Call for a quote, regardless of your shipping location, destination, or commodity.
Commodities
Valente Trucking Inc. is capable of hauling a wide variety of products, including steel bars, coils, pipes, plates, tubing, and structural steel. You can also ship aluminum products, lumber, forms, brick, concrete, forklifts, machinery, and heavy equipment. These are just some of the items that we are capable of hauling, so call for details. Be sure to ask about expedited service if time is a factor!
LTL & Heavy Hauling
We are expanding our operation to include more specialty hauling. This includes less than truckload (LTL) shipping as well as heavy hauling. LTL shipping includes small local truckloads and slightly larger regional loads that still require a tractor trailer. On the other hand, we are also able to carry loads that are over-width, over-height, over-weight, and over-length, thanks to specialized equipment like:
- Lowboys
- RGN's (Removable Goose neck)
- Drop Decks
- Step Decks
- Extendable Step Decks
- Step Decks with Beaver Tails
- Conestoga Tarping Systems
- Expandable Flatbeds and Van Trailers
