Specialty Freight Shipping
Specialty freight covers cargo that cannot move under standard shipping methods due to size, weight, value, fragility, or complexity. Nexfr8 Brokerage manages these shipments end-to-end, coordinating equipment, routing, and delivery timelines for warehouses, job sites, industrial facilities, and project locations across the U.S.
Oversized & Irregular Cargo
This includes freight that exceeds standard length, width, or height limits and requires open-deck equipment. We manage load planning, securement, routing considerations, and carrier selection to ensure safe, compliant transport.
High-Value & Risk-Sensitive Freight
High-value shipments require heightened attention to carrier vetting, handling procedures, and transit visibility. We coordinate controlled movements to reduce exposure and minimize risk from pickup through delivery.
Time-Critical Specialty Shipments
Some specialty freight must move on compressed timelines due to production schedules, shutdown windows, or project deadlines. We arrange dedicated trucks and direct routing to meet strict delivery windows.
Fragile, Precision & Sensitive Equipment
This category includes equipment that cannot tolerate shock, vibration, or improper securement. Proper blocking, bracing, and equipment selection are critical to protect these shipments during transit.
Project-Based & Phased Freight Moves
Project freight supports construction, industrial, and facility operations that require deliveries in defined phases. We align transportation schedules with installation timelines and site readiness.
Custom-Built & One-Off Loads
Custom-manufactured or one-of-a-kind freight often lacks standardized dimensions or packaging. We design shipping solutions around the freight itself, selecting equipment and loading methods to match its exact requirements.
