Concrete block & CMU freight
Block freight is a weight problem before it's anything else — a flatbed hits the legal limit long before it runs out of deck. We move CMU and masonry units from Northwest producers every week, so our quotes start from how block actually ships.
What block freight demands
- Weight-first planning: palletized block reaches the 47,000–48,000 lb range fast, and an honest broker tells you when an order needs a second truck instead of an overweight problem.
- Producers' docks on one end, jobsites and dealer yards on the other — forklift or boom offload coordinated before the truck rolls.
- Load balance and securement that keeps banded cubes intact — broken bands at 60 mph are everyone's bad day.
Producer-to-dealer and producer-to-job
Most of our block moves are manufacturer pickups — the same manufacturer-dock freight that makes up the bulk of our board — headed to masonry supply yards and jobsites across the Northwest lanes and beyond. Recurring producer-to-dealer schedules are welcome freight: set the cadence once and the trucks keep showing up.
Common questions
How much concrete block fits on one truck?
It's set by weight, not space — legal gross limits put a practical ceiling around 47,000–48,000 pounds of payload on a standard flatbed. Tell us the cube count and the block weight, and we'll tell you exactly how many trucks the order takes.
Do you ship other masonry with the block?
Yes — pavers, retaining-wall units, veneer, and bagged mortar ride along regularly. Mixed manufacturer loads are normal freight for us.
