Dry Van Freight Fit Guide

Dry van trailers are the most widely used enclosed freight solution in North America. This guide helps determine if a standard dry van is the right fit for your load—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here’s how to use NPT’s Dry Van service from quote to delivery.

• Share pickup and delivery addresses, dock hours, and appointment process so we can plan the lane.
• Provide commodity description, NMFC/class if known, and any handling requirements.
• Give pallet count, dimensions or linear feet, and total weight so we can confirm trailer fit.
• Specify target service level, delivery window, and receiver constraints (e.g. appointment-only).
• Include reference numbers and documentation needs (BOL, POD, invoice) for clean handoff.
• Confirm exception protocol for detention, reconsignment, or missed appointments so we can respond consistently.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Operational coverage is structured to keep enclosed freight moving with consistent service standards.

• 53' dry van lane coverage across North America (CA-US-MX)
• Drop trailer and preload support where facility flow allows
• Appointment-sequenced retail and distribution routing
• Cross-border handoff coordination aligned to customs workflows
• Detention-aware planning and exception escalation protocol
• POD and documentation closeout discipline for clean billing

Flatbed Freight Fit Guide

Flatbed trailers are built for freight that needs top, side, or crane access, or exceeds enclosed trailer dimensions. This guide helps determine if flatbed is the right fit for your load—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here’s how to use NPT’s Flatbed service from quote to delivery.

• Share exact dimensions, weight, and weight distribution or center-of-gravity so we can confirm deck fit and securement approach.
• Provide loading and unloading method, equipment on site (crane, forklift), and any access or height restrictions.
• Specify securement requirements, protection needs (tarps, blocking), and handling constraints for the commodity.
• Give appointment windows, jobsite protocols, and unloading sequence so we can plan driver and equipment timing.
• Confirm milestone update cadence and on-site delivery confirmation (sign-off, photos) so stakeholders stay aligned.
• Clarify contingency rules for weather, delays, or access changes so we can respond without rework.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Flatbed operations are structured for safer handling, schedule integrity, and jobsite coordination.

• Open-deck capacity for steel, lumber, machinery, and construction freight

How to use this Service

Here's how to use NPT's Step Deck service from quote to delivery.

• Share exact dimensions, weight, and center-of-gravity so we can confirm step deck fit.
• Provide loading and unloading method and any height or access restrictions.
• Specify securement requirements and handling constraints for the commodity.
• Give appointment windows and jobsite protocols for delivery coordination.
• Confirm milestone update cadence and on-site delivery confirmation.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

Step deck operations combine height flexibility with open-deck securement discipline.

• Drop-deck capacity for tall machinery and equipment
• Height clearance optimization for legal compliance
• Securement planning for industrial and project freight
• Cross-border step deck support across CA–US–MX lanes

RGN (Oversize) Freight Fit Guide

RGN and heavy-haul equipment are built for freight that exceeds standard legal dimensions or axle weight limits and requires permit-governed execution. This guide helps determine if RGN or oversize is the right fit for your load—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service

Here’s how to use NPT’s RGN and Oversize service from quote to delivery.

• Share exact dimensions, axle weights, and loading diagrams (if available) so we can confirm equipment fit and permit scope.
• Provide pickup and delivery site access details for low-bed and specialized equipment so we can plan moves and staging.
• Specify jurisdictional constraints, permit timing requirements, and route limitations so we can sequence permits and avoid rework.
• Give escort requirements, safety protocols, and on-site coordination rules so we can align carriers and jobsite expectations.
• Confirm milestone checkpoints and decision-makers for escalation so we can keep the project on track.
• Clarify contingency protocol for permits, weather, and schedule variance so we can respond without delay.

Operational Coverage & Service Standards

RGN and oversize execution combines compliance rigor with disciplined operational control.

• Heavy-haul deck configurations for oversized and high-weight cargo
• Permit-aware planning with route feasibility and timing validation
• Risk-controlled execution for high-value and project-critical moves
• Multi-party coordination across shipper, jobsite, and operations stakeholders
• High-clarity milestone reporting and exception governance
• Cross-border heavy-haul support across CA–US–MX corridors

Roll-Tite / Conestoga Freight Fit Guide

Roll-Tite and Conestoga trailers offer covered-deck capacity with side and top loading access—ideal when freight must be protected from the elements but does not fit or load efficiently in a dry van. This guide helps determine if Roll-Tite or Conestoga is the right fit for your load—and what to use instead when it isn't.

How to use this Service
