Full Truckload Freight Shipping (FTL) Options

Dry Van

Ideal for general cargo and palletized goods, our enclosed trailers provide secure, weather-protected transport for non-perishable shipments of all types.

Temperature Controlled Freight

Maintain product integrity with our climate-controlled equipment—perfect for perishables, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other temperature-sensitive freight. Equipped with systems to maintain specific temperatures or to protect from freeze or melt. Common commodities S-2 manages with our temperature controlled options are electronics, specialty textiles, industrial goods or even wax molds, and more.

Specialized Flatbed Freight Shipping Options

Standard Flatbeds

Maximize flexibility with open-deck trailers, ideal for oversized, irregular, or heavy cargo that requires side or crane loading. Need tarps? We can arrange that!

Step Deck & Double Drop Trailers/RGN

Designed for tall or heavy equipment that exceeds height limitations of traditional flatbeds—ideal for construction machinery and industrial freight.

Conestoga Trailers

A flatbed with the protection of an enclosed trailer, the Conestoga system uses a sliding tarp to shield sensitive freight from weather and road debris while allowing easy side and overhead loading.

An Unmatched Commitment to Carrier Quality

We thoroughly vet and review our carriers before entrusting them with freight—and we monitor their performance on an ongoing basis. As part of the vetting process, we:

Utilize FMCSA, Carrier Monitoring Services like Highway, Carrier Assure and FreightValidate, and referrals
Leverage a preferred carrier list of repeat providers who have delivered consistent results
Clearly define expectations in strong carrier shipment agreements
Verify carrier insurance with the issuing agent, not once but on a regular schedule
Offer a second layer of dispatch review by our Quality Control Representative
Employ carrier scorecards and performance meetings to evaluate execution

To maintain maximum capacity, S-2 continuously develops its carrier base to provide truckload and flatbed freight shipping in even the toughest regions and routes.
