From 53-foot dry vans to RGN heavy haulers, SkyBurns Carrier Support provides specialized fleet management services tailored to the specific operational requirements, freight markets, and compliance considerations of every equipment category.
The 53-foot dry van is the workhorse of American freight — handling everything from consumer goods and retail merchandise to manufacturing components and industrial supplies. With the largest available freight market and the broadest lane coverage, dry van carriers benefit from SkyBurns' extensive broker network and daily market analysis to consistently find top-paying freight.
Refrigerated carriers serve the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and perishable goods markets — typically commanding rate premiums over dry van due to specialized equipment requirements and operational complexity. SkyBurns reefer specialists understand temperature range requirements, pre-cooling obligations, and the specific carrier packet requirements for food-grade certified operations.
Flatbed operations require specialized knowledge of cargo securement regulations, tarping requirements, and loading/unloading procedures. Steel, lumber, building materials, construction equipment, and industrial machinery are the primary freight categories. Our flatbed team manages permit coordination, securement documentation, and the unique load planning considerations that flatbed freight requires.
Step deck trailers accommodate freight that is too tall for dry van but within legal height limits without special permits — typically cargo from 54 inches to 102 inches tall. Construction equipment, large machinery, and tall industrial freight are common loads. We provide route planning with height restriction analysis and loading guidance for step deck operations.
Conestoga trailers offer the accessibility of a flatbed with the weather protection of a dry van — making them ideal for high-value, damage-sensitive cargo. Steel coils, precision machinery, automotive parts, and sensitive industrial equipment are typical Conestoga loads. We manage Conestoga operations with knowledge of the premium freight markets this versatile equipment serves best.
Power only carriers provide tractor service without trailers of their own — working trailer pool programs, drop-and-hook operations, intermodal port moves, and dedicated tractor contracts. This segment requires a specialized freight strategy that maximizes equipment utilization without the capital cost of trailer ownership. SkyBurns develops power-only specific freight strategies for our clients.
Hotshot carriers serve the time-sensitive expedited freight market with smaller truck-and-trailer combinations — typically Class 3–5 trucks with flatbed, gooseneck, or enclosed trailers. The hotshot market rewards speed, reliability, and professional communication. SkyBurns helps hotshot operators access premium rate opportunities, direct shipper relationships, and the specialized load planning that this segment demands.
Removable gooseneck and lowboy trailers handle the heaviest and tallest freight in the trucking industry — construction equipment, large industrial machinery, wind turbine components, and oversized structural items. This specialized segment requires expertise in oversize/overweight permitting, route surveys, pilot car coordination, and federal and state regulatory compliance. Our heavy haul team provides the specialized management this complex freight requires.
Box trucks, cargo vans, and straight trucks serve the growing local and regional freight markets — last-mile delivery, LTL freight, medical supply transport, and specialized local distribution. These versatile units access freight markets that Class 8 trucks cannot efficiently serve. SkyBurns helps box truck and cargo van operators identify the most profitable load types and customer relationships for their markets.
