A flatbed truck is a large vehicle with a flat body and no sides or roof around the bed. Flatbed trucks are highly versatile. Typically, used to transport heavy loads that won’t be compromised in bad weather or on rough roads. They can handle freight that is uniquely shaped and cannot fit inside an enclosed body.
