liability filing of at least $750,000, the federal minimum for general freight (49 CFR 387.9).
Cargo cover
FMCSA has not required a cargo insurance filing from general freight carriers since 2011. Ask for the certificate and compare its limit with the value of the load.
Securement
The number of tiedowns depends on the length and weight of each article (49 CFR 393.110). Agree who supplies chains, straps, tarps and edge protection.
Oversize loads
A load over legal width, height or weight needs a permit from each state on the route. Ask which permits and escorts the carrier arranges.
How this list is built
FMCSA does not record trailer types, so the list combines two public records. A carrier is listed when it is active, registered for hire, and reports at least three of the four cargo types that move on flatbeds: metal, machinery, lumber and building materials. Its roadside inspections must also show tiedown findings (49 CFR 393.104 to 393.112) at 1.5 times the all-carrier rate or more. Across every carrier those findings are 0.8% of violations. A carrier with fewer than 100 violations on file is listed when flatbed freight is at least half of the cargo types it reports.
1,009 of the 21,145 carriers qualify on their roadside record. Companies that register a private fleet alongside for-hire authority, such as building-supply and equipment-rental firms, are left out. Data sources and methodology.

How often are flatbed trucks placed out of service at inspections?
In the 24 months to Sep 24, 2026, 26.7% of vehicle inspections of the carriers on this list ended with the vehicle out of service. The rate for all carriers is 22.9%.
