Flatbed Services in Ontario & Quebec

Six ways we move freight — all on quad-axle flatbed equipment, all within Ontario and Quebec.

Flatbed Full Truckload (FTL)

Dedicated trailer for your load, direct from pickup to delivery. The standard choice for steel, lumber, machinery and palletized building products moving between Ontario and Quebec.

Flatbed LTL & Partial Loads

Not enough freight to fill a trailer? We combine partial flatbed loads on the same lane so you pay for the deck space you use instead of the whole trailer.

Oversize & Wide Loads

Permitted oversize transport within Ontario and Quebec. Anything over 2.6 m wide or 4.15 m high needs a provincial permit — we arrange the permits, flags, signage and escorts required for the route.

Tarped Loads & Securement

Weather-sensitive freight gets tarped and strapped properly — chains, binders, edge protectors, coil racks. Every load is secured to National Safety Code Standard 10 before the wheels turn.

Dedicated & Contract Lanes

Shipping the same lane every week? We'll assign trucks to a recurring schedule so you get consistent capacity and predictable pricing instead of chasing the spot market.

Construction & Steel Hauling

Job-site delivery for structural steel, rebar, beams, precast, lumber packages and roofing loads — including sites with tight windows and limited unloading access.

Industries We Serve

Flatbed freight covers anything that can't go in a dry van. These are the shippers we move most often.

Steel & Metals

Structural steel, beams, plate, rebar, coils, pipe and tubing to fabricators and job sites.

Lumber & Building Products

Lumber packages, engineered wood, drywall, siding and roofing bundles — tarped when the weather calls for it.

Construction & Concrete

Precast, forms, scaffolding, aggregates in bulk bags and general site material.

Machinery & Equipment

Industrial machines, generators, compressors and plant equipment, including permitted oversize pieces.

Manufacturing

Crated goods, fabricated assemblies and plant-to-plant transfers between Ontario and Quebec.

Agricultural Equipment

Tractors, implements and farm machinery moved between dealers, farms and auctions.

Energy & Utilities

Poles, cable reels, transformers and infrastructure components for utility contractors.

Freight Brokers

Reliable flatbed capacity on Ontario–Quebec lanes for brokers who need a carrier that actually shows up.

About Freight5

Founded in 2016 and based in Brampton, Ontario, Freight5 has been moving flatbed freight across Ontario and Quebec for nearly a decade. We grew from a single truck to a fleet of 12 flatbed trucks pulling quad-axle flatbed trailers, driven by experienced, safety-focused professionals.

We built this company on a simple commitment: do the job right, every time. Show up on time, secure every load properly, and keep our customers informed from pickup to delivery.

Whether you're shipping steel, construction materials, lumber, industrial equipment or oversized loads, our team has the experience to move it safely and on schedule — and because we stay inside Ontario and Quebec, we know these lanes, these yards and these seasons better than a carrier passing through.

Our Brampton terminal sits on a fenced and gated yard, so trailers staged between loads sit behind a locked gate rather than on the street.

Flatbed Shipping Questions

Short answers to what shippers ask us most. The full list lives on our FAQ page.

What areas does Freight5 serve?

Freight5 hauls flatbed freight throughout Ontario and Quebec, from its base in Brampton, Ontario. We do not run cross-border loads into the United States.

What is a quad-axle flatbed trailer?

A quad-axle flatbed has four axles under the trailer instead of the usual two or three. The extra axle spreads the weight over more contact points, which allows a higher legal gross weight in Ontario and Quebec — useful for dense freight like steel, precast and machinery.

How fast can I get a quote?

Send your pickup, delivery, commodity, weight and dimensions to dispatch@freight5.ca or call (905) 291-6715. Most quotes on standard Ontario–Quebec lanes come back the same business day.

Do you tarp loads?

Yes. Tarping is available on request and is standard for weather-sensitive freight such as lumber, drywall, finished steel and packaged building products. Mention it when you request a quote so it's priced in.
