How early should shippers book flatbed capacity?

There is no single lead time that fits every flatbed shipment. Shippers should discuss capacity as soon as the freight dimensions, route, equipment needs, and project schedule are reasonably known. Earlier planning becomes more important when a load requires a specific trailer type, fixed appointments, tarping, project sequencing, or transportation during periods of strong flatbed demand.
