Flatbed & Step Deck Trucking in Kirbyville, TX
About 62 miles from the Port Arthur yard — Highway 96 north past Buna, an hour and fifteen minutes on the road.
Twelve more miles past Buna
Kirbyville is the next stop up Highway 96 after Buna — about sixty-two miles and an hour and a quarter from our Port Arthur yard, all of it on road our trucks already know. The town has been a timber town since the railroad came through, and it still moves timber freight: lumber, poles, and the equipment that harvests it. Most carriers off the coast quote Kirbyville like it’s the frontier. We quote it like the far end of a corridor we work, because that’s what it is — Highway 96 runs from our back door up through Jasper County, and Kirbyville sits right on it.
Sawmill and pole freight on the 96 corridor
The freight base here is wood. Sawn and treated lumber heading out in bundles, utility poles and fence posts from yards along the corridor, and the inbound freight the mills themselves need — replacement machinery, saw parts, structural steel for shed and line upgrades. Flatbed and step deck are the right tools for nearly all of it, and securement is where the job is won or lost: rated chains on machinery, edge protection under the straps on banded lumber, and tarps whenever the product can’t ride wet. Our drivers handle this class of freight every week, and it shows at the strap rail.
Equipment and everything else a rural county needs
Between the mills, Jasper County generates plenty of ordinary heavy freight: excavators and dozers rotating between jobs, culverts for the county, cattle guards and fencing steel, portable buildings, and generator skids when storms roll through. We back the deck work with end dump service — limestone and base for driveways, pads, and lease roads. If you’re in Kirbyville and you’ve been told the truck has to come from Lufkin “sometime this week,” call us instead. Seventy-five minutes is a schedule, not an excuse, and our dispatcher will give you a window you can actually plan a crew around.

Kirbyville freight questions
+How long does it take you to get a truck to Kirbyville?
About an hour and fifteen minutes up Highway 96. Same-day is realistic when a truck is open — call (409) 540-9398 in the morning and dispatch will commit to a window, not a maybe.
+Do you haul lumber and pole loads out of the Kirbyville area?
Yes. Banded lumber, treated products, and pole loads are standard corridor freight for us, secured with edge protection and tarped when the product needs to stay dry.
+What trailer do you bring for mill machinery?
Usually a step deck, because height is the common problem with mill equipment. Give dispatch the dimensions and weight and we’ll match the trailer and handle any permits before pickup.
+Can one call cover both hauling and dirt on a Kirbyville job?
Yes. We run flatbeds, step decks, and end dumps under the same dispatch, so steel in and limestone down can be scheduled together instead of juggling two carriers.
