Heavy HaulOversize & Over-Dimensional

The load nobody else can move.

FT&L Specialized moves the commodities that exceed normal oversize dimensions — longer, wider, taller, heavier. Then we do it again tomorrow.

01 Who we are

FT&L enjoys a reputation not shared by many, of being one of the safest carriers of commodities that exceed normal oversize load dimensions.

We are constantly called on to help transport, quote, manage, and procure projects and/or single commodities that pose difficult operational situations for the common carrier.

FT&L still enjoys every relationship with every direct customer it has ever had. That is not an accident. It is the only way we know how to run a company.

02 Our mission

F aith in God and our fellow man
T rust in God first, then each other
L ove one another — this is to love God first

“FT&L Specialized name was derived from the premise that we must always focus on 3 key tenants to be successful, Faith in God and our fellow man, Trust in God first then each other, and Love one another…this is to Love God first.”

Every load. Every mile. Every time.

Safe, on schedule, and without incident.

03 The journey of a load

From the laydown yard to the last inch of the pad — one crew, one plan, one accountable phone number.

“To Whom Much Is Given,
Much Is Required

It is the standard we hold ourselves to when nobody is watching the load but us.
