Cargo Transport Alliance

Cargo Transport Alliance is a Dallas, Texas-based freight brokerage founded in 2005 with a primary focus on flatbed and heavy haul freight across the Southeast and Texas. The company operates from one of the country's most active flatbed freight markets — Texas is home to major construction, oil and gas, and steel industries that generate consistent demand for open-deck transportation. Over nearly two decades, Cargo Transport Alliance has built a carrier network calibrated to the specific requirements of flatbed, step-deck, and lowboy freight, including oversized and overweight permitting.

Flatbed and heavy haul brokerage demands specialized knowledge beyond standard truckload: permit routing, escort coordination, load securement requirements by state, and carrier equipment certification all require expertise that generalist brokers often lack. Cargo Transport Alliance's focused model means its staff, carrier relationships, and processes are oriented around these requirements. The company serves construction, energy, and manufacturing shippers with freight ranging from standard flatbed lumber and steel to large machinery, wind turbine components, and other oversize/overweight (OS/OW) cargo.

For shippers evaluating Cargo Transport Alliance, the strongest fit is open-deck freight — flatbed, step-deck, or lowboy — particularly for Texas and Southeast lanes where the company's carrier relationships are densest. Construction materials, structural steel, energy equipment, and manufactured goods too large for enclosed trailers are the core freight types. Shippers with dry van, refrigerated, or LTL needs will require separate provider relationships, as Cargo Transport Alliance's specialization does not extend to enclosed freight modes.
