Building Materials Transport For Farms And Job Sites


We started with tractors and combines, then customers asked us to ship full barn and shop packages. Today we arrange transport for lumber bundles, roofing metal, steel, siding, insulation, bricks, block, and bagged cement for farms and contractors across the country.

Flatbeds handle most bundled materials, while step decks and lowboys help with taller freight. For long trusses or heavy structural steel, we can call in specialized trailers sized for the weight and length.

Planning Safe Building Material Hauling for Farms and AG Projects

Every shipment starts with a short conversation instead of a guess. Your agriculture transport specialist gathers product type, bundle count, weight, dimensions, pickup hours, and site access, then chooses the right trailer and driver. Lumber, beams, and trusses travel in tight bundles stacked for balance and tied down with chains or straps rated for the load. For weather sensitive freight such as finish lumber or insulation board, we can arrange tarps that guard against rain and road spray.

Time-Sensitive Building Material Shipping


Farm work and construction rarely move on a relaxed clock. We build your transport plan around your dates and give you straight timing on pickup and delivery. Many local or regional shipments can be picked up within a day or two when trucks are open, and your specialist explains realistic timing for longer hauls during the quote.

Door-to-door delivery keeps things simple. We send trucks to mills, suppliers, auctions, or distribution yards, then deliver directly to farms, barns, and job sites when access allows. If a full-size rig cannot safely reach your pad or field entrance, we help choose a nearby staging spot where you can unload with a loader or tractor.

Building Materials – FAQ


We handle most palletized or bundled materials used in farm and construction projects. Common freight includes lumber packages, roofing metal, steel beams, siding, insulation, bricks, concrete block, bagged cement, and stone. We can also ship certain bulk materials such as sand, gravel, and aggregate when the load fits safe trailer and highway limits.

Our drivers follow firm cargo securement rules on every shipment. Lumber, steel, and trusses are bundled, stacked for balance, and tied down with chains or straps sized to the load. Edge protectors and chocks keep freight from cutting straps or rolling, and tarps can cover weather sensitive materials.

Yes. Most building material shipping is door-to-door. We deliver to farms, barns, shops, and job sites as long as truck access is safe. If a big rig cannot reach the exact pad, we help plan a nearby drop spot that works with your equipment.

Every trailer has limits for deck space and freight weight. Standard flatbeds carry up to about 48,000 pounds inside legal width and height in most states. Dense freight such as brick, block, or stone may need to be split into several loads, and oversize or overweight shipments call for permits and planned routes.

Speed depends on distance, truck availability, and permit needs. Many local or regional loads can be picked up within a day or two when capacity is open. Long-haul trips add transit days based on mileage and routing, and your specialist will give you a firm pickup and delivery window during the quote.

TRACTOR TRANSPORT OFFERS AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF TRAILER CHOICES TO HAUL YOUR AIR SEEDERS

FLATBED

TRANSPORT SERVICES

Our most versatile and commonly used trailer by far is the standard flatbed trailer, made evident by the sheer number of them on the road every day. A great aspect of flatbed trailer shipping is the stability of the bed and the fact that these common carriers come in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions. A flatbed trailer, as the name suggests, is marked by a flat trailer surface that's able to be loaded with stability by balancing and securing cargo on the outside edges of the trailer.

RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)

TRANSPORT SERVICES

The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches. The variable nature of the RGN trailer allows it to accommodate cargo that is more difficult for less flexible trailers. Referred to as a "detach", the RGN is ideal for transporting less than standard cargo, equipment that is longer, taller, or otherwise a non-normal size.

EXT. RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)

TRANSPORT SERVICES

Similar to the standard Removable Gooseneck Trailer, the extended RGN has an added section for additional length and capacity for particularly tricky transport jobs. When cargo is too long for the standard Removable Gooseneck (RGN), we sometimes employ the extended RGN. Like the standard RGN, the back portion of the stretch RGN is removable, creating a convenient ramp. The extended RGN has a versatile extension feature that allows it to meet an increased number of length requirements for cargo.

DROP DECK

TRANSPORT SERVICES

A drop deck, or "step deck" trailer resembles a standard flatbed model with a single drop in order to give the trailer the capacity for more cargo height. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. For especially large or oddly sized pieces of equipment, the drop deck trailers present a uniquely ideal solution; tractors, farming combines and large construction and industrial equipment.

EXT. DROP DECK

TRANSPORT SERVICES

When a job necessitates a trailer that can carry an irregularly long piece of equipment or cargo, we employ the extended drop deck trailer. Like a flatbed with either a single or a double attached gooseneck, the extended drop deck gives the user capacity for additional height and length to meet the needs of a specific cargo load. Typically, the extended RGN is more flexible than the standard RGN, so it's only used when absolutely necessary.

LOWBOY

TRANSPORT SERVICES

A lowboy is one of the lowest trailers to the ground, as its name suggests. Many heavy hauling tasks are carried out with the help of the lowboy trailer because of its use for extremely large, heavy, and oversized or over-dimension equipment. Typically when you see a sign that says "Oversize Load" on the interstate, the cargo being hauled is done so with a lowboy trailer. Many shippers use lowboy models as their top choice for these jobs due to their capacity to carry extremely heavy weights of cargo, and their stability as the lowest, off-the-ground option.

Difficult Terrain Farming Equipment Moves

Moving into planted or undeveloped rural locations can be challenging. Many larger farms have small access roads that are dirt or gravel – and even paved roads may not be in the best condition. The experienced drivers from Tractor Transport have plenty of training navigating heavy loads across rough terrain, even in the frigid areas of Alaska and Canada. Our careful planning includes plotting the best rigs and trailers to access your location while keeping an eye on the weather and road conditions.

Farming Irrigation Equipment We Move:

Tractor Transport can also help move and relocate farming irrigation equipment, including pumps to source groundwater in each area and heavy-duty hoses and specialized gear to get water fast where you need it. Our transport services also include covered transport for engines, to protect the sensitive parts. We've moved everything from pressure regulator and Capristo pumps to irrometers, canon irrigation, cam-lock, and Berkeley pumps. We can even move backhoes and excavating equipment for installing irrigation and pipes to new fields.
