Services
Flatbed Trucking
Our flatbed trucking service specializes in transporting oversized and non-containerized freight across North America. With 48-53' flatbed trailers offering 86" width and height clearance, we handle construction materials, industrial equipment, and agricultural machinery. Our drivers use advanced tie-down techniques to secure loads during transit, ensuring safe delivery of high-value assets. This service is ideal for businesses requiring flexible shipping solutions for irregularly shaped cargo.
Heavy Equipment Transport
We specialize in transporting construction, mining, and industrial equipment using specialized trailers including drop deck and double-drop configurations. Our fleet accommodates machinery up to 12' height clearance on bottom decks, with experienced operators ensuring proper loading and securement. This service supports infrastructure projects and equipment relocation needs across Canada and the United States, backed by comprehensive insurance coverage.
Over-Dimensional Transport
Our over-dimensional transport service handles loads exceeding standard size regulations, including permits coordination and route planning. With specialized RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers allowing direct drive-on/drive-off access, we transport wind turbine components, industrial modules, and other oversized cargo. Our team maintains compliance with all regulatory requirements while ensuring minimal disruption to traffic patterns during transit.
LTL Shipping
Our LTL shipping service provides cost-effective solutions for smaller freight volumes that don't require full trailer space. Through strategic freight consolidation, we combine shipments from multiple customers while maintaining strict tracking and handling protocols. This service offers competitive pricing without compromising on delivery timelines or cargo security across our North American network.
GPS Tracking
Integrated GPS tracking provides continuous visibility of freight location and status throughout the transportation process. Customers receive accurate updates on pickup/drop-off windows and can access historical data for shipment verification. This technology enhances operational efficiency while enabling proactive issue resolution, ensuring greater control over supply chain logistics.

Report
I have used Brave Transport for many years. They have always gone above and beyond to help with all of my shipping needs. Ryan is very in depth, and very detail oriented. Over the years, I have asked a lot of outrageous requests, and he has gotten it done every time. He is my choice carrier from the US to Canada. Brave has handled well over 500 loads for me, and they are top notch. Highly recommend their services
