Open Deck & LTL Freight Services in Calgary, Alberta
Calgary, Alberta’s Trusted Open Deck Freight Partner
Bowline offers industry-leading open deck and LTL freight services throughout Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, and Okotoks, providing custom freight solutions to support Alberta’s growing industries. With a proven track record across Western Canada, North America, and beyond, we help shippers manage loads of every shape and size, on time and with complete confidence.
Whether you’re moving a full truckload, a less-than-truckload, or a specialized deck freight shipment, our experienced team handles it with care, precision, and the right equipment.
Freight Options for Every Load Type
Our fleet is configured to handle a wide variety of open deck and LTL needs, including:
- Step decks, flat deck, and double drop trailers for height-restricted cargo
- Removable gooseneck (RGN) trailers and lowboys for heavy or tall loads
- Super B and B train configurations for long or bundled freight
- Tarps and securement options for weather-sensitive cargo
Our deck services support both less-than-truckload and full truckload shipping strategies, meaning Calgary-based companies can scale their shipping based on inventory and budget, without compromising on timing or security.
Equipment Matched to the Job
Bowline’s fleet includes open deck trailers in various configurations to support unique freight needs. For mid-weight loads, we use flatbed transportation with custom tarping and securement strategies. Oversized components benefit from lowboys and RGNs, allowing us to maintain height compliance without sacrificing load integrity.
Need a removable gooseneck for a tractor or heavy machinery? Or a flat deck for construction materials and skidded goods? We assess your specs and assign the ideal trailer, eliminating the guesswork and reducing your costs.
