About the network
Rite Way Freight is licensed as both a freight broker and a motor carrier. A load can move on equipment we own and operate, or on a carrier we have contracted and vetted — decided by what the freight requires and where it is going.
The carrier network has been built over decades. Operators are added after their operating authority, insurance certificates, and safety records are reviewed, and they are re-checked over the course of the relationship.
For oversized and overweight freight this matters more than it does for standard shipping: the equipment has to match the piece, the operator has to have moved something like it before, and permits and escorts have to be arranged for every jurisdiction the load crosses.
What we operate
Trailer classes available through owned and contracted equipment.
Step-Deck
A lower deck for taller freight.
The main deck sits lower than a flatbed, adding clearance for equipment and crated cargo that would run over-height on a standard deck — so taller loads move legally without permits.
Double-Drop & Lowboy
A low center well for over-height machinery.
The deck drops between the axles to carry tall machinery low to the road, keeping over-height freight under the bridges and wires along the route.
RGN
Removable gooseneck — equipment drives on.
The gooseneck detaches so excavators, cranes, and other tracked or wheeled equipment drive onto the deck under their own power. Configurable to around 150,000 lbs with added axles.
Multi-Axle
Axle lines added for the heaviest loads.
For freight beyond standard legal weight, added axle lines spread the load so it can be permitted and moved. The configuration is engineered to the piece and the route.
Extendable
Decks that stretch for long freight.
Extendable flatbeds and step-decks stretch to carry beams, pipe, and other long freight that overhangs a standard deck, with permits and escorts arranged to match the length.
Tank & Specialized
Purpose-built trailers for energy cargo.
Cryogenic tankers and purpose-built platforms carry LNG and other energy-sector cargo under the handling and safety protocols the freight requires.
