Where the sky is the limit.

Formed in 2018 to serve wind energy customers from the upper east coast to the far west.

In 2018, FT&L formed its Wind Division to better serve our customer base. This concentration of transportation requires personnel uniquely trained to handle an array of awkward pieces.

Because of that, we developed a team of professionals with the right characteristics to not only mitigate the difficulties presented, but also to teach in theory and train future professionals in wind transportation. This endeavor has taken our small Alabama based operation to new heights. FT&L participates in wind projects from the upper east coast to the far west, alongside the biggest names in the industry, helping serve some of the largest utility companies in the world, from the Dakotas to the Texas high plains. We are proud of our team and grateful to our customers.
