Open deck
Flatbed freight
Industrial cargo moved on open-deck equipment. Confirm dimensions, securement, tarps, and appointment times with dispatch before pickup.
Capabilities
Open-deck freight. Confirmed load by load.
Tell BSM the lane, the commodity, and the window. Coverage is a yes or a no — not an open promise of unlimited service.
Cargo on the federal record
These types are associated with the carrier’s FMCSA filing. They are not a catalog of every trailer type or a claim of drop-and-hook, dedicated, or expedited programs.
Metal
Sheets, coils, rolls
Metal products when the piece, weight, and securement fit the truck assigned to the order.
Equipment
Machinery, large objects
Machinery and large objects associated with the FMCSA cargo record, when the movement fits the deck.
Jobsite
Construction & building materials
Construction cargo and building materials on flatbed equipment when the lane and timing fit.
How to tender
Lane, commodity, windows.
That is enough to start. BSM will answer whether the movement can be covered — not a maybe dressed as a quote.
Photographs show Indianapolis, not BSM-owned equipment.
