Heavy, long & awkward

Flatbed & Oversized.

Cargo that will not fit a standard bed still has to move. LeadFoot Express runs gooseneck flatbeds and pipe racks for over-length, heavy, and awkward freight across the Houston corridor and beyond.

When a standard trailer will not do

Some freight just does not fit. It is too long, too tall, too heavy, or shaped so that a dry van is out of the question. That is where flatbed hauling earns its keep, with an open deck you can load from the side, the top, or the rear and secure properly for the road.

LeadFoot Express runs gooseneck flatbeds and pipe-rack trailers for exactly this freight. We handle the loads that are too urgent for a heavy-haul broker to schedule next week but too big for a standard hot shot van, the in-between cargo that still has a deadline.

What rides on our decks

  • Steel, beams, and building material
  • Pipe, tubulars, and over-length bundles on pipe racks
  • Machinery, skids, and palletized industrial equipment
  • Generators, compressors, and tanks
  • Construction and agricultural equipment

Loaded right, secured right

Open-deck freight lives or dies on securement. Our drivers chain, strap, and tarp loads to spec so your cargo arrives the way it left, and they know when a load crosses into oversized territory and what that means for routing and timing.

  • Gooseneck flatbeds up to 40 feet for long loads
  • Pipe-rack configuration for tubulars and over-length material
  • Proper chains, straps, and tarps for weather and road
  • Guidance on over-dimension routing and timing

From the yard to the region

We load out of the Houston and Baytown industrial complex and run flatbed freight across Texas and on long-haul lanes into Louisiana and Oklahoma. A lot of our oversized work is energy freight, so see oilfield and energy hauling, or pair it with construction site delivery when the load is headed to a build. Every flatbed run is still hot shot at heart, dedicated and direct.

Dispatch FAQ

Questions, answered fast.

How long a load can your flatbeds carry?

Our gooseneck flatbeds run up to 40 feet, and pipe-rack trailers handle long over-length bundles. Send the dimensions and dispatch confirms the right configuration.

Do you handle oversized or over-dimension loads?

Yes. We haul over-length and oversized freight and advise on routing and timing where a load crosses into over-dimension territory.

Can you tarp freight that needs weather protection?

Yes. Drivers carry tarps and secure loads with proper chains and straps so cargo is protected from weather and road conditions.

Is flatbed hot shot faster than a heavy-haul carrier?

For urgent mid-size loads, usually. We dispatch a dedicated truck within the hour instead of waiting on a scheduled heavy-haul slot.
