Flatbed & Step Deck Trucking in Hamshire, TX
About 22 miles and 30 minutes — straight out FM 365 from the yard, the same farm road our front gate sits on.
Our yard is on the same road
MDJ Services runs out of 1050 FM 365, and FM 365 goes one place west of us: through the rice country to Hamshire. There is no routing decision to make and no interstate to fight — a truck rolls off our pad and is at a Hamshire jobsite in half an hour. Our dispatch log backs that up with nearly twenty loads delivered off Alamo Street alone, so this is not a town we could serve. It is a town we already do, week in and week out.
Rice country freight is its own animal
Work around Hamshire means soft ground. Rice land, crawfish ponds, and gumbo clay that swallows a loaded truck the week after a rain. That is exactly the freight our mat customers built us for — crane mats and timber mats going down so pipeline crews and drilling contractors can work, then coming back out muddy when the job wraps. We know which field roads take a tractor-trailer, when a load needs to stage on the blacktop, and why the delivery window matters more out here than it does in town.
The corridor to Big Hill and beyond
Hamshire sits on the Highway 124 corridor between Beaumont’s industrial base and the coast, with the Big Hill storage complex and pipeline crossings generating steady flatbed and dump work nearby. Pipe, valves, aggregate, select fill, trench boxes — the same loads we run to Winnie and Stowell pass through Hamshire to get there.

Hamshire freight questions
+How fast can you get a truck to Hamshire?
Usually within the hour when trucks are in rotation — the run is one farm road, no interstate. Morning call, morning truck is normal here.
+Can you deliver mats onto soft rice land?
That is most of what we do in Hamshire. We have delivered nearly twenty loads off Alamo Street alone, most of them mats headed to soft-ground work. The driver walks the approach before he commits the truck, and if the field will not take it, we stage where it will.
+Is there a minimum for a short Hamshire haul?
No mobilization charge — Hamshire is home territory on our home road. You pay for the haul, and dispatch quotes it straight at (409) 540-9398.
