Complex Freight & Specialized Logistics Solutions

Specialized freight services are used for shipments that require special equipment, certifications, or handling beyond standard truckload transportation. Cargo may involve unusual dimensions, regulated materials, bulk liquids, wheeled equipment, or partial shipments that require specialized logistics coordination.


As a trusted trucking company and 3PL provider in Chattanooga, TN, BFT Trucking coordinates specialized freight transportation solutions for complex cargo with 24/7 availability. If your shipment does not fit traditional dry van or standard truckload parameters, our third-party logistics company works to build a transportation plan around your specific freight requirements.

Types of Specialized Freight We Coordinate

Tanker Transport

Tanker transportation is used for bulk liquid cargo such as fuel, chemicals, or food grade liquids. BFT Trucking coordinates tanker shipments by reviewing cargo type, required handling procedures, and routing considerations.


Our team aligns equipment and scheduling to support organized bulk liquid transportation.

Roll-on/Roll-off Shipping

RoRo shipping is used for vehicles or wheeled cargo that can be driven on and off a vessel. As a professional RoRo shipping company, BFT Trucking coordinates RoRo shipments by aligning port scheduling, inland transportation, and loading requirements.



This shipping method is commonly used for vehicles, machinery, and construction equipment moving internationally.

Over-Dimensional and Heavy Haul Transportation

Over dimensional and overweight freight includes cargo that exceeds standard height, width, length, or weight limits for typical highway transport.


BFT Trucking coordinates over-dimensional transportation by reviewing exact measurements, weight distribution, and route restrictions before dispatch. For shipments requiring heavy haul transportation, our team plans equipment selection, permitting considerations, and routing strategy to support organized movement from pickup through delivery.

LTL: Less Than Truckload Shipping

LTL shipping, or less than truckload shipping, is used for smaller shipments that do not require a full trailer. BFT Trucking coordinates LTL freight by aligning routing, scheduling, and delivery timelines to help move partial loads efficiently while sharing trailer space.


As part of our broader logistics support, we work with established LTL carriers to match shipment size and destination with the appropriate transportation plan.

Mini Bulk

Mini bulk transport is designed for smaller volume liquid or dry goods shipments that do not require a full size tanker or cargo ship. BFT Trucking coordinates mini bulk solutions by matching shipment size with the appropriate equipment and delivery timeline.



This option supports businesses that need liquid transport without full tanker capacity.

Hazmat Shipping

Hazmat shipping involves transporting regulated hazardous materials that require proper documentation and handling. BFT Trucking coordinates hazmat shipments by reviewing material classifications, planning routing considerations, and aligning equipment with shipment requirements.

Careful coordination supports organized and compliant transportation for regulated materials.
