Our full truckload shipping (FTL) services are best for large or high-risk shipments, even if your delicate truckload shipment doesn't fill an entire truck. FTL shipping ensures no other shipments are stowed in the truck besides yours, offering extra safety and security.
Rest assured that you don't pay for shipment transfers, and it's faster and more efficient than less-than-truckload shipping (LTL) since full truckload shipments only travel to one destination. This allows for effective freight tracking, as transport management systems aren't affected by stops along the way to deliver other customers' freight. Our truckload carriers offer several transportation options suited to provide FTL shipping for your oversized loads, climate-sensitive and delicate commodities. Regardless of your truckload shipment needs, you can trust our truckload services to be a valued asset to your business.
As a leading heavy haul trucking company with over 35 years of experience, we are experienced in transporting heavy loads. Our multi-axle and dual-lane trailers are designed for oversize freight shipping. We also provide dolly systems and side kits to make the job easier. Our heavy haul truckload equipment includes:
Ideal for oversized or unwieldy cargo, flatbeds can be an efficient and affordable way to transport a heavy load.
With two deck levels, these flatbed trailers are designed to carry long or tall freight exceeding legal height limits.
Tall, wide, and with two drops in deck height, lowboys are utilized to carry oversize and heavy machinery.
These are perfect for delivering shipments under 16,000 lbs that still need a small or large trailer, as they range from 20' - 40'. Perfect for both time-sensitive loads over shorter distances and cross-country hauling.
Equipped with a soft roof and sides supported by a removable frame, these flatbed trailers protect cargo during transport.
Used to transport a broad range of oversized loads like construction equipment, versatile double drops come with a fixed or RGN neck.
Dry vans are enclosed trailers that protect cargo from weather and environmental factors. They are commonly used to transport general freight and packaged goods.
Reefer trucks are designed to transport temperature-sensitive cargo, such as perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They are equipped with a built-in refrigeration system to maintain a consistent temperature range during transportation.

Man, was I in a bind last month. I am a sales person for a packaged food company and I had to receive about 150 cases of product, divvy it all up, and then ship it out to 70 different locations. I work from home and there was no way I was going to run this operation out of my 1 bedroom apartment. I was in a panic until I looked up some information and called Cowtown Express. They were so nice and agreed to receive the product, divide it up, and ship it out for me. Even though this kind of job is a little different than what they normally do, they were happy to figure out a way to get it done for me. Their labor costs were very reasonable and the whole thing got done with a lot less stress and hassle than I had expected.
We have used Cowtown Express several times to move pallets between our warehouses in Dallas and Fort Worth. They have always delivered on-time and as expected. We are very pleased and wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Full truckload (FTL) shipping is a type of shipping mode whereby a truck carries one dedicated shipment. In other words, the journey is reserved for one shipment only. Cargo that requires climate control, flatbeds or other special considerations like hazmat transportation is best suited for full truckloads.
Less-than-truckload freight does not fill an entire truck, leaving space for other shipments. These typically range from 100 to 5,000 pounds. FTL shipments will fill most, if not all, of an entire truck and have an average weight of 20,000 pounds or more.
The average hauling weight of a flatbed truck is 48,000 pounds, while the total weight should not exceed 80,000 pounds, inclusive of the truck. The amount of cargo a flatbed can carry depends on the type of equipment and the weight of the truck when empty.
Full truckload rates depend on mileage, lane availability, seasonality, lead time, and fuel costs. The type of trailer you need will also affect the total cost. If you contact us with your shipping requirements, we’ll gladly provide you with a free, no-obligation quote to get you the best rates possible. Ultimately, we want to make our customers happy and provide them with the best solution for their needs.
FTL shipping refers to a mode of transportation where a single shipment fills the entire trailer, whether it is a van or flatbed. This means that the cargo is not shared with any other shipments, and the trailer is dedicated solely to that specific shipment.
Exclusive-use vehicle (EUV) shipping, on the other hand, is a service where the cargo is transported in a dedicated vehicle that is reserved solely for that shipment, regardless of the size of the cargo. This means that the vehicle may not necessarily be fully loaded, but it is exclusive to the particular shipment.
If you need a heavy haul trucking company to entrust with your overweight or oversized shipments, our friendly and experienced team at Cowtown Express can help. Whether it's a one-off or regular consignment, our seasoned logistics experts and experienced truckload shippers will provide competitive truckload rates and customize the perfect solution for you. Let us take care of your heavy loads while helping you cut costs.
