C-A-S is also able to offer expedited straight trucks. Our straight trucks are used as a service to complement our FTL dry van division. When our customers require regional deliveries for loads weighing less than 26,000 lbs. we are able to offer expedited straight trucks, so we can fulfill our customers’ requests across a broad spectrum.

Flatbed shipping is important & unique because there are many items that can be loaded onto a flatbed that cannot be loaded onto another type of truck. Flatbed trucks can also carry more maximum weight compared to a dry van. Most dry vans can haul up to 45,000 lbs. while most flatbeds can haul up to 48,000 lbs.

There are also different types of flatbed trucks. You can choose from
Step Decks
Designed to carry tall cargo that exceeds the legal height limit if transported on a traditional flatbed trailer. Transporting tall cargo on a step deck prevents drivers and operators from having to obtain permits.
Double Drops
For extra-large, heavy loads, double drop deck trailers are used. They get their name from the two higher decks – one in front, one in back – that bookend a lower deck. The lower deck is commonly referred to as a “well.”
Removable Gooseneck trailers
The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches.
Conestoga
The Conestoga Truck is a hybrid that offers the best of two worlds: the Dry Vans and the flatbeds. They allow a fast loading and unloading since it can be done from the sides or from the top. It also protects loads from weather conditions.

Many drivers in the C-A-S fleet are tanker endorsed. This allows our drivers to haul liquid loads that are over 1,000 gallons. C-A-S handles many tanker endorsed loads for our direct customers. Our drivers take all of the necessary tests to stay compliant & follow FMCSA guidelines.

C-A-S has it’s own truck repair shop located in Indianapolis, IN. Our lead shop mechanics have their masters degree in Cummins Engine rebuild. This allows us to make sure our fleet stays well maintained so we are able to provide our customers with the reliable service they have come to expect.

more efficient over parcel shipping. With LTL you can ship pallets which means everything is packed together.
There are many factors that can effect LTL shipping speed and cost. The first is the weight or number of pallets of the shipment. The second is also the freight classification of the shipment. 
There are 18 different freight classifications
