Flatbed & Step Deck Trucking in La Porte, TX
About 78 miles via I-10 and Highway 146 — an hour and twenty minutes from our Port Arthur yard.
Where the port meets the plants
La Porte stacks two kinds of freight on top of each other: the container and project cargo moving through Barbours Cut and Bayport, and the plant corridor running down Highway 146 and Battleground Road. Both sides generate flatbed work — steel and machinery coming off the docks, mats and maintenance freight going through the gates — and both sides sit an easy interstate run from our yard.
Port drayage for the odd-shaped stuff
Not everything that lands at Barbours Cut fits in a box. Flat-racked steel, out-of-gauge machinery, and project cargo need a step deck or flatbed waiting when they clear, and they need a carrier who shows up with the right trailer the first time. Tell dispatch the piece, the weight, and the terminal, and we will have the deck it actually fits on.
The 146 corridor, both directions
Between La Porte and Baytown, Highway 146 strings together plants, terminals, and contractor yards we already pass on the Mont Belvieu run. That makes La Porte pickups easy to pair with freight moving the same day — efficiency your rate benefits from.

Yes — flat-racked and out-of-gauge pieces that need a flatbed or step deck. Give dispatch the dimensions and the terminal appointment and we cover it.
+Can you serve the Highway 146 plants in La Porte?
Under your contractor clearance, same as every plant corridor we work. Gate, window, contact — then it is handled.

About an hour and twenty minutes from the yard, and often faster to book than that sounds — our trucks work the 146 corridor most weeks.
