Why this is a common corridor
Seattle and the Puget Sound region are in the middle of a sustained building cycle — data centers, commercial towers, and transportation infrastructure. California's surplus equipment and port imports flow north on I-5 to meet that demand.
IronHaul Logistics runs open-deck freight between California and Washington with flatbed, step-deck, and RGN lowboy trailers. We handle all state permits, route planning, and escort requirements for oversize loads — one specialist from pickup to delivery, no load-board bidding wars.
